HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- A 74-year-old man attacked by pit bulls Friday morning had his right arm amputated, his left arm partially amputated and suffered severe facial injuries, Putnam County deputies said. Deputies were called to the 200 block of Old Hawthorne Road in Hawthorne about 11 a.m. and found Roy McSweeney severely injured. McSweeney was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville and was in surgery Friday afternoon. His condition was not available. Investigators said the two dogs responsible for the attack belonged to McSweeney's neighbor.
They said the owner of the dogs gave both of them to authorities, and the pit bulls were euthanized and taken to the Putnam County Health Department to be tested for rabies.
Deputies said no further details could be released. .
Damn!
Quoted in my own lifetime.
That’s a dream come true.
After pages and pages of debating pro pit nutters on prior threads, I have learned to recognize when pro pit nutters are just hurling crud against the wall to see if anything sticks and if they can get me to chase after their nonsense (that’s when you put no effort into your posts but expect me to thoroughly explain, with references, every detail of mine). Just a waste of my time. I leave and the pro pit nutters go back to talking about themselves, their dogs, their self importance etc. It’s win win for both of us.
You're a private property confiscating, gun grabbing, dog killing, anti home security, fascist.
You guys are making me all weepy and stuff. ;-)
Name calling? Yeah, the Muslims who board airliners with a fuse trailing out of their shoes also claim civil rights violations when ‘profiled’. Ok, you need to have the last word - I don’t. Go ahead and take it, it’s yours.
OK...I'll take it.
He won't answer...we have the last word.
You wouldn't want a confiscator of private property to renege on his promise, would you?
Oh, look.
The gutless little candy ass can’t get traction *here* so he’s starting a ‘prayer thread’ elsewhere to drag in ‘reinforcements’.

What a sneaking wimp.
If you can’t run with the big dogs, keep your whiny ass under the porch.
How low will he go?
Just like a nanny-state lib...when you lose the argument, start playing on the emotions of those who don’t know your agenda.
But now you blaspheme and invoke the Lord’s name in vain elsewhere because you couldn’t hack it *here*.
Where were your “prayer requests” when this was first posted?
Do you *just now* care if he is healed or not?
Hypocrite.
God will not be mocked.
I’ve seen LOW but you definitely take the prize for LOWEST.
Ha...wait until The Old Lady comes back and starts showering you with kisses and handmade soaps...:))
What name calling?
He simply stated your obvious position quite clearly.
Why don’t you go ask for prayers about it?
“Trust me on this. None of us want to know how you reached the conclusion that dog lovers equate to terrorists and their pets become tantamount to bombs.”
Um, “straw man argument”.
“Red herring”
“Hyperbole”
All of which, I believe, are the last desperate refuge of a loser.
But I appreciate what you guys said, more than I have the ability to express.
Thank you.

Really? You mean he's a blowhard asshat? Thanks for the confirmation, because that's all I see here.
Oh, yippee.
Lame ad hominem.
Run out of intelligent things to say, already?
[not that you had a surplus of them, in the first place]
The only reason either of us is doing this is because we know everyone else needs some pointers on pun wars.
I understand you not wanting people snooping around for pictures of your dogs, but I do want to point out, even a Pomeranian can kill. Dogs are animals, and they have animal natures.
As much as you hate the thought of pit bulls being ‘mentioned in the same breath’, you might be interested to know that Pitbulls, Dobermans, Rotties and German Shepherds are being targeted in Atlanta:

Miami, where the pit bull ban instituted years ago is STILL not working, also considers Dobies one of the ‘bully breeds’:

Like it or not, your lovely dobermans are up on the chopping block with my pitbull.
And no, having a little yappy dog is not much of a deterent to thieves. Three of my neighbors, all of whom have dogs under 20 lbs, have been burglarized in the last six months. My house remains intact.
Thank you!
I was sitting here yesterday, with the dog at my feet, when that boy (now a strapping 2 year old) came up and was trying to get my attention. He put his foot on Swiper’s rear and bosted himself up into my lap. The dog never batted an eyelash...He stayed perfectly still so as to be a more effective step-stool.
I am so lucky to have him.
Patience, Sal. Your soaps are curing. And you have a birthday coming up.
And I don’t have Mark’s address anyway, so any love I send him will just have to be virtual like the thumbs up I gave him for spanking the fascist.
