But violence against violence is NOT the answer!

Vick recently had to cancel stops on his book tour because he was reportedly receiving death threats from anonymous people who still hate his guts.

But Vick is undeterred and will continue his tour.

Although he is confused why some people he's never met are threatening his life.

Even though PETA is denying any involvement in the flour-bombing of Kim Kardashian they have offered to pay the legal fees of the assailant.

A PETA spokesperson said:

"We don't believe Kim would be so shortsighted as to go after this woman, but if she does, we'll definitely look at how to maximize exposure to the cruel fur industry, and that could mean defending the activist if she wishes."

They think that Kimmy K should donate all her furs to the homeless.

Kim seems to be ignoring PETA when it comes to fur and is focusing on sending a message to any future flour-bombers.

On deciding whether or not to press charges, she said:

"I am just going to think about it, because I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that. So we are going to handle that."

We think we actually side with Kim on this one, PETA shouldn't support an attacker and bully.
