Oh, boy...
I'm not going to go into a whole big schpiel about the pitbull attack, because pretty much everybody on here knows how I feel about these particular dogs.
However, I'll say this: If somebody wants to own a dog like that s/he should at least have the common decency and courtesy of keeping that pitbull muzzled when they go out in public, so that the public won't be endanbered by the dog. There are enough problems around without these dogs running around free.
