OK. What is it with the dog fighting? Doesn't anyone read or hear the news? DMX is a well known rapper. He should have people to tell him not to get involved with dog fighting even if he doesn't know any better. Didn't a football or basketball player just get busted for this not too long ago?

I have no sympathy. He should get jail time.

It's Band-Aids on bullet holes, if you ask me. People that feel inadequate or inferior often compensate or overcompensate for these feelings. Those with a Napolean complex will often buy shoes with lifts in them for a quick fix, at the very least. Or they may become the bullies themselves at worst. Even though voluntary, I do view such behaviors as less of an action and more of a reaction.

The easy way for some to attain power in our capitalist culture, if only in appearance, is with guns, bling, ho's and big mean dogs. In DMX's case, all of the above. There's a huge, huge difference between an excuse and a reason. That said, is such dispicable animal cruelty, in any possible way, right? I think not. Can I understand how these crimes continue to this day? Unfortunately, i think yes.
