‘Yet, it was totally predictable that this creature would eventually kill or seriously injure someone. That is why people have these dogs.”
In the 70s, Dobermanns were the “killer breed du jour”.
Is your “psychological profile theory” the reason *I* had them?
And *still* have them?
Care to guess how many people my dogs bit or killed?
No.
If some person randomly shoots into the air in a populated area, every day, several times a day, he may do so for years before someone is killed or seriously injured.
When such an outcome eventually does happen, he is likely to be prosecuted for several different types of homocide. The attorneys on both sides argue their points on the various charges. The jury decides "guilty" or "not guilty" on each of the various charges. Maybe he lucks out on the "intent" arguments, and gets convicted of "negligent" something or other.
"Harboring a vicious firearm" would not likely satisfy the voters in the neighborhood.
