Remember that woman in rural LA county who was killed by a pack of dogs last week?

143. No I did not.

I started this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2828843 I hadn't included much text in that thread because I thought the photos should speak for themselves. The thread was hidden by a jury vote of 4-2, and the only person who gave a detailed reason for hiding it said,

"I've seen dog attacks on kids. They're often brutal and really disfigure the child. I can only assume that this post is part of a discussion AND that it would make better sense as part of that discussion. But there's no discussion to be seen. It's free-standing. It doesn't contribute to any discussion I can see. I'd almost certainly vote to let it stand if it were part of a discussion. As it is, I tend to think it's just for shock and to be offensive and insensitive."

So I reposted it in an existing pit bull thread started by, who else, baldguy, and I added additional text criticizing his use of the term "genocide" for breed-specific legislation of dogs. That post was also hidden, and the jury members gave three different reasons for doing so. I did not post the photos again.

However, this thread by baldguy was allowed to let stand, even though it contained graphic photos too. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2855854 So you can hardly blame me for having trouble figuring out what is and is not allowed around here.
