how many evil deeds pit bulls have done

No offense, but you apparently don't understand the meaning of the word evil and/or you don't understand plain English.

Since evil can simply mean "causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful" (e.g., the evil effects of a poor diet), the phrase evil deeds can be taken to mean acts causing injury.

For the record, I oppose breed bans.

Evil in my experience is contingent on the ability to make a moral choice,
to know good from bad and yet still choose bad.
I never assign evil to inanimate objects, impersonal forces or dumb animals.
Guns are not evil, nor are hurricanes or dogs.
On this planet only humans are capable of perceiving or committing evil.

No doubt others have a different view but I'll stick to my "unplain" meaning.
