I'm very upset, because I could see if he was vicious dog. But he wasn't." Cravens added, 'I like J.R. And I respect him. But I sure as heck didn't know he had a gun.'"

Online, she probably projects her anti-"gun" preference (and other New Age preferences) onto those who don't share her pet preference.

She would have felt better if the guy ran over the dog in a car, preferably a Prius.

I suspect that she repects J.R. even more now.

"not the father for shooting the dog in front of children"

Good Lord, what a dumbass statement! The father was in his right to shoot the damn dog in front of children, the police chief, the Pope or Mickey Mouse! It was in his freakin' house!!!

Save us from stupid-ass reporters!

A pit bull that attacks or acts like it is going to attack one of my kids will be a dead pit bull. Sue me.

"Martin took out his .9 mm gun and shot the pit bull. The dog then ran down the street and died."

A .9mm gun? Wow...didn't know they made one that small. I say again, save us from stupid-ass reporters.

I must not be understanding this story. I can see shooting a pit bull or any other breed of dog that is attacking someone, but this dog sounded like a friendly dog. Why not just call animal control instead of blazing away? JR sounds like he needs some watching.

Liberals always side with the aggressor, never with anyone who stands up to defend themselves.

I’m sure that pit bull was a really, really nice doggie. And Che was a nice man, too.

The shooting upset neighbor Ofelia Cravens.

I think that somewhere there's a Constitutional right not to be upset.

Weird story, because the only people quoted are those only tangentially related to the story. Meanwhile, no comment from the principals.

The shooting upset neighbor Ofelia Cravens. Prior to the shooting, Cravens said her daughter found the dog wandering down the street. Cravens said the pit bull was large, but friendly. Cravens said she and her daughter went up and down the street trying to find out who owned the dog. Cravens even put the dog in her garage for awhile.

"The next thing you hear is a shot," said Cravens. "And that was it. I'm very upset, because I could see if he was vicious dog. But he wasn't."

Moron. She finds a stray dog and determines after a few minutes that it wasn't vicious.

Any dog that came towards me of my kids growling would not leave intact.

It’s a good idea for dog owners to have a canister of pepper spray handy. Generally, only trained attack and fighting dogs will immediately attack another dog, and at about any point, a shot of pepper spray in the nose (important, not the eyes—that is for people), will make the majority of even aggressive dogs run away.

Breed also matters. While pit bull owners often find their dogs to be singularly affectionate, they are very aware of their reputation as a dangerous breed. More and more, police officers are in the habit of killing pit bulls on the spot, and any other large dogs at all, correctly figuring that little remonstration will result. Many very friendly dogs have died solely because of their size.

I have to agree that a strange pit bull in a residence has to be considered a lethal threat, and little consideration can be given because of their speed and ability in the attack. It is unfortunate, but in the final analysis, the painful truth is that it is just a dog.

Don’t want your dog shot? Keep him contained on your property. End of story.

Cravens added, “I like J.R. And I respect him. But I sure as heck didn’t know he had a gun.”

You do now, dimwit.

Good shoot.

What a no-brainer. A threatening pit bull. Kill pit bull. Any questions?
