The reactionary moral zealots don't need to justify their generalizations.
Do you sense the glee that these reports generate in some?
I count at least 9 posts so far comparing dogs to muslims.
That's the type of mentality exhibited on these threads.
Fanatic, emotional, ignorant, knee-jerking zealotry.
Where is the concern for deaths or injuries caused by other breed/types?
Who posted the thread about the 4 month old child killed the day before this incident?
Nobody!
While they posted their inane drivel on the 437 post thread
about a supposedly "sleeping" woman being attack
by two dogs chasing her JRT into the house...
Where was the thread about 16 month old killed two days previous?
Nowhere on FR!
Single issue, nanny-state solution suggesting, pseudo conservatives with no
exhibited concern for promoting personal accountability and responsibility.
All they got is 'ban 'em'. Useless as teats on a bull.

You hit the nail on the head.
Between the hysteria, untruths, personal attacks, gleeful postings of people saying that they'd shoot or poison a dog, and of course, the inane "dog of peace" smears, what argument do these folks have? None.
It's unreal that some supposed "conservatives" sound more shrill than DUers when the topic is pit bulls.
Fear, ignorance, and hysteria must be cherished companions for some. This whole debate reminds me of all of the other "should we ban it?" debates where something is demonized in an attmpt to ban it. "Evil" things like firearms, SUVs, and incandescent light bulbs.
My favorite anti pit bull argument is the one where the dog is portrayed as a ticking time bomb which can "snap" and rip your face off. You see, you don't even need facts anymore. You can just present some un-proven and unsupported assertion and run with it.
As far as the whole "ticking time bomb" load of BS, I can remember when the same lie was said of Vietnam Vets for crying out loud.
