And now for your Sunday reading pleasure...

Sometimes the courts just won’t be able to do enough to someone. An eye for an eye is too good for this asshole. Yes, I know it’s only a dog, but people who do this to animals will eventually do it to people.

I felt like weeping after reading this, and I ain’t no damn sissy! ::sniff::

That just takes it too far

I would take him back to that house as soon as he came to his senses to confront him with what he has done.
Then make him clean the house completely by licking up all the dog’s blood. Next make him pick up that poor dog and clean him with his tongue. Next make him dig a grave for the dog with his mouth and burry him with his nose.

In my opinion such a shock-therapy would suffice to cure him from his drug addiction for good.

Salaam. A

Definite bright spot.

I imagine just showing him the dog and what he has done would be enough, as he was drugged up he wouldnt have been himself and when he has seen what he has done he wouldnt be able to live with himself(if he was at all decent)

This is terrible. I hope they lock him up for a long time.

WOW.

I do not believe this individual can use drug abuse as a form of defence IE: Temporary insanity. I firmly believe although he may have been high on drugs, that he had some awareness of what he was doing.

How can you torture an animal or I should say lifeform (as in this instance I don’t think there’s any distinction to be made between human or animal) for two hours, and not remember your actions?

I’m utterly disgusted, and this individual should face charges more severe than those he currently faces. Another thing that concerns me is the police who were held at bay outside this house for hours. They could actually hear this dog yelping and did not enter the domicile because they were scared he had a gun? Is that what I’m to understand?

So they have the homeowner outside who’d luckily enough escaped. They knew this individual was inside the home with this animal and they had some brief idea as to his mental state, and they just sat back and allowed him to abuse this animal for fear he had a gun? Where was the swat team? Why did armed officers simply force entry? The time they took to wait and hope to end this stand off peacebly caused this animal to suffer a horrific end to it’s life. And we’re all ok with this? It seems to me that justice should be swifter and surer than this, although I say that with some amount of trepidation.

Logic.

Its a terrible thing no matter what

but Id rather it was an animal than a human

How awful…

I feel for the woman. I don’t think she could have saved the poor doggy. :frowning:
"The time they took to wait and hope to end this stand off peacebly caused this animal to suffer a horrific end to it’s life. And we’re all ok with this? "

I don’t think anyone is. But, I don’t know if a SWAT team was feasible and no one wants to chance getting shot.

I couldn’t finish reading the article. What about drug charges? They should lock him away. What I can’t stand is hearing the defence, ‘It’s not my fault, I was on drugs.’ ‘It’s not my fault, I ate too many twinkies.’ Yes it is your fault. You were of sound mind before you took the drugs, you decided t take the drugs, so you take responsibility for everything that happens after you take the drugs. You may substitute ‘twinkie’ were appropriate.

hah thats priceless

I second what GreenFeather said. He was of sound mind and body to decide to take whichever drugs of his choice, he’s therefore responsible for his behaviour due to his decision to take whichever drugs caused whichever actions of his that broke any laws or caused any individuals to come to harm. Quid pro quo.

Logic.

I don’t know if they could apply drug charges to him, since the drug he was taking is found in over the counter cough syrup. Guess all the anti-drug ads are right, ain’t they? You buy drugs, you give money to terrorists. :rolleyes:

It’s not often that I stop reading in lieu of finding out as much as is reasonably possible.

After about ten lines of text I’d seen enough.

Sometimes it’s very hard to be pacifist.

I am keenly interested in finding out what becomes of the individuals involved (both the woman who fleed and the man who … ugh). I daresay I won’t be surprised if she ends up having nightmares for some months.

I should probably end this post before I say something about the genetic code of this penis-bearing individual that I might regret.

Recreational cough syrup? I followed your link, read the pages, and I’m stunned. I had no idea. I can’t think of anything else to say. I’m stunned.

You’ll be even more stunned, then, to know that I knew people who were doing this kind of thing (well “Robotripping” as it was called, not carving up animals) when I was in high school, nearly 20 years ago.

I couldn’t bring myself to read the article this morning at breakfast. I saw the headline and that was enough to cause me a sickening feeling. Our paper can be quite graphic, and I didn’t want to have the details of it haunting me for the rest of day. Then I see this thread. I clicked the link and saw it was indeed the same horrible story. I still couldn’t read the details. I just grazed over it. Goddamnit. What a horrible story.

Yeah, at times our paper borders on the tabloid, and this is one of them. Further in the article it reveals that the poor mutt was an animal shelter dog, rescued by this woman. Then it meets such a horrific end at the hands of a sadistic motherfucker of the sort from which it probably originally escaped.

Ah crap, I’m choking up again…

It’s horrible, what that guy did to that dog, but all I can think is, “Thank God it’s owner got out of the house.”
