🤔 Woman shot by misunderstood youth after running over dog with vehicle in Ohio

[RockIsland]

Maybe I missed something in the story, but why are we being so flippant about a woman being shot by a 14 y/o for running over a dog? It sucks she ran over the dog, but we don't know if it was out of inattention and negligence or if the dog simply ran out in front of her. Even if the former, you shouldn't expect to be shot for it.

Seems we're getting pretty callous and blasé about the propensity for violent reactions to common interactions in the streets these days...fender-benders, etc. She could have been a loved one of any of us.

Maybe it ate her chicken.

Agreed. Dogs are not humans. I used to love dogs… couldn’t care less about them now.

I have a plan to put down every dog I see… especially if my kids are around.

Damn!

Where we also live, dogs have become even more of a “standard accessory” than here… it’s sad, but most are not well trained and their owners of course believe they’re perfect little pooches - no need to obey the leash laws.

So many have charged at our daughters, that they went from liking them to fearing them.

But…. Closer back to the topic, it’s so messed up that some worthless little punk would harm a woman (by shooting her, no less!) over an accident. It’s just a dumb dog….

You're posts seem to get more and more peculiar .

Agreed. Dogs, deer, cats and even humans have the propensity to pop out in front of cars. Why was the dog in the street? Shoot the owner that allowed the dog to be loose.
It's exactly why I tell people not to stop if they hit an animal by accident, too many nutjobs.

They ran over someone's dog because they weren't paying attention. The stupid kid definitely shouldn't have shot anyone, but I can't say I have any sympathy for the lady either. Idiot shoots idiot.

If she ran over a dog in someone*s yard you are correct. If the dog was in the road you are wrong.

Watched John Wick #1 last night. It's not good to kill one's dog.

Instant death penalty.
