His actions seem disproportionate to the threat he allegedly faced.

No.

I have witnessed people dying from a dog merely jumping on them.

No one invited onto private property is required to risk his life over the irresponsibility of the property owner.

Harmon can’t control what others do.

But she has control of her dog. She can and should have reduced the risk posed to her animal from a stranger.

Owning a dog is a responsibility.

Harmon clearly wasn’t up to it.

People like this guy delivering food while packing a pistol? Such feeble people should not be doing such a job.

Let us be serious.

Unless this guy laid down on the ground and allowed the dog to rip his throat out, it is highly unlikely that this dog represented any sort of "risk his life" scenario to this guy.

The worst he probably could have faced was several bites, *IF* the dog was prone to biting. Many dogs just bark and snarl.

Often with troublesome dogs, there is a record of past biting of people. Has any such information come out regarding this animal?

There is much about the story that raises legitimate questions.

Why was the dog out loose in the first place.

And it’s pretty suspicious that it just so happened that her Ring doorbell wasn’t operating at the time. I’m with the FReeper who thinks it was and she just doesn’t want to let someone see it because it would vindicate the guy.

Better to the the attention whore, victim and whine about the big bad delivery man, who she HAD to know was coming as she ordered something. Attention is DRUG TO SOME PEOPLE.

Knowing she had a delivery coming because she ordered something, she should have been aware of what was going on on her property, and should have kept her dog under control until he left. Course, even then her dog should ALWAYS be un der her control.

She’s capitalizing way too much on this incident. Something doesn’t fit.
