Dog tosser gets the max

A california judge sentenced a man to 3 years in prison today for freaking out when a woman bumped into the back of his car on the freeway and taking her dog and tossing it into moving traffic where it was squished.

I dunno, only in California.
Naturally the dog was a cute little fluffy thing which only further outraged the populace. I doubt he would have gotten more than a littering fine if he had tossed Fred.

Seriously though, it is interesting how someone can get three years (I'm not saying it wasn't a really nasty thing to do and all) for pitching a dog under the wheel of a car.
Would he have gotten the same if it had been a pet chicken?

3 years is probably much longer than the life span for one of those annoying yap dogs. notice they don't occur in nature? stupid ill-adapted runts. talk about the perils of genetic engineering.

i wonder how much time this guy will get.

but no matter what the dog was, how fucked up can you be to experience road rage so powerful that you kill a dog?!

so what if they are inferior, if he didn't do this he might have killed someone, or something.

not that i care about some psycho tossing dogs, but how can you get that pissed off?

You'd think they'd COMMEND him for killing one of those fucking yap-dogs! Damn society to hell.

the only problem i found with this case was how out of proportion it got, and fast. there was a radio station that raised over 100,000 for information leading to that guy's arrest. at the same time, in another part of the city, there were two girls missing together, and the parents could only get the community to chip in for 50,000.

where the fuck are people's values?

Up here in Washington state we have a thing called Pasado's Law. It was named for a tame donkey named Pasado who would give neighborhood kids rides. One night a group of teens decided to beat him to death with a 2x4 while he was tied up to a tree. Pasado's Law is another name for felony animal abuse.

I agree with Morganna's comment, but also Fiend is right. Sick fucks who kill defenseless animals for fun, anger, or what have you should be put in prison for a long time.

It wouldn't be so bad if he'd thrown the other person into traffic instead.

Yipper dogs can't help that they're yipper dogs, and aerodynamic. Why take it out on them?

maybe the sentence seems to high , but face it , a guy who freaks out so badly that things get out of hand might even have killed the lady if only there was a gun in reach ... see from this point ..
i agree with morgana though that it is fucked up to chip in 100 000 while almost unotived there are people missing ... really ... we chip in to save a stupid old race horse from the slaughterhouse while people are starving all around the world. *shrug* modern society i guess ...

I remember this case well...I agree about the focus on the dog killing rather than the children to be sad and a sure sign of peoples strangeness, but..I think the asshole got what he deserved..Had it been a pet chicken? I think he should have got the same..A pet is a pet is a pet..We would surely want justice if she had been riding a horse and the man had shot it..This guy killed this old ladies baby..A dog or any other pet is a family member to most and cruelty to animals is against the law..Someones got to protect them....
