I'm not putting him on a pedestal or glorifying him or anything because the guy is still a thug. All I'm saying is that I am somewhat sympathetic to his plight in life as he never had a choice or a chance as he was turned into a thug at a very young age out of necessity to survive and everything he has done in his life good or bad has been a product of that.
I don't see any parallels with Tyson and Vick and you can call it bias if you want but I can argue that you are even more biased as it's pretty obvious by the way you conduct yourself on these forums you have one singular view and are steadfast with it. I got no problem with it but please don't bring out the " personal bias" card as that's pot calling the kettle black stuff.

Actually, if you read my post earlier, it has nothing to do with the fact that it's rape. Change it to arson if you want. The point still remains, but way dodge the question. So let me get this straight, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong:
Tyson: Had rough childhood, grew up in a bad environment. Did something heinous, but did his time. Not responsible for his actions. Not a bad person. You have sympathy
Vick: Had rough childhood, grew up in a bad environment. Did something heinous but did his time. Continues to be a vocal activist and seeks to prevent others from committing the same types of crimes. Bad person. Zero sympathy
If that's the case fine. I'm just pointing out how hypocritical it is.
