According to a family member, there will be a vigil at the scene of the incident Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
Did you say something? I think the back of your pants muffled the sound.
Once again you are missing the BIG POINT. Even if you are right there is NOTHING being done to insure the owners have the training and the skills to care for these dogs.
Go to just about any animal shelter in the country and you will find that 50-70% of the dogs for adoption are Pits and Pit Mixes. How many people have the training, skills, temperament and even the desire to handle these dogs? I doubt its one in a thousand. At present the dogs far out number the people capable of handling them what is your plan to address this issue? As well as the issue of untrained unfit owners?
Well, if you think so, then I know it’s not true. Kinda like knowing everything obambam was for; I was likely to be against and he rarely disappointed in that regard.
So you two think so much of Mike’s commentary to Usenet, that you refer to it as though it were a description of a logical fallacy? That’s pretty funny! Well, that doesn’t matter, either. Godwin suspended his “law.” ;-D

By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I’m with you.

I’m a CCW holder but I don’t need it in my state. We are free and unhindered in that regard.
I’ve thought this through long ago. Maybe you should consider what would happen if you shot someone’s dog. Maybe even shot the owner. Will you go to prison for manslaughter? It will take you hundreds of thousand of dollars in court and bail to find out. What if the owner lived. Now you have to live in fear looking over your should every waking hour. What if he died but had some friends who wanted to even the score. You will have to always answer the door to home with a gun in one hand. What about your dog? Chances are he/she will be killed somehow to even that part of the score.
Yeah, take a breath, and really think that thought through about shooting someone’s dog. If you must to protect your dog and self, I get it, and would probably do it too. I carry pepper spray just so I don’t have to go there. The gun is a good backup though. One never knows what kind of person will encounter at any given time.
Thank you. This is the point I’ve been trying to make but it keeps falling on deaf ears. The issue is not the dog as much as it is about the owners taking the necessary precautions to not only protect others from their dogs but to also protect their dogs from others. There are a LOT of really mental people out there who are just miserable and like to make other people miserable too. They like to tease and provoke dogs when they think they are safe too. They are sick in the head much like the OP of these horrible threads.
you have really screwed the pooch here, your uncontrolled, triggered behavior of insults and bad mouthing people discussing the issue presents a very poor image of owners of these dogs.
you are trying to censor a discussion board and control through insults and intimidation those who disagree with you...you are acting like the dogs you are trying to defend..sad..you don’t even realize what you have done, kinda like a pit who just killed his owners baby..no thoughts of remorse or apologies, just waiting for the next opportunity for another uncontrolled attack...
You totally diminish the real horrors of what took place in Nazi Germany when you so callously throw around the word Nazi. My suggestion would be that you read the history of these atrocities so that you are not so unthinkingly offensive in the future. Just a suggestion.
Not around here. There are a wide variety of breeds and mixes; mostly mixed breeds. Might 5-10% Pit or Pit mixes.
Here's the thing. Some people should never have a dog. They don't care for them properly and they make the dogs mean by abusing/taunting them. They want a junk yard dog around their home. These people are complete idiots and should never be allowed to even be near a dog; let alone have one. You know the type; we all do.
The point here is the OP is on an obsessive compulsive Jihad to denigrate dogs in general and one breed mostly. She has a mental illness that only professional help can improve. Until she gets that help we are forced to see these hateful ugly threads about something everyone already knows about.
Would you like to read the same news over and over again day after day? That's exactly what this mentally ill person is doing here.
The shelters should put them down the minute they show up so that more retarded thugs are not breeding them.
Woman's warning to pit bull owners after "gentle" dog launched sudden vicious attack which cost her an ARM
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Yasmin Adam was left lying in a pool of blood after her pet savaged her flesh then chewed on her bone.
"He was so loving until he chewed my arm so bad it had to be amputated. He was such a loving dog.
lol..i threw the ccw in as bait and you jumped on it..retired law enforcement here with no bad marks or excessive force or “üncontrolled” incidents , despite ample provocation...i don’t need to take a deep breath, you do. i’ve seen dogs do nothing but sneeze when pepper sprayed..it just pisses them off.
and i don’t like cops who needlesly kill people’s dogs, i am a dog lover but there are some violent dogs just like some people who leave no choice in how to stop them.
seriously you need anger management help imo.
I normally have respect for the boys in blue but for you I’ll make an exception. You don’t deserve to ever have worn the uniform.
Okay. You're a Nazi. Happy?
your opinion is baseless and worthless...
relax, calm down ( maybe take your meds?) come back and read the drivel you wrote..and the concerned responses to you
can everyone but you be wrong?
Back at ya.
can everyone but you be wrong?
Yes. In this case on this issue; most definitely. Most people who are normal avoid these insidious hateful maligning threads. I'm simply not letting you haters off the hook without calling you on it.
With every post you prove my point. Like you said; take a chill pill and go find a Pit Bull to kiss on the lips. Trust me; it works wonders. For the most part they are smart, lovable, loyal, good fur people.
On second thought; maybe you shouldn't do that unless the dog is yours. Dogs can smell fear a mile away.
Valid question. In my humble opinion it doesn't necessarily take special skills to own and care for a Pit Bull over any other breed. The key is treating them right. I've already addressed how I prefer to not take my Staffie around other dogs and crowds. Not so much because of her, she's fine, but people and other dogs are the question mark. Even so; it takes two to tango.
I think it's also a valid point about pre-screening the homes and people where Pit Bull's go. The last thing we need is for them to go to a home where they will be abused or neglected then do something bad the first chance they get because they are trying to get attention or act out. Humans do this too as I'm sure you're well aware of when they don't get the attention they need. Especially young humans.
Should we ban all young humans because a small percentage of them act out and are bad? That's pretty much what the OP of these insidious hateful anti-dogs threads wants to do with Pit Bull's.
When I look into the loving eyes of my sweet and gentle Staffie I wonder what kind of hate pill the people in these terrible threads took to be so utterly and completely clueless about a breed they know nothing about other than some news reports about some that were provoked or were protecting something or someone. There's always causation in these events.
Whatever, government bans are retarded.
Boomers behavior on these threads is the best argument AGAINST pit bulls as any I’ve seen.
He doesn’t realize the damage he’s doing to his own cause with his own irrational, aggressive behavior.
Much like the dog he defends.
The price we pay to live in a free society include gun and car accidents, pool drownings, bathroom falls and dog mawlings. It’s a heavy price to pay but the alternative is much worse.
I truly hope that your daily attacks on pitbulls, to have them culled from society, will amount to zilch. I am hoping that there are too many free-living Americans that love pitbulls amd understand that banning them will not stop at just Pitbulls.
