A family friend rushed over and shot one of the dogs. Both dogs ran away.

He'd been waking up every day stroking his pistol looking out the window at the dogs and saying to himself, "go ahead, make my day."

One of the troubling aspects of these stories is that these pit bulls will attack people for unknown reasons.

Why would taking out the garbage set these dogs off?

“Authorities say the dogs have never attacked people before”

Once was enough........

Zillionth pit bull attack this year, it seems.

Look, I've known one or two people who have very nice pit bulls, but let's be honest: Those dogs are retarded. Sure, I've been around docile pit bulls, but they were retarded docile pit bulls.

Why don't we continually read about a flurry of German Shepherd attacks, or evil Collie attacks? Those dogs have shown they're capable of killing, but it always seems to be that pit bulls are the ones that kill people in significant numbers.

Couldn't be a media conspiracy against the Dogs Of Peace, I don't think...

I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.

At least the dog didn’t kill an innocent.

but.....they never killed anyone before today!

My neighbor’s part pit bull went after my two youngest the other day. Luckily, I stepped in between and he turned tail. I had words with my neighbor and he kept saying aver and over, “he wouldn’t bite anyone, He plays with my grandchildren every day?’ I asked for his email and sent him two dozen accounts of pit bull dog owners who made variations of that same statement after their dogs killed or mauled a neighbor. I included pictures where available. To his credit, he got rid of the dog. At least I haven’t seen him in over a month.

Of course not. I've learned from certain freepers how sweet and friendly the breed is.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office says two red bone pit bulls were involved.

Hmm. I’ve heard of “redbone” and I’ve heard of “pit bull” but the two aren’t equivalent in any context I’m aware of.

“Redbone” is a coon hound that can often be trained to run foxes or deer. “Pit bull” isn’t a coon hound and doesn’t run coons or foxes or deer.

“Redbone” is a hunter/runner/tracker. “Pit bull” (ones I’m aware of) are NOT. They’re “working dogs” but they fight.

I’m sure this must be some sort of Ebonics mistranslation or something.

“A family friend rushed over and shot one of the dogs.”

I’m told that the only purpose of a gun is to kill people.

Since the owner was killed, does this qualify for a Darwin Award nomination?

I’ve suggested it, and I think others have too. Round up every single pit bill in this country, airlift them to Iran, and let them loose in the presidential palaces over there. Two problems solved with one solution; we get rid of two uncontrollable species of dogs.

Shot or shot at one of the dogs? A bit confusing.

A common story.
