An Ohio grandmother was mauled to death by her neighbor’s pit bulls — which were later found to have been high on cocaine, according to a lawsuit.

JoAnn Echelbarger, 73, was “peacefully gardening” in October when she was ripped apart by the pit bulls, Echo and Apollo, freely roaming her Ashton condominium’s common areas, according to court documents.

Her husband, Stanley — who suffers from dementia and was in a wheelchair — watched helplessly as his wife was mauled for several minutes while “screaming for her life,” according to the complaint, which said one dog continued the attack even after cops opened fire to try to stop them.

a Hookers & Blow story?

Pit bulls high on cocaine at a condo complex.

I guess the White House can be thankful Biden’s vicious dogs never got into the coke at the White House. They could have killed someone too.

I too really dislike that term...I find it repulsive as well.

I have cats, I love them and enjoy their company, but they aren’t “babies”.

I inwardly shudder when I hear someone use that term “fur babies”.

This gif is for then.

Gals who own “fur babies” are no better than childless cat women.

Yup. The social media posts by that idiot really disgusted me. He cared more about his stupid dogs than a human life.

[EvilCapitalist]

Hence the reason for my tagline.

[Responsibility2nd]

Love That.

 

[Responsibility2nd]

Your tag is correct.

People who own fur babies are likely to offer these condolences.

“I heard your mother died. You poor thing, I know what you must be feeling. I felt the same way when my poochie woochie died....”

I wonder if they've spent any time in detox. Ask DOGE.

Any dog that is capable of inflicting serious damage or death on a person requires constant training and supervision. An owner that allows a working dog to escape their premises should face at least 6 months in prison.

Should be open season on pit bulls they are of zero use bred to kill.

[LouAvul]

clearly the owners were trash

Anybody who uses cocaine is trash. As are all illicit drug users. Note: weed is an illicit drug.

I expect that the next time we see or hear about Biden, he will look like Captain Pike in the original Star Trek series, if he lives that long. What a stain of a human being.

I am glad we are done with him, but there are more out there like him who want to move up. Crockett comes to mind.

Define a pit bull. Most of these are not pure bred or registered. That leaves you with banning dogs that look ‘scary’ which isn’t much better than banning gugs that look scary.

Cocaine passes through the system in 2-3 days. This is a lie if they claimed it was weeks ago.

Had one roaming my neighborhood. I live between two schools only a block either way. No way was I going to igm=nore it and have some kid’s death on my conscience.

Anti-freeze hotdogs did the trick...

[packrat35]

I got 4 cats and I don’t call them fur babies either.

I call them furry bastards...
