The breed is only coincidental. It could have been a golden retriever </sarcasm>

“My son was burning rubbish and the dog started barking,” said David Broxon. “He came out and started petting it, just telling it to shush, and then started play fighting with it–but suddenly it turned on him.”

Obviously someone who thinks that a Pit is not dangerous.

Give him a Darwin award.

I don’t think there’s a dog that can kill me. I might have to endure a few bites for say 30 seconds but once I snap his leg in half.....it’s all over but the hymn singing. The key is to remain composed and focused. Then snap........down it goes. Then the crushing blows start. The dog goes to doggy hell.

I know. That’s what struck me. It’s auto-correct proof.

It's the genetics. Some breeds of dogs are violent and evil, just like some breeds of people.

I'm very sorry for this family; but truly, this man's actions are a candidate for the Darwin Award.

All unsocialized dogs are problematic. Pits are dangerous.

"GMP armed officers were deployed to attempt to control the dog and officers reviewed and actioned every available tactic to subdue the dog and bring it to safety. Due to the significant risk the dog posed to the members of the public, the dog was humanely destroyed," the Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.

Shoot the thing and don't worry about *humane*.

Not really because he had two children already.
