This has a real history of ethically-challenged behavior. He’s a network systems engineer and, shall we say, he was given to creative use of company property.
He would be a good example of a sociopath (a person with sense or interest or sympathy in any one other than themselves).
I’d tell the boss about that story, if I trusted him to keep it on the QT, imo. If a guy will snap and kill a dog for barking, do you want to be around when he gets laid off or demoted?
Hi there.
As a fully authorised and duly appointed deputy of the human race, let me present you with this free coupon for a vasectomy.
Um… we’d rather you weren’t reproducing.
Nothing personal. Your genetic data does not fit our needs at this time.

Ok, now for a funny story about shooting and dogs. Instant karmic retribution. Now that is funny. I remember reading that in the Washington Post but I can’t search the archives because I am not a member.
Absolutely. Be afraid. Be very afraid. If I had to be around someone like that, I would defintely be armed ALL the time.
BTW, There’s no such thing as an unregistered pistol in Kentucky, or rather they’re all unregistered because Kentucky doesn’t register guns.
Someone should have called the police, but if this happened years ago I don’t know if it would accomplish anything now.
Although if he does have a criminal record, it might be illegal for him to have a gun at all. Hmm.
Too late!
BTW, how many dogs have you rescued from animal shelters?
Heh. Ya beat me to that little tidbit about handgun registration in Kentucky, Kalishnikov.
One cat-- how many do we need?
So if we don’t personally rescue all dogs from animal shelters, they should be shot instead.
Good work Clint. You have my vote.
By the way, I’ve rescued one dog from the streets and three cats from shelters, and I think your comment was crass at best.
Sorry, miniature hijack here…
RPG? (I know this as Role Playing Game).
Registered something Gun? sorry, not an acronym familiar to me.
Thanks in advance for enlightening me!!
The dogs destroyed by animal shelters don’t belong to anyone, at least not anyone who wants them. And when they are killed, its done in a humane way (not that shooting is always intrinsicly inhumane) that does not endanger either bystanders’ lives or gunowners’ rights.
I wouldn’t have a problem with ‘dognapping’ an animal in a case like this and taking it to a shelter, since that’s the first place a person would call if their dog was missing and they cared about it at all. It would give the owner a second chance to take care of it and do something about the barking.
I also wouldn’t have a problem with someone shooting their own dog if it was very ill, or vicious or something, provided they did it as humanely, safely, and discreetly as possible - and didn’t laugh and brag about it.
RPG = rocket propelled grenade
Well, I’ve written grants that have gotten about $25,000 dedicated to having animals spayed and neutered in our community. I’ve designed our shelter’s Web site, which has led to a significant increase in adoptions from our shelter. I’ve spoken to hundreds of children in classrooms about the need to spay and neuter animals. And I’ve got two cats in my house that I adopted from the shelter.
Am I, therefore, qualified to call you a shitbiscuit?
You may in real life be a sweetie. But in this thread, you come across like a bad case of diarrhea.

Rocket Propelled Grenade.
RPG- Rocket Propelled Grenade- a cheap light anti-tank weapon popular in many third world countries which have access to old Soviet Union military equipment. Not much use against modern tanks, but decent against APC’s, landing helo’s and barking Poodles (just kidding of course- RPGing a poodle is not a good idea, and is a violation of an amazing amount of different laws).
This is totally fucking sick. Not only did he shoot the dog, but he shot the dog in a neighborhood? It was garbage day? That tells me he could have missed his target and hit a person or God forbid a kid. I don’t care how early in the morning it was. I’d certainly turn his ass in!
Well, I hope you found some consolation in the thought of the many interesting blood parasites he undoubtedly picked up from his little display of machismo.
And Clint, speaking as someone who’s saved four dogs, three cats, and a variety of rodentia from animal shelters, I’m going to be execercising my duely earned right to call you a living skidmark on the tighty-whiteys of the human race.
It also qualifies you as my hero du jour, Daniel.
Oh, and I have three rescued cats and one rescued dog.
Killing an innocent animal (however annoying) because it is neglected and unattended is a vicious and criminal act.
I wondered how you were possibly going to make a dog-killing thread funny.
Now I don’t … you didn’t.
I can’t wish that someone kills one of your innocent pets.
I can only call you a Grade AAA, jumbo, ranch style and range fed, prime cut, hallmarked, top drawer, flight worthy, 14 Karat, Heinz 57 Varieties of pure uncut rectal cavity.
Sorry, posted too soon. Please refer to the criminal party with all of the above adjectives.
