Thankfully I have signatures turned off.

It's truly sad that you'd try to give this lunatic any credibility. Sad.

I can't either. That's the part that just makes you shake your head and wonder, right?

Frankly it never occurred to me to call the news, and of course, all the mayhem happened after I was already at work in Midtown. I don't think it occurred to any of the other folks either--we all pretty much just wanted SOMEONE to come and handle the situation. And individually, none of us had all the other parts of the whole bigger picture. My neighbor whose dog was attacked didn't even know I had already called AC when she called. The whole thing just snowballed, and no one person had the big picture, except of course, AC, who got all the calls.

The old dog will hopefully be OK. She has a drain in for the wounds and is being carefully watched. And the thing I didn't add? I was the first of four people who called AC about this situation. Two of the others were the people attacked, and the other was my neighbor whose dog was attacked. They don't have a fenced yard, but when they take their dogs out to do their business IN THEIR OWN YARD, they stand out there with them. The dogs do their business, and go right back inside. The neighbor whose dog was attacked was of course out there when AC finally arrived. In the mean time, she had t

Trust me everyone...if that dog comes in my yard again, I will kill it. That decision was made when it took AC hours to get over here while meanwhile the dogs attacked two people and a sweet old dog. I'm done with it. And I don't blame the dog. I feel badly for the dog. But I won't be terrorized in my own yard, and my concern is for the kids and other animals around here. My grandson, who is three, is over almost every weekend. He was here yesterday when all of this was going on, but thankfully he was asleep and in no danger. I don't take any of this lightly, I assure you.

I would love to be wrong, and admittedly, I haven't spent hours looking into this, as you obviously have. Nonetheless, I stand by my comments about your motivations, and if you were the least bit honest about any of this, you would admit that you attributed this act to "right-wingers" with a bit of personal political glee.

Absolutely I have. For YEARS I have. And AC pretty much told my neighbor whose dog was attacked when they couldn't secure the second dog on their visit, "If you feel threatened by this dog IN YOUR OWN YARD, you are justified to do WHATEVER YOU FEEL IS NECESSARY to stop the dog's aggression." That says to me I may shoot said dog if I find it in my yard. I'd rather not do that and I have tried all I can to allow the opportunity to handle this properly, but if AC won't handle this dog, I have few choices. Are you really such an a$$, or do you just play one on pcom?

The headline doesn't really bother me so much--I know it doesn't define me. I think that's what I find most interesting about this thread, right? That anyone found it offensive? Why? The guy absolutely does NOT deserve any of the cunningly clever credit Pubby wishes to assign him. That is just idiotic and politically motivated. And in short, it's just plain STUPID. But hey Pubs, you excel at that, right? This guy was more closely associated ideologically to the terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center than he could ever be associated with folks Pubby poli

If no one else does, I appreciate your input. We here in the US tend to be so ethnocentric, and we can assign all kinds of motives and purposes to things we really have very little knowledge of. I will readily admit that I have no understanding of what regular everyday folks in Norway face every day. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for offering another perspective. "Other" perspectives are sorely missing here on pcom.

We agree again? CREEPY!! Except...I give the Pubster NO CREDIT for his assertions. He wants to and has tried to--since the title he used to begin this thread that lead to this whole multi-page discussion--tie ANYONE who has a less liberal mind set than he has (which isn't a hard thing to achieve--I suspect the mosquitoes in my yard have the same liberal thoughts--)to being radical idiots who would kill innocent children in order to make their political point. And that folks, is just a party-positioning nasty LIE.

I have posted on here before, a number of times, about my neighbors and the dog war. A short synopsis: We have a neighbor, close (across the cul-de-sac) but not right next door. They have a "bad dog." Yes, she is a Pit mix. They also now have a younger dog--a full pit--who seems really sweet and timid UNLESS she is in the company of the mix, who is, and has been officially "certified" as a "vicious dog." Some history-- This dog has trapped me in my yard and tried to bite me. This dog has BITTEN one of my kids, unprevoked. This dog has RIPPED APART one of my nei

You're talking reason to an unreasonable person. Anyone who would attempt to somehow "justify" mass murder because of "political philosophy" is spouting cr@p outside of reason. Is it just me, or is Pubby trying to somehow "justify" this maniac's actions because of his political philosophy, while at the same time trying (badly) to promote his own agenda by demonizing ANYONE who doesn't share it? The guy was a lunatic whose political ideology supported his fantasies. Trying to tie his deluded mind to ANY stream of reasonable thought--no matter how much you might disagree with it--pla

Twelve years ago I bought and moved into the home I currently live in and have poured my heart and soul into. It was a foreclosure on an FHA loan when I was fortunate enough to acquire it. The JERKS who lost it due to their INABILITY to pay their freaking low-cost mortgage payment made my dream of home ownership possible, and for that, I thank them endlessly. But get this straight, Mr. Bleeding Heart, I did NOTHING wrong to get into this home, and in fact, I did EVERYTHING right. You, sir, are a wart on the FACT that sometimes people make good things out of the crap hand they are

I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. I cannot imagine it. My heart hurts for you both. I hope that you have the hand of grace upon you as you navigate through this impossible time. You will be deeply in my thoughts. No one should ever have to live through this kind of pain, but it seems to me that you are prepared to face it and face it with dignity and so much love. Who would ask for more than that? I am so sorry. I cannot imagine.

You DO realize this has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand, RIGHT?

Wow. The guy was a lunatic on a bloodbath mission. Not unlike terrorists of any flavor. If he were to be compared to any group here, it seems like he most closely resembled Neo-Nazi white supremacists. Who, by the way, are radical right-wingers, right? I don't get this whole thread. But the words of Eleanor Roosevelt certainly come to mind: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." If the use of the term "right-wing" is disturbing to some...one has to wonder just which nerve it struck.

Thanks, sweetheart. That's the only reason I posted it... No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Today is a gift, and if James had anything to teach, that was it. Kiss your sweet baby from me please?

Obviously not to YOU, cupcake.

It's always rewarding if you're self-important. Right? Think about it.

You really do take yourself so seriously.

Unless you are prepared to cry. I warned you. I learned of this family through friends in Texas. Little James was diagnosed with brain cancer June 23rd. He died yesterday, just nine days after these photos were taken. He just turned 8 months old. Please remember his young parents and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Things like this should never happen. Jamsies photos
