tldr - Pit bull runs past a Yorkie, makes a U-turn and starts mauling. Both owners try to separate the dogs to no avail. Victim's owner tells the other that he's going to shoot the pit bull, pit bull's owner agrees - "Go ahead and shoot him". Pit bull is shot dead and the owner runs away.

ATLANTA The owner of a pit bull that attacked another dog and was shot on Wednesday is now facing charges.

According to a police report, the pit bull and its owner ran past where the other dog, a Yorkie named Bejan, was sitting with his owner on W. Peachtree St. and then doubled back and the pit bull attacked the Yorkie.

The owners of the two dogs tried separating them from one another, but could not get the pit bull off of the smaller dog.

Bejans owner told police that when he couldnt get the pit bull off of his dog, he told the pit bulls owner that he was going to shoot the dog.

Go ahead and shoot him, the pit bulls owner, identified as 40-year-old Jason Bowman, allegedly told Bejans owner, the police report reads.

The man told police he then shot the pit bull once and Bowman ran off. The pit bull died from its injuries.

Bejan was rushed to the animal hospital with severe injuries. There is no update on the Yorkies current condition.

Bowman has since been charged with violating county ordinances, including nuisance animals and running at large (dogs).

Police say he was issued a citation for those charges and was not arrested.

If it came down to it how would you defend your pet against a pit bull?

Pitbulls suck. Im honestly glad TC continues this gimmick because there is obviously a shit ton of material in regards to pitbull attacks.
It obviously shows pitbulls should not be treated like normal pets, and I personally believe that a special license and insurance should be needed to own one. They are such a liability as they continue maul and kill humans and other pets on a regular basis.

yeah i think the only way one would considering this "pestering" is if they just didn't like that pibbles were being attacked

i bet all these people and their dogs didn't like being attacked by pibbles

Maybe some nuance would be appreciated then someone who acts like a news bulletin but only talks about the same thing over and over again.

I think carrying a gun is an overreaction but on the other hand how else can they keep them safe?

Lots and lots of pit bulls walking their owners instead of the other way around these days.

Pitbulls are already banned in the UK, they are expanding on breeds now. I think I read the Bully XL is the next to go.

It's kinda tilting me honestly that pit bulls go around mauling people and dogs and the common reaction is to say "omg these topics are so annoying I hate them"

Like how do you think the people who are burying their pets or toddlers feel? Is this the kind of sympathy you have for all violence victims or are you only this casually callous when the perpetrator is a cute dog?

How dare you disparage God's chosen dog!

Anyways. I love dogs but I've almost been attacked by two pitbulls. The main one was, I was walking home from work. Not paying attention, then I noticed a unchained pitbull laying in this yard. It startled me and I jumped a bit. The pitbull, sensing weakness, hopped up and started walking me down. I backed up and the owner came out and got the dog right before it was looking like it was about to attack. Never had that issue with any other type of dog.

I've known some awesome pitbulls as well, and I think they are a badass animal, but if it quacks like a duck, call it what it is. A pitbull. Same thing with guns, not everyone can handle them.

Sorry but not sorry when the first 500 of these topics were filled with people who were supportive of breaking into peoples homes, killing their pets and then throwing the owners in jail even if the dog never bit anyone. You arent going to get me on a sympathy gotcha on this one.

never advocated for breaking into people's homes to kill their pets.

The literal worst thing pound garden ever said was that he wishes he could adopt pit bulls just to get them euthanized for which he was swiftly suspended for it.

I post a lot in these topics but I don't actually make any of them myself. Last pitbull topic I ever made was months ago and it was just a YouTube video of a pit bull getting BTFO by a wild buffalo.

Feel free to check the archive site.

TC might be a gimmick, but that doesn't mean these topics and stories are fake. These dogs are super strong and aggressive and seem to be able to just snap. These kind of dogs, and other dogs like that, need to be regulated because they're too much of a danger to other dogs and people. People getting upset over stories being shared sound very similar to gun owners who are hardcore anti gun control and blow off cases of neglectful gun ownership that leads to death.

Those users who said those awful things about rounding up pits and abusing/killing them don't have the greatest posting track records and pretty much everyone has condemned them for saying those things and other terrible things in general.

There was hardly any condemnation or outright none from the regulars of these topic. They gladly ignored it while continuing to post and repost the same meme pics. This is why these topics and regulars in them come off as unsympathetic even if they themselves didn't say they support killing peoples pets

Their response to the sentiment that owners should be held accountable for the actions of their dogs resulted in something like "blame the owner" being added to some bingo card or some shit. These people absolutely are disingenuous

The fact that a handful of people said some nasty things in a topic does not mean that the topic shouldn't exist.

Reminder that pitbull defenders have outright accused people who want them restricted/banned of being racists.

Some of us had pitbulls that were not like the mutts that you keep flapping your gums about.

I personally had a pit bull mix that was extraordinary for a dog and convinced my family he thought of himself as human. He even let my cousin (who was ten at the time) paint his nails.

Personally, I lump you with the miscreants on the Pokemon Boards whose only mode is "Pokemon sucks, LMAO!".

If you actually want a decent and actual discussion, be my guest. When you hyperfixate on one singular topic and bash everyone who disagrees with you, you aren't acting in a healthy manner and should be reprimanded.
