U.S. Army vets convicted
187th District Court Judge Joey Contreras, of San Antonio, Texas, on January 31, 2018 refused to release Alphonso McCloud, 28, on bond pending appeal of a four-year prison sentence Contreras rendered on January 22, 2018 for McCloud’s role in a pit bull attack that cost neighbor Doris Mixon Smith, 73, her left arm and caused her to suffer facial disfigurement.
The pit bull had previously menaced several other people, according to trial testimony, actually biting at least one of them.

Cue the apologists!
This article references multiple stories. Necessary to scroll down.
Nope.
Lock his scurvy ass up a LONG time.
When the owners have to start paying the price for bad dog behavior, bad dog behavior will dramatically decrease.
Very well.

Post: Pit bull behavior: 3 distinctions
This may explain some of the apologist behavior. . . lots of criminals here . . .
Generally speaking, the sort of person who wants to own a vicious breed is not the sort who uses dogs responsibly, or even (what is more frightening) has any regard for his own life or freedom.
Do any Pit Bull owners have a full set of teeth?
Pits can be aggressive when not properly trained. That is the owners responsibility. If the owner fails they should go to jail
Ditto
The only good pit bull is a dead pit bull.
I’ve seen dozens of pit bull owners over the years, and they were all criminals—mostly drug pushers avoided by police and judges who are afraid of them. They preach about their dogs as though the dogs are deities. It’s like a strange religion for them.
Exterminate the bad breeds. Animals do not have constitutional rights. Bad dogs are not like firearms. The comparisons between the two are retarded. We’ve only seen fallacious arguments from the pit bull religionists.
“Pits can be aggressive when not properly trained. That is the owners responsibility. If the owner fails they should go to jail”
I am sorry, but every story I read about these dogs say “He was so nice, until he ate the baby.” I have yet to hear a story of how a Pit-bull ever bit someone that needed to be bit. The dog pounds are full of these dogs.
Raises d and trained by people who used them for fighting
The people saying the pit was nice are the owners....who didn’t train the dog in the first place
Trying to raise a pit bull to be gentle is futile. They were bred for aggression. No matter how gentle they may seem, they can snap (literally) at any time.
It’s always unleashed unsecured pit bulls who kill and maim. This seems to indicate many of the pit owners are just plain stupid.
“Pits can be aggressive when not properly trained.”
Smart people look at Pit Bulls like an AK47.
If it just sitting in the corner it’s like any other decoration.
The problem is that when they go off, they do enormous damage.
If a Beagle bites your kid because he walked across his lawn, you go to the neighbor and complain...work it out. If a Pit does the same, you go to the hospital and hope he survives.
And Pit Bulls send people to the hospital more than any other dog, nearly as much as all other breeds combined.
Not all of them bite people, but those who do are natural born killers. And you’re never, ever, sure yours won’t.
The dogs had menaced many people who lived in the building along with Knoller and Noel, and it was obvious that Knoller couldn't control either of them, particularly Bane, the male.
During the police investigation of the death, Knoller claimed that the victim's was wearing perfume that set off the dogs, and then claimed that the victim was having her period, and this set off the male dog.
The two of them maintained throughout that the dogs were well-behaved, and that they never threatened anyone, or were a danger to anyone.
It came out during the investigation that they were raising the dogs for their adopted "son," a member of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, who was serving multiple life sentences at Pelican Bay at the time; this was part of a money making scheme in which the AB was raising the dogs for sale to the operators of meth labs.
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:28-29)
Ox are work animals, not pets, and while they could kill handlers, I do not think they have the aggressive killer instinct that seems characteristic of like pit bulls. >
The principal of the law here is that of preventing death by dealing with an aggressive service animal, and the owner who does not act responsibly , and would apply to those who deliberately choose a aggressive breed of dog and place such among vulnerable persons.
The objection to banning them from homes is that some put bulls are not aggressive or "snap" into an unwarranted attack mode, and or that it is the owners fault when dogs become like that. The problem is determining whether a particular animal of an aggressive breed is an exception to the rule, and whether a particular owner of an aggressive breed is an exception to what seems to be the general rule, and whether allowing exceptions to a ban is worth the risk.
As for me, golden retrievers are my favorite, but i do believe the right owner can bring even the most aggressive dog into obedience.
Quite a link:
How can we explain this? Do we chalk it up, as the pit bull promoters would have us do, to a problem exclusively of "bad owners"? How then do we explain so many kindly, loving pit bull owners like Darla Napora who have been suddenly betrayed and mauled by their well-treated and well-behaved pit bulls? http://17barks.blogspot.com/2013/01/pit-bull-behavior-3-distinctions.html
