So why didn't they tase this woman, again and again?

She's so afraid for the safety of her son that she locks HIM in the basement?  Not the dogs?  Or maybe she should have taken the kid with her?  Or gotten rid of the dogs? 

Of course the kid got out of the basement, she incarcerated him!  What if there was a fire?

This woman deserves jail time, and lots of it, and she won't get it.

Pit bulls should not be legal pets anywhere.

Chad shoots and..... he.... misses EE by about 8 forums



 

[ChadTower]

I don't get it...

EDIT:  oh, now I get it, I accidentally posted in Main.  My bad.

[Crazy Cooter]

This lady is a complete nutjob.

She says the dogs were never aggressive, but she had to lock her kid in the basement for his safety and the cops had to shoot one of the dogs to get in the house.  Now she wants the other one put to sleep...

Why didn't the kid ride with her?  Seems easier than locking him in the basement...

Pit bulls aren't necessarily bad dogs.  I've seen some aggressive ones, but I've seen far more "kick dogs" that were aggressive.  "Bad" dogs come from two places:
1) Bad owners.
2) Bad breeders.

Chad,

I think quarterback was referring to you posting this originally in the main forum, a mod moved it.

I have a pitbull and hes the most calm dog you have ever seen, saying pitbulls are all killer is like saying all blacks are robbers.

"It's Nicky's time to go," she said in the interview. "When you're born you're destined to go and this was his time."

WTF....... This doesn't sound like a grieving mother to me.......

This woman needs to be mauled to death by a pack of dogs......

What is wrong with people anymore?

We just had a mother last month in our surrounding area who locked her 8 year old kid in the trunk of her car while she went and worked a 16 hr shift at a nursing home.....

Here

Sadly the child died from heat exposure...........

I also saw somewhere that a mother gave her 6 and 12 Year old kids $5 to move out.....

It's getting to the point I can't turn on the news without hearing of a pathetic irresponsible parent.

  No kidding.  ChadTower probably thinks the same thing about wildebeasts, elephants and lions too.

Go figure.

The problem is that the good pitbulls do not make the news.....

[ChadTower]

Show me where I said that all pitbulls are killers.

[Dartful Dodger]

I want an elephant.

[tommy]

When you say pitbulls shouldn't be a legal pet, you're saying that because some pitbulls have killed, same difference.

you're still putting a tag on some as all.

It's sad that the poor kid got killed by his dog, no contest there, but the stereotype about these dogs is just not right, i can't even take my peacefull dog and find a new place to live because of the rep.

It all comes down to the training, if it dosen't know what is right and wrong only one person is to blame.

[screaming]

It should be noted that wildebeasts, elephants, and lions are not legal pets

  In the your state, but you didn't qualify your intial statement about pit bulls so why should I assume?

  Besides, I was being light hearted.

  Besides^2, I wonder what the ratio of pitbulls vs pitbulls that kill and humans vs humans that kill is?

[GGKoul]

The mom is a nut job... Anyone who say's the child was born to get eaten by a dog is a nut job...


"It's Nicky's time to go," she said in the interview. "When you're born you're destined to go and this was his time

[ChadTower]

It's also not legal to have humans as pets, another bad example.

When you say pitbulls shouldn't be a legal pet, you're saying that because some pitbulls have killed, same difference.

How does one argue with that sort of grammar/reading?

[tommy]

When all else fails make fun of the grammer, great tactic. 

[GGKoul]

I for one am happy pitbulls are now banned from being breed in Ontario and have to be muzzled in public from July 1st onwards.

[ChadTower]

When all else fails make fun of the grammer, great tactic.

[tommy]

Whats so hard to understand, you want all pitbulls to be banned as pets because some have killed.

[screaming]

  Are you ignoring my post on purpose because you like to just take a few words out of context and argue some random point, or do are you just reading too fast?

[ChadTower]

So you do understand my position.

[ChadTower]

[tommy]

So you do understand my position.

[ChadTower]

So make your own thread about it, and while you're at it, try to understand the difference between denying a pet license and killing a whole race (or breed, if I extend your stupid analogy enough to make it relevant).

[tommy]

I'm talking about your generalization about a few dogs and all dogs, why can't you undestand it? My comment about my nucle is like a few blacks killed my uncle so all blacks are bad,thats not true and not all pits should be banned, understand your stereotype?

I'm going by your words, how can you not understand them? I'm done here.

[missioncontrol]

Perhaps they shouldn't all and all out ban pitbulls as a pet but they should make rules of owning such an animal...

for instance make it mandatory for the owners to send their dog to get some sort of obedience training, require the owners carry some type of personal property damage insurance on these animals, perhaps a dangerous dog tax........

Because I haven't said what you say I said.  I did not say all pit bulls are bad, I did not even say any pit bulls are bad.  I said they should not be legal pets.  There are about 5 layers of abstraction between what I said and what you say I said.  See what I'm saying?

They have all been tried.  The people who own the dangerous ones, accurately stated by someone in this thread as the cause, are bad owners.  Bad owners don't follow the rules, same as they don't control/properly treat their dogs.

Realistically, all banning pit bulls as pets would do is increase the punishment for owning them.  That woman loved her dogs more than her child, and would have had them even if they weren't legal to have.  Making them illegal would give them leverage to put her ass in jail where it belongs.

A GOOD analogy here is to drunk driving... you can punish the drunk drivers all you want, but they keep driving drunk.  We can't ban driving outright, though, the way we could ban pit bulls as pets.

[tommy]

Tell me why they should not be legal pets and this nonsense will be all over?

[ChadTower]

I did state my position and the reasoning for it, several times.

I have ignored much of what you've said because it was offensive enough that I'm surprised this thread hasn't been sent to post hell.

[missioncontrol]

Tell me why they should not be legal pets and this nonsense will be all over?

just turn on the six o'clock news and see how often you hear of someone being mauled by one...........

[ChadTower]

On that note, I say we ban soccer balls.  I see what happens to that poor girl in your avatar, and it keeps happening over and over again!

[missioncontrol]

Bubble, basement, what's the difference?  I STILL have pants on, and that is the real problem.

You guys don't understand, what your saying is look at the news pits have killed so all are should be banned, thats what you saying, theres no other explaination for banning them. You can't put all in the same boat as some.

[missioncontrol]

also if we made these bubbles out of rubber that would end the taser issue as well..........

sure you can they are just animals big deal........

Do they have feelings when they maul their victims?

Do they show remorse?

How about letting the victims decide............

You don't seem to understand the real mechanics of licensing.
