Is there any reason for name calling?<< Given the context the author used it in, it was likely appropriate: "pit bull sickos will blame the dead person". What do you call people who blame the dead victims of pitbull attacks??? The essence of civil debate would be to argue why the author's adjective might not be appropriate within the context used. Please, let's advance the civility of this debate. Rather than attacking the author of an adjective because you choose to be offended by the adjective, please argue what might be a more appropriate adjective. Thank you in advance for your concern and civility. LOL >>“pit bull sickos”? Is there any reason for name calling?<<

If it was, the mayor and or his dog would have been hospitalized or killed. This was 2 dogs who, by breed alone, did their job and scared an innocent person. Why weren't these dogs confiscated and held for rabies? They had no tags. This breed of dog will kill someone this year in Elgin and then pit bull sickos will blame the dead person, even if it is a child. This was not a pit bull attack.
