When I was a kid we had a three-legged beagle dog. One day a neighbors expensive dog - a pointer of some variety - entered our property and attacked our dog.

Buddy wasn’t much to look at but he was a scrapper. Even though he was on a chain he kicked the interlopers ass.

The neighbor was aghast and filed a claim for damages. My dad dutifully contacted our insurance company who immediately paid the claim and then demanded a rider on our policy disclaiming any future responsibility for “One Three-Legged Beagle Dog”. It didn’t matter to the insurance company that we were completely in the right and the neighbor completely in the wrong.

The amount of money paid out by the network has no bearing on the culpability of Bill O’Reilly.

You drew a nice parallel there. (That beagle sounds awesome.)

We had a similar incident. A neighbor's pit bull: "Gotti" tore through a chain link fence to breed our, in heat, German Shepherd who happened to also be on a cable. All she did was give him love and bore him puppies but the neighbor was outraged that his foot got injured. I told her I was within my rights to shoot him and got hysterics in return.

But the next month was hilarious as he absolutely tore up three of those daffy duck umbrella collars. Finally, the husband cut out the bottom of a five gallon bucket and strapped that around his head to protect the stiches.
