Follow Up to Dog Attack

September 11th, 2004 Greg Smith Comments off

Here’s a follow up to the dog attack that happened near my house and showed up on national TV.

A police report concerning the dog that apparently bit off a man’s genitals says that the man may have been using force against the animal. Rudolfo Ramirez, 25, might have been trying to forcibly open the pit bull’s mouth. The report also said Ramirez was wandering the neighborhood in only in boxer shorts. … “As soon as he hit the dog, the dog yelped and the guy got up,” Chacon remembers. “He was still alive but his inner thighs, genitalia, and lower stomach was all ripped away.” … The dog at the focus of the story remains at an animal shelter, as the search for its owner continues.

There was a point in which we thought the guy was sexually assaulting the dog.

Good Veterans Day To You

Informing the American People is the only way to put pressure on our government to ensure our troops are safe.
  • What a surprise. The US Administration "is deeply frustrated with its hand-picked council members because they have spent more time on their own political or economic interests than in planning for Iraq’s political future, especially selecting a committee to write a new constitution, the officials added." That’s OK becasue the people that picked them can’t do things right either.
  • The headline reads: "Rumsfeld retreats, disclaims earlier rhetoric. Rumsfeld denies he ever made several pre-war statements." He said the statements on national TV, only to deny that he ever said them. Don’t bother looking at the tapes, it was just your imagination. [Update:] Looks like now some members of congress want to get rid of him.
  • Meanwhile a lot of people who know a lot about what happens in the Governement are coming out to say that the reason we went to war was all made up."There was never a clear and present danger. There was never an imminent threat. Iraq – and we have very good intelligence on this – was never part of the picture of terrorism," says Mel Goodman, a veteran CIA analyst who now teaches at the National War College." Yikes!
  • Is it me or does anyone else find this suspicious: "A State Department employee was found dead outside the agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., Friday around 5 p.m., Fox News has confirmed." This guy "worked in a unit that dealt with intelligence and research".
  • Did you see the Jessica Lynch movie this weekend? It seems that the Administration is, at the very least, exaggerating it. So that it makes the Iraq "bad guys" look badder."Lynch says the circumstances of her rescue was dramatised and manipulated by the Pentagon. She was not rescued in a ‘blaze of gunfire’ as reported by Defence Department officials last April, but picked up from compliant Iraq doctors who had saved her life."
