The brother of Michael Vick, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback who spent two-years in jail for running a dog fighting operation took to Twitter ranting about the George Zimmerman Trial. Marcus Vick expressed his anger that Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012.

Vick began his tweets on Thursday as the prosecution was beginning closing arguments. Before the verdict in the Zimmerman trial was read Marcus Vick said on Twitter he believed Zimmerman should get at least 30-years in prison for killing Martin. Vick also went off about how in his opinion a dog's life means more in the US than a persons.
Vick ranted and raved about his brother Michael Vick having to spend 2-years in jail over what he called "some bullsh**." Marcus Vick disagreed with George Zimmerman's self-defense claim. Vick said chasing down a kid was not self-defense.
