IRS employee Ruth Seidman, was frightened by the animals, even though they didn't run toward her, prosecutors said. So where is the crime?

unleashing a pitbull on someone should get a attempted murder charge.

IRS agents are armed. IRS employees are not. Careful for what you are wishing.

unleashing a pitbull on someone should get a attempted murder charge.Is this fedgov speak? This clearly implies she set the dogs upon the federal tax collector.
Yet further down the article it states, "They didn't run toward her, prosecutors said."
Which is it?
What crime was committed?

Interesting...You come in her suggesting murder charges against the tax payer, yet you can’t even answer the question as to what crime was committed, and then you implied the tax payer “set the dogs on the tax collector” when even the prosecutor denied this occurred.

How’s those taxes coming along this year my friend?Just fine. As a law abiding citizen, I pay taxes through the nose so all of the miscreants and illegal alien welfare recipients can get their fare share of free services.

What? Just probation. What an outrageously light sentence! I would have fined her too. 75 cents. (Well, actually a dollar, but she gets to withhold 25 cents.)

I find it hard to sympathize with IRS agents, myself.

I’m scratching my head too on this one. Is it a crime for your dog to scare someone? My dog scares people everyday. He doesn’t even have to bark or growl.

Well, remember that there are citizens, and then there are federal agents. The laws that apply to one set of people don’t at all necessarily apply to the other.

"unleashing a pitbull on someone should get a attempted murder charge.
Except for IRS agents."
In which case they should be given a medal.

I’m scratching my head too on this one. Is it a crime for your dog to scare someone? My dog scares people everyday. Yeah, and it states the woman pleaded guilty in January to one misdemeanor count of assaulting a federal officer.
Yet the prosecutor stated the dogs didn't even run towards the tax collector.
How's this work? Me thinks this woman should have fought this charge, but then again, she was probable threatened by the IRS enough times into just complying.
