Yeah, I have no doubt that news channel edited the clip to show them in the best light. Can't say what the homeowner did was "right", but I can see why many would sympathize and understand.
Now, what if that'd been a cop?  |
The dogs would have been shot and she would have been arrested on the spot instead of later (she was arrested). |

In order to feel the mother's anger, you must be able to put yourself in her place for a moment. What we don't see on that clip is the persistent questioning. Don't think for a second that it wasn't edited.
Overboard? Not imo, should've wacked that reporter with a bat. FSA mom gets a standing ovation. |
If there was annoying, persistent questioning she should have acted like an adult and freely walked into her own house and locked the door. No need to sick your dogs on a reporter doing her job. What's wrong with you condoning sicking dogs on reporters AND throwing huge rocks at cameramen? |
If that reporter had been more polite, respectful and sensitive, she'd probably gotten off easier. I doubt the FSA mom sicked the dogs on her from the get go. Maybe not though. Point is, woman has probably been through a rough time, reporters don't get that. They want reactions. The more emotion the better. It's the news after all.
Maybe not though, maybe she was a little bit trashy, did you see that top she was wearing? How about that lame cameraman that didn't help the reporter, funny watching her run down the street w/dogs chasing her.  |
I'm unwilling to give her the benefit of the doubt as you are.
I know people who own pit bulls. Their dogs are very docile. It's all about the training. Clearly, she encouraged her dogs' to be aggressive as she raised them. People who do that tend to be aggressive themselves. |

Funny that you mention that because, I swear, this is what was going through my mind as I watched her zigzagging.

| I agree with some of the other posters; the clip was most likely edited, neglecting to show that the reporter probably had been badgering her a bit. Regardless though, the woman shouldn't have thrown a rock/sic'ed her dogs on the reporter. That's illegal. She should have told them to leave and 'no comment' (maybe she had already done that), and then went into the house and locked the door, maybe even called the police. Honestly though, sometimes people just don't feel like talking about traumatic things and when you're a reporter doing these kinds of stories you should at least possess some basic social tact. |

| "Release the Hounds!" should be used only in the case of demonstrations by animal rights activists. |
