the fact that is was another pitbull killing a child. That isn't conjecture or click bait, it's fact.
I get that, but the article can be written and read two different ways.
This is similar to starting a thread, "Another terrible hot car claims the innocent life of a child due to warm temperatures."
As for the neighbors with dogs, Yes I would concerned, with several dog breeds. I'm not trying to argue that pit bulls cant be aggressive. Some of yall need to see the bigger picture. If my neighbor had aggressive dogs, I would take every step necessary to prevent them from entering my yard and exercise caution when my child is outside. At the end of the day, I can't do anything about my neighbor owning the dog. Now, if the dog is repeatedly barking, escaping or gnawing at the bottom of the fence, I'm going handle it legally. I'm not going to get on a message board and ask that an entire breed is wiped from the planet.

Dogs should be on a leash in public but if you are scared of a leashed pitbull, then don't got where leashed dogs are allowed or leave if you see one.

You go ahead and keep defending a dangerous breed... Until you have a family member torn to shreds by one. Then I'd imagine your ridiculous opinion of a certain type of animal will change, just like mine did.

Would you leave your 3 week old unattended with a pit?
It is literally impossible for a three week old to fire a gun. I'm not saying its a good idea but it's no near the same risk as leaving the baby alone with a pit bull.

Let us know the next time a car strolls up on his a kid all by its own cognition, throws the kid in the backseat, and locks the doors.

And a big arse truck is much more dangerous on the road relative to a camry but I'm not going to argue for trucks to be banned for the safety of us respectable sedan driving folk.
A pitbull on a leash CAN be dangerous, it can also be fine. A german shepherd, Rottweiler, American bulldog, bull terrier, malinois, Burmese mountain dog all CAN be dangerous on leashes.
How many of these "pitbull attack" stories are dogs out in public on leashes - the answer is not many. These dog breeds are dominant and protective, which shows itself primarily at their home where they are instinctively more protective.
To answer your question, go to a park which doesn't allow dogs and go across the street if you see someone walking a scary dog on the sidewalk.

I have not defended the breed except to say that it's ignorant to call for widespread extermination. Had you read my previous posts, you would see that I agree that they can be aggressive.
Some of you are so narrow minded and enjoy jumping on the OT narrative that ignores the fault of the parents.

On the contrary, I am one of the few people who can speak on this subject from personal family experience. You see, my great aunt was walking one day as she did every day for exercise , and though her kids always told her to avoid certain parts of the town they live in, she did not listen. 2 pitbulls jumped their fence and proceeded to maul her. She died in the hospital that night.
So please tell me how I am on the band wagon. Please tell me how my distrust of the whole breed is misplaced. Go on, because as we can all see here, you have the moral high ground and the rest of us don't know what we are talking about. Well, for once, you ran into a person who does know exactly what he is talking about.
The fricking cops had to shoot the dogs to get them off of her. Pepper spray? Nothing. Night Stick? Didn't phase them.
You see, by their nature, pits don't bite defensively. They bite to kill. A "bad" golden retriever will bite your leg and stop when you try to get away, because he just wants you to leave. He's scared of you too. Pits want to kill you. That is in their code. You can't train it out of them. You fricked with them and the price is death.
This little kid set them off and paid the price.
frick pitbulls and anyone who owns them or advocates for them.

Come on man. I'm sorry for your loss, but you're very one sided on this issue, and rightfully so. There is a compromise to those available to listen, however your mind, as well as many others, was made up well before opening this thread. This discussion is getting lost through text so I will agree to disagree.
