ABC 7 reports that residents knew the victim as a “jack of all trades” type in the neighborhood, like cutting grass and going to get groceries for neighbors. She was about to cut grass when the pit bull attacked her. Police said the dog bit her all over her body, including her neck. Chicago police and animal control officers remain at the scene of the deadly dog attack. Currently, officers are going door-to-door trying to find out who owned the pit bull and how the animal got loose.
Is that your thing?
Prayers for her loved ones. An awful way to die.

Whatever it takes to raise awareness that pitbulls do not belong anywhere near people. They should all be rounded up and shot before anyone else gets maulef.
maybe norski is “son of” chet99
chet99 was banned, so the regular pitbull stories stopped in 2010 :)
I too love the government seizing peoples’ private property.
I mean, wow, thirteen deaths in a country of 320,000,000 in over seven months. This is clearly a crisis and all small government conservatives need to unite for a ban.
Goodbye ‘Punchie’
It sounds like your family and your neighbors loved you.
You almost made it to the age of 60.
Someone’s carelessness prevented that from happening.
Rest in Peace, my sister in Christ.
I don’t blame him. Pit bulls can’t be trusted. After a friend of mine got one. I don’t go visit them anymore.
Maybe Norski had baby that was eaten by his prized pit bull, and this is how he copes?
Norski has got to be a female. No guy worth anything would be this deathly afraid of a dog.

Thank you. The same.
Let's first start with the people calling for this then we can revisit the idea afterward.
Well good for you. Seems like an absurd vocation, but if it helps you feel good about yourself, go for it.
Mountain lions for pets now! The dag gum guberment should not be taking away our right to own whatever vicious animal we want.
No words for the victim? A woman just suffered a death I wouldn’t eve wish on you.
Have they been eaten yet?
In the time it took you to write that, thousands died, wheres your damn sorrow for all of them? What a monumentally stupid thing to write.
