Most Disturbing Posts

You must be a woman. Life is a risk. People today are safer than ever before, with perhaps the exception of the risk of violent crime in this post 1960s world.

If, with knowledge of this fact, you still feel disturbed you need to step back and tell yourself it's all in your head.

If Benzapp has so little concern for what happens to people in his own community, perhaps he should not be spending his precious free time reading a neighborhood message board. That "you must be a woman" remark is pretty troll-ish and as such, its poster loses the right to be taken seriously.

Anyhow, there was a post from Jordan's (the baby scalded at Starbucks) parents on PSP a couple weeks ago. He was home from the hospital but had severe burns on his face and elsewhere. It sounded like he was out of danger but rehabilitation is going to be a long and difficult process.

I would also really like to know if the owner of the pit bull that killed another dog has been identified. If it is true that that's the second attack, then the dog should be destroyed and the police officers, in any case, were negligent in letting the dog go. I once saw a pit bull attack a horse in Prospect park a few years ago, and the police confiscated the dog as its owner (a kid) was trying to run with it out of the park. The laws regarding animal-to-animal attacks have been strengthened since then, so I would really like to know more about the reasoning of the officers called to the scene of last week's attack.
