I think I get the point-There is no such thing as a pit bull. ---

A cyclist once told a story of being pursued by a gaggle of barking neighborhood dogs when, up ahead, two chows emerged from a driveway, snarling. From behind, two of the pitbulls that had been in the gaggle shot ahead of the rider and took down the chows. Pitbulls have not been bred for attack as much as for dog fighting and are mostly dangerous to people if they have been trained that way. Chows, by contrast, seem to have a natural asshole gene. ---

No, that picture of “pit bulls” has one in it. It’s the DJ/Producer. And a reminder for all that we have a pit thread on pit bulls already. [It's always a fucking Pit Bull](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-always-a-fucking-pit-bull/760775) ---

I’ve _had_ shredded goat. It looked nothing like that. And I’m just a bit put off by the billy-us humor. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Not the way he might if it was a dachshund or chihuahua. It would be like dragging a Cabbage Patch Kid on a rope behind a pickup truck. As a dachshund “mom” I’ll agree with you about the chihuahua, but dachshunds are surprisingly strong and heavy for their size. Their low center of gravity helps, too. An adult could be pulled off their feet, if they weren’t paying attention. ---

The anti-gun March for Our Lives organization was holding rallies all over the country today. During a moment of silence in Washington, somebody jumped onto the stage and yelled “I have a gun”. People ran. ---

Actually, I doubt that person had a gun. My guess is that they were just trolling, which is why shooting them might not have bothered me that much. ---
