IMO
Chet is OK. His stories are worthy of attention in exposing such savage incidents that occur in our society today. They point towards the element of humanity, barely, which use these animals as extensions of their own sick personalities.
Some would say - "Its not the dogs fault" - well, yes it is the dog that has done the deed. Thats what the dog knows as a natural reaction. Animals such as this do not belong in circulation in general society.
Or - "Its the owners fault for this" - Yes, yes it is. And, again IMO, the more light is shown on these societal dregs who own, train, abuse and encourage such behavior as this in their animals, the faster these deviants can be removed from the gene pool.
So, I think Cht is doing a service, albeit a rather unpopular one in some corners, by his focus on bringing these incidents to the attention of a larger audience.

And another thing - In reading Chets threads over the last several days, something came to my mind.
The arguments being made against Chets stories very closely resemble the arguments I encounter made by looney liberals against me as a conservative on other forum sites.
Ya'll might want to keep that in mind.

And no, for other reasons, I ain't gonna donate on Chets behalf.
Adios.

Thats what the dog knows as a natural reaction.

That is entirely incorrect. You should revisit that point. Pits are not by nature human-aggressive.

I won't try to convince you that you are wrong; you seem to have your mind made up since you accuse pit owners of being delusional like liberals. You just don't realize that you are doing the exact thing you accuse others of, reacting based on sensational stories and emotion even though you clearly (based on your quote I posted) really do not know of what you speak.

Keep what in mind?
You haven't described what arguments remind you of looney liberals.

Yes there is value in posting a report of a pitbull attack
but when some one posts nothing but pitbull stories numerous times a day
and refuses to report a death by another type of dog
then there is something amiss.

There is no analysis,
no description of salient factors involved in the attacks except for the type of dog,
no attempt to draw lessons that can be applied to lessening the instances of all dog attacks
Just deluge posting of whatever he can find on the net that is negative.

There is no balance.
There is never anything to be learned in a Chet post
except that pitbulls are (I'm paraphrasing) the devils spawn

It indicates an obsessive, emotionally driven fanatic
whose concerns aren't those of helping educate people
and preventing attacks but rather ginning up hysteria and fear
and whose ultimate goal is to restrict the property rights of law abiding responsible owners.

I've seen folks like him before.
There should be no pleasure posting stories of attacks
we only should do so because we have a responsiblity to investigate them.
There are some folks though who seem to derive a perverse
sort of glee when they come across a pit bull attack story
and the greater the damage to the victim
the more excitement they seem to draw from it.

I'll soon be working on a series of articles about this years ignored victims
As someone pointed out...

" Why aren't the stories of the 3 week old baby killed by a husky in Bourbonnais, Illinois, the 3 year old killed by a Rottweiler in Ft. Worth Texas, the 4 year old killed by a Rottweiler in Chicago, IL, the 8 year old killed by the 100 pound mixed breed, the 2 week old killed by a Chow in Mesa, AZ, the 38 year old man killed by two bull mastiffs in Rancho Mirage, the 3 year old killed by a husky in Wayne County, GA, being plastered all over the place?"
