Driver says he did all he could during Florida school bus beating

[GandD 5,966]

People avoid pitbulls much more than beagles though you can find incidents of people bitten from both.

Ah, A wonderful example. Pit bulls are actually quite friendly when raised in a good environment.

I bet if the victim was black and the criminals white it would be a race issue to you

I agree. After it became public knowledge TM assaulted a bus driver in Florida they are probably scared.

No, because it was pointed out the reason for the attack was the victim told on one of the kids who was a drug dealer. If the roles were reversed it wouldn't change a thing.

Once again one of us does something so that means every single black person is the same way.

That is a dangerous assumption

I have close friend who has a PHD in animal behavioral psychology.

He will tell you quickly that the breed has unstable traits and there is no way he would own one.

He was called in to consult on the M Vick case, to determine which animals could be saved and which had to be put down.

And most pitbulls would never maul a 6 yr old to death.

Yet when we look at incidents of such horror there is a unmistakable trend.... which prompts people to avoid them especially around their kids.

No it does not mean you are all alike.

If the roles were reversed this would be a headline story on CBS tonight and the civil rights poverty pimps would be crowing and you know it

People will do what's best to protect their family. But it doesn't exactly root cause the original issue. Just solves it for the one moving.

No they wouldn't. If the youths were detained, you wouldn't hear a peep out of them.

The only time they come out is when something happens and nothing is done. Remember the Papa John's issue with the delivery guy? Folks were like where's Jesse and Al? Why would they get involved? The people who were involved were fired, and the boss called and offered an apology. They just want to be treated fairly. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

Exactly.... most people are becoming exasperated, they see no "progress" and they do things to avoid the situation.

They move,

They avoid public transportation.

They choose private schools

They avoid gatherings with large number of Blacks.

They feel guilty because they wish this wasn't the reality.

Yep. This is the reality of the US.

Some of the sweetest dogs I've ever known have been pit bulls.

There are traits in the breed that, when taken advantage of, can become dangerous. But a properly trained and cared for pit bull is a sweetheart.

It's a shame the breed gets such a bad reputation. It's humans and their disgusting behavior that has made pit bulls fill up humane societies across the country.

No one wants to adopt them because they're scared of them and because they have no idea what the previous owner has encouraged/forced the dog to do.

very friendly until they bite your face off

The first hint the bus is stopped is they say in the video that it started when the victim got up to get off the bus.

the second hint is the little green letters on the screen that say "0" mph

I would much prefer to go up against a couple of 55 year olds.

i didn't even notice the 0 mph until now. the video panned right & i followed. when i watched it the first time, it looked like he was trying to avoid the 1st punch. the bus being stopped makes the bus driver look more guilty for doing nothing because it was a white kid.

Hence the "good environment" part. Any dog can bite your face off.

Beagles require no special environment to produce a safe pet.

Dogs, regardless of breed, won't be a "safe pet" if they are neglected and abused and forced into violence.
