(CBS/AP) CRANBERRY, Pa. - A western Pennsylvania man has been charged with inciting Chaos.

That's the name of a police dog officers say was taunted by 26-year-old James Andrews, of Cranberry Township, after the man was stopped at a drunken-driving checkpoint in the wee hours of Sept. 15.

Andrews was allegedly "barking, hissing and growling" at the dog, according to the K-9's handler, Evan City police Sgt. Don Myers.

The charge for inciting the K-9 is, in fact, a felony carrying up to seven years in prison.

Woof.

This why I have a hard time denying “felons” RKBA for life, because things like this are classified as felonies.

Obama would have just ordered the dog to be fried up with peppers and onions.

My ex-brother in law was a K-9 officer. Sometimes, he would go to McDonald's or BK for dinner. The dog would be growling, barking, and chomping on the cage, trying to get at the drive through window personnel.

Despite that, they would ask if they could give him a french fry. Idiots.

The definition has been so dumbed down as to be asinine. This used to be things that were considered worthy of a death penalty, folks. If you barked like a fool at a police dog was that ever considered something to hang you for? It is to laugh at the idea. And to cry at the funeral of common sense.

Just so. There is no death penalty for rape or child molesting, hell, hardly even for murder. But this, THIS, is a felony with all that implies?

Agreed, very much agreed.
Moreover, the "felon" of today who has served his sentence is relegated to a position of second-class citizen: having to pay for eternity for a crime which was already paid for (if it was not, then the sentence has not been completed). [This is disregarding the "felons can't have firearms" "law" was/is, by nature, ex post facto and thereby null and void by the federal constitution in both Federal law and State law.]

Yep. If you are a “felon” you should be hanged or in prison until you are too old to bother anyone.

Bark at their dog? Get a felony.

Your dog barks at them? Your dog gets shot.

Seems fair.

There is a local pub that allows me to bring in my dog, if they aren’t too busy.

More than once a drunk patron attempted to taunt my dog, who is better behaved than most people I know.

Too true, seems like everything is a felony now days. No way would I convict someone of these kind of bogus charges if I was on the jury.

I have a problem with the latter: it is inhumane to lock one up for a great term of years. — IMO, if the offense cannot be paid by, say, ten years (an eighth of a long life), then it should be death. Some people claim that the death penalty is "cruel and unusual", they are fools: it is far more cruel [and hypocritical] to rob a man of everything that makes a life while holding to the literal-truth that they didn't "take his life."
