A Priest Lake man killed his neighbor's 2-pound miniature Yorkshire terrier by kicking it into the air like a football, police said, and authorities have charged him with animal cruelty.

Jelani Lewis and Jessica McKenzie say they are outraged at the death of their 17-year-old pet, Gizmo. Lewis said he watched helplessly early yesterday as three men assaulted the dog the way football players kick field goals.

And why does this jerkoff's middle name have to be the same as my first name.

So... I gather you actually believe that there might in some way be some *excuse* for punting this little dog?

That is simply amazing, and saddening. It takes a very small, very bitter person to think that way. Maybe it would be better if you just avoided threads like this. Your kneejerk reactions seem ill-considered and do not reflect well on you.

Unless... maybe driving people to anger is what you are trying to do.

Slowly and with much discomfort.

If innocent little dogs are constantly biting you, my guess is that you're not a nice person. In fact, I'm tempted to sic my flying squirrel on you.

LOL. I've often wondered why I never see him on the viking kitty threads.....

I have two tiny yorkies and I can say this. If that SOB hurt my pups, I would be in prison for murder. These dogs are lovable and have the sweetest, most comical temperments. Even my 6'4" hubby is completely smitten with them. That scumbag would be no longer be drawing breath..or if he did, it would be through a BADLY broken face. Grrrrrrr

There are people that are so paralyzed by fear of dogs that they think any dog near them must be attacking.

I have an aunt like that. She'll kick any dog within foot-reach, leashed or otherwise. Her fear of dogs is completely debilitating, and she is unable to function until she has attacked the dog.

I think that's what we have here.

Flea--I love it! You will always be entertained and totally loved by a yorkie. They are awesome dogs. If I didnt work out of the house, I would have way more than the two I do have.

I think you are right. Looks like some sort of mental illness.

I can't imagine even the biggest wuss in the world being afraid of a dog that small.

Lisa, meet Robert.

Robert...Lisa.

17 years old, too. Probably could barely walk and almost blind, as well.

My Lord!

Have you read all these posts calling for the death of the perp?

It's a dog for Crissakes!

How many of you people are Pro-Choice? "Okay to kill an unborn child but leave my damned Yorkie alone", huh?

Sorry to single you out....I just scanned down and well, you "won".

cheers

Not death. Just pain. Lots of pain.

Nashboro Village apartment complex, where dried blood puddles were still on the blacktop

Has Nashboro Village gone that far downhill? I remember when it first opened up. It was a posh apartment complex for executives built as a part of a golf course.

The turd has probably already killed one or more human beings and gotten away with it. Made him feel invincible, no doubt, but with this act he has exposed himself to intense scrutiny.

The cops will connect the dots on him quite soon, I have a feeling.
