Aunt and Uncle's Pit Bulls Savage to Death Their Nephew

  • It seems to be family week with the pit bull fatalities -- 3 deaths in a week
  • Parents gave the boy ice cream and then went in the bedroom to talk when they heard the screams

  • Notice how the journalist leads with the dogs being put down -- like that is somehow equal to the loss of a child's life  -- can you say True Colors (never thought I'd reference a Cyndi Lauper song)
  • Remember.  Pit Bulls are just misunderstood...
