The Fearmongering Power of Pit Bulls

Whittier, CA

Proof that it's a slow news day. Woman, Teen And Pit Bull Accused Of Shoplifting.

Seems a woman, Michelle Lynn Kuegler, and an unidentified teenage boy were arrested after walking into a pet store with a pit bull, and being accused of shoplifting by the manager.

In the midst of the alleged shoplifting spree, the teenage boy with the pit bull was confronted by the manager. The suspect threw a doggie ball at him and threatened him with bodily harm. The manager backed off as the trio made off with various merchandise, Zuhlke said.

A doggie ball. Yeah, there's a dangerous weapon. And this is a "shoplifting spree".

The pit bull (whose name was withheld) and a second juvenile were not arrested. The pit bull was reportedly cooperative at all times -- and it was determined the third member of the human trio was apparently not involved with the shoplifting, Zuhlke said.

Who wrote this news story? I want to know the name of the pit bull. It's important, dammit. What right do they have to withhold the dog's name? Fascism, I say! Fascism!

Apparently, pit bulls are news even when they're pleasant, well behaved and on a leash. Morons.
