Philadelphia QB Michael Vick tweeted a few days ago that he was looking forward to returning to Atlanta to sign copies of his new book, “Michael Vick: Finally Free,”:
The stellar athlete was originally scheduled to make an appearance at an Atlanta area Barnes and Noble bookstore next weekend, but after multiple threats of violence, his appearance has been canceled!

Vick has paid his debt to society after serving a 18 month federal prison sentence stemming from his involvement in a dog fighting ring. He’s successfully resumed his football career but since adding a new pet to his family, there are some idiots out there who feel the need to threaten his life.
Dayum…. let the man live!
Details below…
Vick was set to sign copies of his new book, “Michael Vick: Finally Free” at Barnes and Noble locations in Atlanta, New Jersey and Pennsylvania but the retail bookseller has released a statement announcing that all signings have been cancelled due to safety concerns.
“While we stand by Michael Vick’s right to free speech and the retailers’ right to free commerce, we cannot knowingly put anyone in harm’s way, and therefore we must announce the cancellation of Mr. Vick’s book-signing appearances,” said Byron Williamson, president of Worthy Publishing.
“We’ve been assured these threats of violence, which have been reported to the police, are being taken very seriously by local authorities.”
The Atlanta appearance was scheduled for this Saturday, March 16th.
The threats have been reported to police and despite the negativity energy surrounding the incidents, Vick’s fans are still supportive and cheering him on.
On a happier note, Mike’s book is still available for purchase and he & his lovely wife Kijafa (who married July 2012) still appear happy and in love!

It’s sad that there are still disgruntled ‘animal lovers’ out spewing death threats. It seems a dog’s life is worth more than a man’s in some people’s eyes.
Keep ya head up Mike!

All killing is wrong..even the person that tries to kill Michael Vick because that person is not GOD!
No matter how much good he does he will always be remembered for that one bad
So….you won’t kill a dog, but you’ll kill a man? #chilebye
Tameka Harris, I’m going to need you to do some research!
We know exactly who these peoples are that hate Mick Vick but he should be able to live just like some of them that has taken human lives. Mike should have came to Atlanta and we should have showed these peoples that we still love and support Mike Vick. -Peoples are not willing to forgive until it is their time to seek FORGIVENESS.
people r really twisted; just like when casey anthony got off; she got so many threats; people that make death threats are not better than the person accused of something; Vick was going to be in Exton Pa; I was going to see him there; do your thing Vick; team vick!!
What is wrong with people? Hypocrites! You are willing to take a human life because he took a dog’s life? Makes no sense whatsoever.
I’m not a fan of Michael Vick or what he did; however, he served his time for this. He served more time than folks that have assaulted human beings. Move on PETA crazies!
I’m not a fan of his either but I do believe in second chances. This man has served his time and I’m assuming learned from his mistakes. I’ve heard of people who have dragged puppies and dogs behind cars for the thrill of it and I didn’t hear these folks crying behind that. The people that are making these threats are really the ones that need their heads examined.
What does that say about a society that values an animal’s life over a human life? It’s NOT that serious..I like Fido like the next person..but it’s not enough to ruin someone’s life or threaten them behind it..folks and their priorities…
You know what I find amazing? While some of these folks are protesting about these animals they’re the same ones out there screwing the animals.
chile don’t even go there about that beastiality mess..folks are CRAZY!!!
What he should do is bring a dog with him to his next signing, that way if anybody does something crazy, it proves that they are no different. It’s crazy how they loathe this man over a dog , but worship a nigga like Bernie Madoff who robbed people blind or hope cowards like George Zimmerman get away with killing a teenager.
Got damn…Martha Stewart can go to jail and come back to a successful career, Lil Kim goes to jail and can’t come back to a hot beat? This world is crazy.
People care more about animals than people. The man did his time, leave him be.
I’m on it.. Girl u know I was sitting on ready for Saturday.. Say it ain’t so.. Crys Woolfork Grace

I do not agree with death threats that is wrong but I will say I am so happy his book signing is cancelled. Saw the VICK TORY dogs on HLN today so awesome to see these sweet dogs in safe loving homes and not cowering from people anymore. Can’t imagine what a terrifying life they led being beaten, electrocuted and thrown in a ring to fight for their life every day. A lot never made it out and some left with missing ears and theirs face ripped apart as well mental scars of living in complete fear for 24/7. The beast is the man Michael Vick he should have been locked away for good. He has shown no remorse for the pain and death he inflicted on his innocent trusting victims! The very sad part is this man now owns a dog!!!
So you are saying that you have factual evidence that Mike Vick himself tortured all these animals? I’m not negating his part in this crime, nor is he; he served his time and paid restitution what more do you want? If you chose not to attend the book signing that is fine, it’s not going to affect book sales because in all actuality he has many supporters! He deserves a second chance, unless you work for the Almighty you can’t judge him nor deny him the right to redeem himself.
I just can’t see why people can’t leave Michael Vick alone when Casey Anthony is walking, talking and free to post YouTube videos of HER new puppy and blonde dye job. _/_/_/ #seats
HATIN AZZ FOLKZ SMH CRAZY
It really is a shame that Michael Vick is treated like he was skinnin babies alive in a shed, for goodness sake let this man redeem himself! There are REAL criminals (politicians) runnin aroun gettin priase and glory and we’re worried about a dude that had sumthin to do with dog fightin??
And he looks hella fine in that top pic!
Ray Stevens KILLED A HUMAN and I haven’t seen that slow his roll a bit. In fact, I see him rolling in endorsements with a brand new Super Bowl ring on his finger.
I was just as disappointed as anyone when the dog fighting came to light but that was years ago and he has since paid his dues. More damn dues than the half a dozen athletes I can think of right now that have killed human beings via shootings and DUI accidents. Mike Vick should rise above these lame brain "activists" who can’t move on with their own lives and derive pleasure in remaining fixated on someone else’s past. #SignYoBooksBoo
Don’t forget, black folk were once considered to be cattle or property. This is very evident in today’s time because even we, black folk, a lot of us don’t place the same value on ourselves as we do white folk. Mr. Vick is no exception. A lot of you guys turned your backs on him and still won’t look at him even though none of us can cast any stones anywhere…

Mighty whi– strike again:(
Do you all really think these people hurling death threats at this man are doing in the name of Scooby? I really hate to play the race card….like really, but they hate him because once he went to prison, they were counting on him not to ever set foot on a professional football field again. When he got out of prison and was signed by the Eagles, these people were livid! He added insult to injury when he first played the Falcons and the fans were booing, he pointed to the score board and pointed out the fact that Philly was winning. I think if he came back and played for Atlanta, or if that was even an opportunity, most of the people will still regard him as their "hero." That is of course if he had a good season. Billy Bob with the sixty acres in the middle of nowhere stays killing dogs and he can’t even get a spot on the "save the animals" commercials…..but I will say this, I am a pet parent and while I may not love my pets as much as I love my child, I still love them so the thought of anyone harming innocent turns my damn stomach…while they should leave this man alone, perhaps he shouldn’t have put out the "new edition to the fam" pic with his knew four-legged friend…not as bad as that Kasey Anthony witch saying she wants another baby (vomit in the back of my throat), but to some of these pet fanatics it stings just as much.
Preach!
It isn’t anyone but hating, racist Peckerwoods throwing empty threats to mess up his money. If someone wanted to kill him there would be no warning. They value animals more than Blacks. I don’t understand this dog craze amongst Blacks kissing them in the mouth, babying them. Not long ago they had dogs attacking us, but kneegrows love to emulate kkkrakkkas nowadays, so weak!
PREACH!!!!!!!
What I can’t stand is when people have dogs just to have one as an accessory. Dogs require care and they get sick and have problems just like humans and those vet bills can be very expensive too.
