It’s a good thing that the guy’s kid wasn’t jaywalking in the area. A slug from a .45 certainly would have solved that problem as well.
Tell me, did the owner’s walking of his dog off leash facilitate the circumstances that led to his dog’s death?
The answer is yes.
Tell me, if that same person had been walking with his child and let his child jaywalk and the child got hit and killed by a car, did the parent’s irresponsibility facilitate the circumstances that led to his child’s death?
The answer is yes.
If you are responsible for something, i.e. a dog, or someone, i.e. your child, then you are responsible.
Let’s hope you are smart enough and mature enough to shoulder that responsibility, or things could turn out badly, couldn’t they?
That is all there is to it.
