Mark it down - 1/11/2011 - the day I quit reading Lio. I cannot be more offended than I now am by this strip. Yes, Michael Vick did horrible things to those dogs and yes, many of them died, but the fact is the man was convicted, served his sentence and is now trying to rebuild his life as a changed man. Is he now perfect? Absolutely not!
It appears that Lio is above being able to forgive. Who do you want as an example for your child - someone who made mistakes, but served his time and is seeking to change or someone who cannot forgive others and holds bitterness in his heart?
Nobody gets through this life perfect. We all make mistakes and many are very egregious. But the worst faults are the internal arrogance and condescending attitudes of many who think they are above making the same mistakes of others. The real-life Lio will soon learn that he’s no different than Michael Vick and that his only hope is found in the forgiveness of God.
