ICE CUBE: Hell is not enough

This is the first and last thing you will ever need to read regarding my feelings toward the hero worship given to dog torturer — and killer — Michael Vick. I have not given my emotions one day of rest since he became an Eagle. Yet this note sent to ESPN from guitarist Nils Lofgren (famed for his roles within J+Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen's bands) is so eloquent, vivid and heartbreaking it shamed me for NOT having raised more of an issue with those who have suddenly turned Vick into a hero just because he scored a few touchdowns and muttered a few apologies. While I sincerely hope Andy Reid and Jeff Lurie rot in hell for their decision to bring Vick back to professional prominence I somehow feel as if hell is not enough.

Why do we care what Nils Lofgren thinks? 
I hope he receive as little forgiveness for his transgressions in life. Given that he's human, I'm sure they're many.

oh god

How long do you punish the guy?  Lock him up and throw away the key?  Firing squad?  You're free but you have no skills and we won't let you do the only thing you've ever done?  Quit fucking crying.  If the public has forgiven him, he's done his job.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH
