Macmillan, aged 61, of Camden Street, Walsall Wood, had received a caution for a similar offence in 2011 as her dog had bitten someone in the Devon and Cornwall police area.
But Mrs Crowe said despite the latest incident West Midlands Police had not requested the dog be put down.So, will they be liable for any further incidents? No. Of course not.
And why would they not request the destruction? Is the victim a responsible owner? Did she fully accept her responsibility?
Mrs Sheila Hicklin, defending, told the court: “She fully accepts what has happened. She is very sorry about what happened to the gentleman’s leg as a result. She got upset because he was shouting and swearing so much she became worried and went round the corner.”Ah. Right. I can understand how he might well have been a bit aggrieved and so a bit intimidating, but isn’t that something you just have to bear when your dog has savaged someone?
No! Because Victimhood Card in play!
The magistrates heard that Macmillan suffers from multiple sclerosis and severe arthritis and was unable to carry out unpaid work. She was ordered to pay Mr Hayes £800 in lost earnings, £200 for the injury and victims’ surcharge £60. There was no order for costs.So, we’ll be paying that, will we?
And how does this square with the ‘driving the disabled to penury’ charges laid against this government by disability activists? She can clearly afford not one but two dogs! And isn’t so disabled she can’t exercise them, either!
But Macmillan, who receives disability living allowance was given a 12-week curfew order to wear electronic tag with the condition that she must stay indoors between 7pm and 7am.Because..? Nope, I can't figure that out...

That disabled that she can walk two dogs, somehow I do not think she is that disabled with arthritis if she can walk two dogs.
Bunny: she has MS.
That's a very variable disease- dog walking on a good day, but unable to do anything much on a bad day, is entirely normal.
I have a an American pit bull terrier crossed with a staffy, a lovely natured dog as long as kids aren't kicking footballs around him.
Was in France recently, and heard about a dog which was attacking a child. The parent produced one of those hand held tasers, which give electric shocks, and used it on the dog. When the owner remonstrated with her, she used it on him! The outcome is not known but I would love to read about something similar in this country.

Maybe we can also reform the benefits system that means the financial system gets hundreds of billions of state benefit ?
Which, of course, it then shifts offshore (goes on holiday), fails to lend (which was the "reason" for the benefits being given) and goes on a derivatives and futures buying spree with.....and keeps handing-out the bonuses..yep. The benefits system(s) certainly need reforming.

You mean there are Taser that do NOT give electric shocks, a bit like.... a water pistol, maybe?
"...somehow I do not think she is that disabled with arthritis if she can walk two dogs."
It depends, as CJ Nerd points out, it can be a variable illness.
But that doesn't mean there are no jobs she can do.
"The parent produced one of those hand held tasers, which give electric shocks, and used it on the dog. When the owner remonstrated with her, she used it on him! "
Shocking! ;)
"Maybe we can also reform the benefits system that means the financial system gets hundreds of billions of state benefit ?"
Seems to me that Labour had the chance to do that. And didn't.
