Calif. Man Sentenced to Prison for Shooting at Neighbor’s Dog
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/12/calif-man-sentenced-to-prison-for-shooting-at-neighbors-dog/

A California man accused of pointing a gun at a girl neighbor and then shooting her dog was sentenced to six years in state prison, authorities said.

<snip>

Officials said States, on May 25, had taunted the child’s female Terrier mix, “Smalls,” who then began barking at States.

The girl ran inside when States drew a handgun, then fired a round at the dog, which, afterward, also ran indoors.

Authorities said States then went inside the girl’s home, pointed a gun at her as she held Smalls in her lap and threatened to shoot the animal.

2. Slam the bars shut and throw away the key...
How many gun nuts think they can solve every damn problem with their bullying-enabling extension??? :eyes: I suspect he may learn he's not so damned tough-- without that gun-- in prison.

3. O.K., what's the point here?
A person who commited a criminal act got correctly punished for it.

What's the problem?

4. I am guessing
guilt by association. At least that is the whistle poster number two heard.

6. Perform a criminal act, suffer the consequences
Are you opposed to this?

8. Interesting choice of title by ABC.
I would like to think the shooter was arrested for threatening to kill the girl.
