The Worst Thing I Ever Saw On The Internet…

...and the wheels of justice finally grind over the utter scum responsible for it:

The family of a dad killed by XL Bully dogs in a horrific Staffordshire street attack have praised ‘hero’ passers-by who tried to save him.

Their pitifully ineffectual attempts, being both mostly elderly and unaccustomed to - not to mention unequipped for -  the kind of violence needed to deal with an animal attack of this nature, are seared on my mind. I wish I could unsee that short video clip that did the rounds on that day and yet in a way, I wish it was playing on every big screen in the land, so everyone can see what the lax legislation and enforcement regarding ownership of these fearome mutts can lead to.

James Harrison Trimble-Pettitt has now admitted of being the owner of two dogs which when dangerously out of control caused the death of Ian Price.

How did he ever think he could escape it?  

The 32-year-old had fought his culpability on the basis of the dogs escape ‘being due to a momentary lapse in concentration’. But he dropped that argument at trial held, at Stafford Crown Court on Tuesday (October 14).

A 'pet' that you have to exercise the kind of control I will have to exercise in my 'Jurassic World Evolution 3' PC game when it arrives so as not to have disaster unfold is not a 'pet' at all, and is utterly unsuitable for anyone to keep in a domestic setting. 

The police who turned up too late to help and did little beforehand when the mutts were a known menace in the neighbourhood escape any consequences, as usual, even being praised by the dead man's family, something as inexplicable to me as the fact that people are alloewed to keep these things in the first place.

Of the dogs involved in the attack, one died during the incident after being restrained, and another was destroyed via lethal injection by a vet inside the owner's home.

Both should have been gunned down in the street by the armed cops who attended the scene to parade uselessly up and down a cordon.. 

Trimble-Pettit will be sentenced on January 5.

He needs to be made an example of - he should see the same sentence as if he'd murdered Ian Price with a weapon - because that's exactly what he did.
