So you duck the question a second time. If your dog got out and someone shot it, that would be ok with you? Just answer the question and stop trying to turn it around on us.

No, you just answer the question because it IS on "you". Are you "ok" with people making death threats against this man and saying they're going to shoot his dog and hang it from a pole in his yard?

THAT is my issue with this whole thing - the complete hysteria and violent threats of this mob. The right or wrong of the guy who shot the dog isn't even a factor for me now that the villagers have gathered their torches.

What really passes me off is if this dog mauled a kid in somebody's yard everybody would be batching that nobody did anything about it, even though they saw the dog wandering free..

Exactly.

What's not mentioned is there have been HUge problems down in Ridge with Pit Bulls running loose. Just last year there was a pack of "feral" dogs running in Ridge to the point people were carrying guns when they went outside or went for a walk.. several people lost their beloved pets in their yard to these dogs. Animal Control was called, and they tried, but no relief.. they could not put the manpower or the assets down here to fix it.. locals took care of the problem themselves. That's how it's supposed to work, independent of government interference..

Lastly if you own a Pit, or a Rot you have to understand the reputation that goes with them and the fear most will have if they see one in their yard. If you can't secure your dog the death of the dog should be on the owner NOT the person who shot it

Unless you live down here and know the recent history of the "feral" dog packs.. you really shouldn't comment about how right or wrong he is... or how he should have called in the government to help. It was already determined the government was no help at all..


Ridge Runner should have known better than post it on the internet..

And that means the dog has gotten loose before, so this is an ongoing problem with these people who won't control their dog and just let it run wild.

What really passes me off is if this dog mauled a kid in somebody's yard everybody would be batching that nobody did anything about it, even though they saw the dog wandering free..

Oh look. Voices of reason and common sense.

We really need that like button!

Here is Lost and Found's FB post:

These people are disturbing and you can see how things are being made up as the mouth breathing gets heavier - "somebody told me..." "I heard..." Now they've collectively decided that he lured the dog onto his property with food. They've decided that because he shot that dog, he will also kill humans. They've decided they know, from a photo, that the dog was running away and going home when he was shot. The OP is reposting the dead dog pics, including pics of the man's house. There are a number of threats, from beating him up to killing him. There are a couple of voices of reason in there, then the mob turns against them.

I've reported it to FB and sent a copy to the Sheriff's Dept. At the very least the original poster should be charged with organizing and encouraging a violent mob. That thread is one of the more irresponsible things I've seen.

You all are dangerous when you become a mindless mob and that is why I fear and loathe you.

Looks like quite a few profiles have been disabled by someone.

That frickin thread gave me a headache. The literacy in SOMD is scary!

Agreed, and I haven't read that many of the comments yet. Painful !

There is a difference between your dog getting loose and someone deciding to carry a gun because your dog is a regular problem on their property.

Just picked up on this thread, wow.... It would have been awesome if his picture was after he had field dressed and skinned it.

My father shot an killed a big black dog that chased my friend and I all the way home trying to bite us. Previously on another occassion he bit my friend who had to go to the ER to have the wound cleaned etc.

So.......... my father shot the dog. :shrug:

There are some differences between this story and my story. My father is now dead along with the dog, and we didn't have facebook 30 years ago where he could post the pics!!!

I'm just glad this happened in Ridge and not my neighborhood, because I don't own a gun to shoot the dog and I'm not stupid enough to post the pics of it.

 

[pebbles]

That he was living there is not in dispute.

How do you know it's not his property? Do you know him?

I do know him. His reputation proceeds him. As others have said, it is NOT his property.

So there's the question:

Had this dog been hit by a car while running loose, would the driver be to blame? Or would you blame the owners for letting the dog run?

That would be called an accident. He did not accidentally shoot this dog & accidentally post the picture.

All of those people who live in Ridge, who grew up in Ridge, and who call Ridge home must all be horrid people.

Ridge must be like old time Australia....where the nation, or Maryland, at least.....sends their most unsavory people who murder, cheat and steal amongst themselves trying to obliterate each other, along with their animals.

It's a good thing I no longer live in Ridge, because I just might be a little offended by that horrible generalization.

You are still close enough to be considered Ridge to most "outsiders"

The description of Ridge reminded me of places in Florida when I lived there many years ago. Tight knit communities; many with multi generations of families where things happened and nobody knew nothing. I didn't say it to offend you or anyone else and I apologize if I have. As someone that is not native to this area, my impression is that Ridge is not a place for someone to go and act like a fool.

A lot of "Ridge-runners" have that mentality. My family is from Ridge, I did not get offended because that is how I took your comment. But a lot of people think Ridge is where everyone is a redneck backwoods person....not so.

From the posts on facebook, he intended to kill this dog so I feel it was premeditated. I don't personally KNOW the dog but have family members that did. According to them, the dog wasn't aggressive. Whether or not the dog charged him, it was wrong to post that picture & brag about it. JMO

Who was it that said if we say 'it' enough 'it' becomes truth? Sounds like he shot the dog because someone from Animal Control told him it was his right to shoot it if he felt that he was being threatened. So... conveniently...he made 'it' true.

Do his actions show what an illiterate, mean spirited, spiteful, nasty, chicken$hit person he is for choosing to post it to facebook - since he didn't have the b@lls to go over to the house where the dog lived to address the situation directly or ask Animal Control to humanely trap the dog? YUP YOU BETCHA...

Is the act of shooting the dog illegal? Probably not, however, depending on how close to a residence or business he was when he discharged the gun - now THAT action could definately be considered illegal.

Had the owner kept the dog confined he would still be alive - I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the pup's owner. The poor little guy never had a chance - having owners who didn't know how or chose not to properly care for him (or to choose a caregiver appropriately) in the year that they owned him AND for having an A$$hole for a neighbor. Very sad indeed.

Dogs get loose sometimes.... Doesn't mean they are an open target when they do.

Of course not -I've been there myself.
This doesn't appear to be an isolated incident where the dog got loose once and the nutb@ll grabbed his gun.

Let me guess.... Hearsay?

The dog had recently begun to be able to escape - so his owner - that very day - had gotten a run for him. By the time she got home, her daughter's dog was dead. Was it illegal for Kenny to shoot the dog? I don't know. Kenny is on probation so probably a gun violation for that. The dog obviously was not in his own yard. But, the previous night Kenny threatened that he was going to kill the dog the next day on FB (coward) and after he killed it (shooting towards 2 residences, one a daycare) and posted the pics claimed it 'charged him'. Which is interesting to me, as the dog was clearly headed AWAY, going towards his home. The hedge in the picture of the dog laying dead in the yard shows the dog running away from the area Kenny claimed was being threatened. Also, interesting - he had time to go in and get and load the gun, but not time to call anyone. Or just stay put till the dog outside went home. Another interesting thought -- who took the pic of Kenny holding the dead dog like a damn trophy???
