one for the books?
Whoa there. Hold on a minute. What the heck is it with this? Is it some kind of weird joke I just don’t get?
Another one of those articles I ran across while looking for something else.
Scrolling through past headlines at the Mail looking for an important story I managed to lose a day or two ago, I found this bizarre story with origins in the USA.
I do not recall seeing it here at BMEWS, nobody has mentioned it that I’ve seen, and so I stopped my search for the other to share this.
If anyone reading has an update, let us know. It’s 5am where I am and I plan on shutting down after this post.
Neighbor who shot dead pit bull mauling 11-year-old boy could face chargesDateline USA
By Daily Mail Reporter
A man who fatally shot a pit bull as it viciously attacked an 11-year-old boy with two other dogs could face charges for violating Washington D.C.’s gun laws.
The young boy, who has not been identified, was riding a new bike on his home street in the Brightwood neighbourhood on Sunday when he collided with a pack of unattended pit bulls.
The dogs immediately began attacking him, sinking their teeth into his arms, legs, stomach and chest, and leaving him in need of surgery.
A neighbour, who has also not been identified, witnessed the attack, ran into his home and grabbed his handgun to shoot at the dogs, the Washington Times reported.
A police officer who heard the gun shots raced to the scene and shot the other two dogs, stopping the attack, a police report noted.
While he may have saved the life of the boy - who later underwent surgery on his wounds - the man could face charges for firing his gun on a D.C. street, rather than on his personal property.
If authorities do charge the man, he could face up to a year behind bars and a $1,000 fine.
The man who had left his dogs unattended was cited for failing to leash his dogs and for ‘menacing people’ which could carry a total of just $175 in fines.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
