People love their animals, but this is perhaps a bit overboard in defensiveness. Presumably these dudes had some previous, or the dog owner is just insane:

Barking dogs reportedly sparked a fight that resulted in a man shooting five rounds at his neighbor Aug. 17. According to police, the altercation started when David George Keats, 73, let his three dogs out at his home on Atlas, in the Maple and Dequindre area, just after 9 p.m. Keats’ 52-year-old neighbor reportedly yelled at Keats’ dogs and kicked the fence in an attempt to quiet their barking. Police said Keats ran toward the victim, yelled, “don’t tell my dogs to shut up” and fired a gun. One round struck the victim in the face, according to reports. The man ran away as Keats reportedly fired four more rounds at him, police said. The condition of the victim was not known at press time. When police arrived on the scene witnesses pointed out the shooter, who sat on his porch with the gun behind him, unloaded, police said. Officers arrested Keats without incident. Keats was arraigned on assault with attempt to murder and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He appeared without an attorney. He was released on $1 million personal bond. The preliminary exam is set for Aug. 27.

Damn psychos.

Mentally fucking retards with guns...

Too easy to buy guns.

Perhaps?

[Izick]

Somebody had to say it.

EDIT: Also, I'm not saying that there needs to be gun control per-se, just make sure it's not as easy as "does he have the money to buy the gun." I know there are usually screening processes, so just make that a bit more stringent.

[yn-neko hates a cat]

It looks like this story has went to the the dogs.

[massoluk]

Dude has $1 million in cash just sitting around in case he shoot his neighbor screaming at his dogs?

[DMB4237]

No worries guys. The neighbor was infringing on his freedoms to have really loud dogs so the guy was pretty much obligated to shoot him.

Thou shall have barking ass dogs.

Comedic understatement, which apparently doesn't come through so well in print.

that was my first thought too, lol

I'd venture to say pretty bad.

[The Technomancer]

The neighbor kicked the fence man, that was like, an assault on his property. Anyone who touches your property is fair game.

[winter]

Too easy to buy guns.

But if you take away easy access to guns, how will we stop the samurai from attacking our dairy queens?

[mackattk]

He shouldn't have kicked the fence, but I can feel his pain. Barking dogs can be infuriating sometimes, and the dog owner should have apologized instead of shooting his neighbor.

[Borgnine]

Ban dogs.

[yn-neko hates a cat]

In all seriousness, is the perp a GAFfer because way to many times have I heard GAFfers say they'll kill a person for their dog.

[zomaha]

Ban dogs.

I don't know dude, I think the fence played a bigger role in this than anything. I say get rid of all fences.

[Izick]

Ban dogs.

I say get rid of all fences.

Here we go.

[R2D4]

Ban dogs.

Ban stupid people. All problems solved.

Great roast? Or greatest roast?

[massoluk]

I don't know. I say ban gun, let them have the knives.

[nateeasy]

I thought he physically shot the dog's mouth off for a minute.

[Steelrain]

Probably a gaffer from on of the pet threads.

[JaggedSac]

Why is the $1 million bail not being discussed? Could be due to not understanding how bails work, but don't you need to pay that up front in order to not be held in jail until the trial?

[Borgnine]

You use a bail bondsman who puts up the money for a fee, usually 10% of the bail. The bondsman gets the money back when you appear in court. If you flee, they send Dog to taze you in to submission.

[K.Sabot]

Hope the man rots in prison, which he probably will.

[anaron]

Probably a gaffer from on of the pet threads.

I'm not really seeing a correlation between being an animal lover and a pet owner who fucking fires off rounds over A KICKED FENCE.

[marrec]

Thank God someone there had a gun, that dog might've got his feelings hurt.

[StriKeVillain]

Bumpus hounds come to life.

[TUSR]

Fun fact: Dogs cannot understand most of the English language.

[SwiftSketcher]

I don't know how screening for gun ownership works, but isn't there a questionare section for the applicant? Like, "If your neighbor sneezes in your direction, would you A)Shoot them B)Not shoot them"

I feel like it would catch a lot of the crazies early on.

[weekend_warrior]

Holy shit, he posted a $1,000,000 bond?

You are joking right?

[equap]

nope, don't think she is.

[params7]

The gun laws are cool, makes things fair for all.

[EdibleExplosives]

He shot him in the face and continued to shoot 4 more times? Yeah, he sounds like a perfectly sane member of society.

[SUPREME1]

You are joking right?

Really?

[Lamel]

Really?

well you WERE joking.

[commedieu]

Holy shit, he posted a $1,000,000 bond?

You only have to pay 10% of it... iirc.

[defectivelasagna]

...guns...

[FStop7]

I love dogs but fuck dogs that bark all day and fuck their loser owners.

[Computer]

Shooting people because of noise? Seriously? That's an overreaction if I ever saw one.
