Sheesh...Your argument sounds like the homo lobby fighting for the right to give blood due to their "perceived" civil rights discrimination.
Emotional? I don't get it...This attack was just another data point in the case of against a fighting breed designed for nothing but killing. That's the facts-Jack! Now, You have been reduced to casting the liberal epithet due to having lost the argument based on data. The data reveals that ABPT's are over represented in killings and serious maulings by a large margin. Typical liberal denial!
There's nothing in the constitution garanteeing unrestricted fighting breed dog ownership..nothing whatsoever!...Heroin, handgrenades, mountain lions, tanks and venomous snakes are all example of prohibited property items.
Personally, I wouldn't give a damn if the attacks were limited to the owners...Then it would be merely a case of Darwinism. But they are not unfortunately, just google "Pit Bull shot" and see how many of these dogs are shot beserking neighborhoods.
Our inner cities are nearly third world countries because of liberal denial and neglect. In lieu of a proper solution from the Pit community, who seem hellbent on selling more dogs at the expense of public safety, the authorities will have to develop solutions. That's how it works in a normally functioning Republic. Feel free to call it nanny statism...some consider it reigning in criminal conduct.
Like I said earlier, the breed is only 200 years old and was selected by lowlifes for fighting. There's no useful purpose served by having them in neighborhoods.
Feel free to stick your fingers in your ears and stomp up and down like a child....
