In wake of Boston tragedy, a similar response rears its ugly head

Obviously today there was a horrible tragedy in Boston, Massachusetts involving numerous detonated bombs that went off during the yearly marathon. This killed people, injured countless others and was an all around cowardly act of terrorism from some section of the shadowy political stratosphere. What you see below was stated today by political commentator Erik Rush in response to news that a Saudi Arabian man was possibly arrested for this bombing. Now I have no idea if the Saudi guy had anything to do with this bomb, and even if he did, that isn’t even relevant in regards to the kind of flagrant comment that you will see below. And I’m personally not a Republican or a Democrat, so there is no partisanship going on on this website to blanketly target either side. I say all of this first because delving into national politics is so incredibly divisive and ultimately there are huge distractions around every corner. The goal is to avoid having the focus shift from this simple point in any way. All of that now aside, the below picture and the response by Mr. Rush is deadly relevant when talking about BSL/BDL and the kinds of vague and all-encompassing responses that Pit Bulls seem to garner from blatant hatemongers calling for their eradication by any means necessary…

^That’s 1.6 billion people that Mr. Rush is promoting that we kill in response to what happened at the Boston Marathon today. This kind of a response is no different than what Colleen Lynn of DogsBite.org has routinely stated in regards to Pit Bulls. Take any name (or fake name) solely known for this kind of sensationalistic demonization… The responses are plentiful and always the same: “Let’s kill all of the “Pit Bulls.” “Let’s get rid of them all.” “The only good Pit Bull is a dead Pit Bull.” “Let’s euthanize the Pit Bulls and their owners, too.” It goes on and on and on. Ugliness. Here it is. This is what it looks like in another realm. There is absolutely no difference between what Erik Rush said here in regard to Muslims, and what Colleen Lynn or Dawn James have consistently said about Pit Bulls. None. It’s vague hate, that is all.
