In reply to the discussion: Pit bull bites off N.Y. 5-year-old's genitals [View all]LordGlenconner
(1,348 posts)Apparently, or rather, lack of reading comprehension skills. At NO POINT did I say that I didn't care that the kid's penis was bitten off. What I said was it DOESNT MATTER TO ME if the grandmother is charged at this point because it solves nothing.
Shall I draw you a picture?
And before you reach for the "what about murderers?" false equivalency I'd point out that we know next to nothing about this family. If the grandma is a neglectful, thug, or miscreant, or low life with a lengthy criminal past then perhaps charges are in order.
If grandma is someone who is sweet, kind, loving and otherwise law abiding citizen who happens to have made a really bad fucking choice when it comes to dog ownership, then I'm not sure she and the rest of the family should be forced to suffer any more than they have.
I don't know the answer to that, and I'd wager, neither do you.
Life is not always so black and white.
