I think the OP and many others are reading way too much into this article. I'm no Vick apologist but the story falls far short of implicating Vick as the shooter. That being said, Vick is on a short leash with the Commissioner and he really needed to be celebrating his birthday is some manner other than a bash at a club. When you're a person of Vick's stature/exposure, common sense would say that nothing good is likely to come of such a party.
