    "I didn't see no weapons...just the damn dog"

    Two men broke into an Omaha home Monday morning brandishing not a gun, knife or baseball bat, but a pit bull.

    The pair broke into the house at 40th and Spencer through a back door around 2 a.m. One person was punched in the nose when he didn't hand over any money. It seems the would-be robbers got away empty-handed, but not before striking fear into their victims with the dog.

    At a time when the city of Omaha is considering some sort of restrictions on pit bulls and their owners, this will certainly be more fuel for those who want to ban the particular breed.

    "I was awakened from the sounds of a dog,” says Tony, who didn’t want to disclose his last name. “We don't have no dog." What did they want? "I have not a clue."

    One of the thieves stood over him for several minutes while his friends were threatened. "I didn't see no weapons or anything, just the damn dog. I don't know what the heck the dog was even doing there because the dog didn't bite nobody."

    The two men slashed all four tires on the car outside. A week ago, someone threw a landscaping brick through a window of the house .

    "The brick was one problem, never had that problem before neither, but when these two guys came in the house, that really got me. I've been in the military myself and I swore to myself I would never hurt anyone because of all the killing I did in the military, but after last night I'm telling you what. I'm about ready to buy me a damn gun."

    Tony's friend has a busted up nose, but otherwise is okay. They didn't get a good look at the suspects.

    Mark Langan, a former police officer who's now a part of the Nebraska Humane Society says it's the first time he's ever heard of a dog being used in this manner.

    people know what they hear...did you know that more people are bitten more by a weiner dog than they are a pit bull...but you want to ban a pit bull. they're bigger dogs so yes the aftermath of a pit bull attacking some one is going to be very bad i believe that the people breeding them and raising them need to be responsible and make responsable descions with their pits.
    Posted by: Brittney on Jul 26, 2008 at 08:39 PM
    I believe that it isnt the dogs is the people raising the dogs...there are way to many people in this city that raise their dogs to be mean...some do it for protection others for there personal reasons. It's not right to punish those of us who love our pits and dont raise them to be that way.
    Posted by: Corey on Jul 25, 2008 at 11:52 AM
    L you are right about one thing, "Education" people need to educate themselves before commenting on a breed of dog they only hear about in the new's or from there neighbor!! Education is key to any aspect of life, so the people that comment on here that go by what they hear on the new's or read in the paper need to actually educate themselves about the breed before commenting and sounding ignorant. If you ban a american bull terrier, are all terrier's under that category? Will all bull breed's be in that same ban too? Because all dog's bite all animal's have the ability to bite.. Tones I own a pit and I would never say "my dog would never bite" because of one reason ALL DOG"S BITE!!!! And if my dog would bite anyone I would put her down myself whether I had a lab or a miniature poodle. So on a last note, "Get Educated it's what makes the world a better place".
    Posted by: Tones on Jul 24, 2008 at 07:36 PM
    I've known of several Pit Bulls and have seen the aftermath of a Pit Bull attack first hand. These dogs are dangerous. Pit owners are in such a state of denial it makes me sick. They always say, "My dog would never....." -- Funny, owners of pit bulls who have SNAPPED always say, "I never would have thought that my dog would...."
    Posted by: L on Jul 24, 2008 at 03:54 PM
    Pitbull is not a breed. Before commenting, please educate yourselves.
    Posted by: Corey on Jul 24, 2008 at 12:01 PM
    Tell me people who want a ban where do you get the information that all pitbull's are mean? Do you get it from newspaper's, new's coverage or are you going by what people tell you? I bet none of you have ever even seen a pitbull or even met a pitbull so how can you judge all pitbull's because of the few rogue dog's?? It make's me sick to see all these hater's that have no idea what they are talking about, saying "Ban the monster's" "IT is like looking down a loaded gun". It just goes to show how ignorant people can be! You want a solution well here is one " LEASH LAW that is enforced, must have proper certified training and instruction's, If they have a violent crime history or any felony's ban them from owning them, Child abuser's, Adult abuser's, sex offender's should be on that list too! I have 4 kid's my wife run's a daycare out of our home and we own a pitty! I am more worried about child molester's, and rapist, and gun toting thug's. Dog's aren't monster's people are!!

    These dogs have no place in the city. They need to be banned with NO GRANDFATHER rights for the one's here now. A pitbull is a pitbull ...... no exceptions to the ban.
    Posted by: Tones on Jul 23, 2008 at 12:03 PM
    Once again the criminal element proves the very point of everyone who want a pit bull ban in place in Omaha. Sorry to the so called "responsible" owners, but no pit ban has ever been overturned because of constitutional issues. The rights of the govt to protect the general public trumps the rights of those who want to own the monsters.

    how can you blame north omaha, as a whole for this incident. people please understand, crime is usually in the poorest part of a city. if you dont have anything constructive to say, why mention anything. most of you say you will get you a gun, but you live way out west. not to say crime doesnt happen out west, but it is a bare minimum compared to north. look how different the comments are on the BEATING VICTIM REMOVED FROM LIFE SUPPORT COLUMN, its much different from this one. many of you just cant wait to comment on north omaha. we seem to think just like the media at times. for instance, a person dies, rite after they tell you what happen, they then will focus on his criminal history as if to say that his life was meaningless or no one cared about this individual!! is that rite?? thats what most of you guys get caught up in. you try to find the most negative thing to talk about, to bring up. i will ask GOD to not let me JUDGE PEOPLE. i hope some of judgemental people do the same...

    Don't ban pit bulls ban Stupid People . It never mention in the story that the dog bite or even growled at the innocent people. Any dog can bite not just pit bulls my neighbor has a ankle bitter ( a very small mix breed) that when ever some one walks by the dam thing bites i think its a *daushound*
    Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 23, 2008 at 07:10 AM
    The dog may not have bitten anyone, but the intention was there. If someone points a gun at you but doesn't pull the trigger does that mean the gun isn't dangerous, or it's OK to go around waving a gun around. Sure not all pit bulls bite, but biting with as much destructive force as possible is exactly what the pit bull breed was created and still bred for. It's also true that due to to the cruel purposes which pit bull are used and bred for makes pit bulls victims as well as impliments of cruelty. Having sympathy for dogs used for dog fighting doesn't make pit bull any better suited as domestic pet.

    this is just another story the guy said the dog wasnt even biting if it was a killer it would of done something right away.people are the reason for all this oh yah you better ban guns so people dont use them wrong oh wait they are and the people who do the crimes go to jail sounds like a good idea
    Posted by: angie on Jul 22, 2008 at 06:31 PM
    Outrages, where in the heck did you come up with the figure that 90 to 95 percent of pitbulls are mean? Evidently, you need to do some research and get your facts straight before you start spouting out the mouth. Especially about something that you know nothing of. Quit being an ignoramous and do your homework. I am glad that you are not the one deciding my pets fate. Oh, its a pit!! Say no to BSL!!

    The stats quoted on dogbite.org come from an obviously biased source and originally the data comes from an animal rights activist out of wa state that only used data from media accounts that he could find. The CDC reports are based on media findings, which we know can be inaccurate, Just as fox news and Msnbc are biased news sources. He also failed to include any citations in his "report". there are no known stats that are truly reliable for that time period. here is a site that refutes the stats and provides accurate documentation of data. http://www.nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/... example, the author of the data you used "located 264 fatal dog attacks in the U.S. and Canada from 1982 to 2006 through the collection of newspaper articles. The Centers for Disease Control and the National Canine Research Council have documented 477 fatal dog attacks in the U.S. and Canada during this same period."

    Get rid of these killer dogs. I know it is not their fault but they are born with a killer instinct no matter how great and loving you train them. There may be a couple of exceptions but 90 to 95 percent are mean and harmful even deadly.

    How many of you pit bull lovers know this?Break Stick Because pit bull dogs have been bred for their fighting abilities and can cause serious injury to other dogs if a fight is not broken up quickly and efficiently. Keep in mind that most dogs fight differently than pit bull dogs. A pit bull's inherent reaction in the heat of a fight is the one of a Terrier with a prey. The pit bull will work to get a solid grip and then hold and shake. This is quite different than most other types of dogs who do a lot of random biting, growling and barking but will most likely quit when their opponent shows signs of submission. In many cases, a non-pit bull fight will be a lot of noise and snapping jaws, usually resulting in little damage. Since a pit bull will firmly grip and hold its victim, break sticks have been designed to break their grip. This is the safest, easiest and most effective way to stop a pit bull fight. No responsible owner should be without one.

    This proves what I have been saying, the people who own pitbulls are three bricks short of a full load. Now they take their dog on a crime spree with them. DUH...
    Posted by: Meca on Jul 22, 2008 at 02:13 PM
    Yes, I agree it is very bizarre, but who am I to say its not true, nothing surprises me anymore. But I just wonder how these pitbull bandits knew that this man did not have a gun, and that they did not take anything? or maybe just not telling what they took or what they were looking for. And Kent your probably right, I think I know what a American bull dog is, is it the same as a American pitbull terrier, and I have 3 dogs of my own and yes they are kenneled and in a fenced in yard. And lets not blame the breed of dog, the blame is with the owner.
    Posted by: John on Jul 22, 2008 at 01:15 PM
    Yes, the problem is with the humans. Maybe we should ban thieving idiots from the city. Why can't I raise a gray wolf to protect myself from these idiots and pitbulls? Seems like that would be a fair trade to allow people to keep their beloved pitbulls. It does sound like the victim was targeted rather than a random attack. It's sad to see what length of stupidity people will go to over a little cash (none in this case). Methinks there is an illegal substance in the mix somewhere.
    Posted by: Corey on Jul 22, 2008 at 01:14 PM
    OK J if your a so called expert on what pit's look like follow link and take the test and be honest! I bet you can't pick the pit on the first or the fifth try! And anybody else that think they know a pit when they see it try the test it is a real eye opener and show's why B.S.L won't work!!!! http://www. chako. org/breedtest. html

    Ok so some of you are experts on what a pitbull looks like, go to this website and see if you can pick out the American pitbull terrier,http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html. I bet 9 /10s of you can't pick the right dog.
    Posted by: Ashley on Jul 22, 2008 at 12:37 PM
    Why should someone elses stupid decision to use a dog in a robbery play a role in having this ban decided. It is not the dogs fault that some people decide to take it for illegal purposes. In my mind it all depends on how you raise your dog, to be mean and attack or to be nice and relaxed.
    Posted by: Sheri on Jul 22, 2008 at 12:26 PM
    It suprises me that nobody here has commented on the fact that this story is SO bizarre! I am not saying that I don't believe it, but I am not sure that I do. This house has been vandalized and now this man has been the victim of a break in by DOG wielding burglars who assault his friends?? On top of that, the "burglars" did not take anything but this man's property has once again been vandalized. This doesn't seem strange to anyone else??? Doesn't there HAVE to be special circumstances involved?
    Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 22, 2008 at 11:52 AM
    John I agree with your statement, I also have to point out that I said that the pit bull was there to most likely to use to attack the dog or dogs who may be living on the premises. And most dogs, no matter the breed, will show their own hint of ownership of the particular territory that they live on. So if another dog happened to pass a glance at an intruding animal, pit bull or shi tzu most dogs will hint to the other dog to leave their territory. Most aren't trained in the slight body movements dogs give off to do this so we all believe that all dogs growl and raise their hackles when they challenge another. That's just not true. So yes that pit bull/other breed of dog would have given indication to attack if another dog stepped up. Which is what would have happened should the owner have owned a dog. And Keith, my niece was attacked and nearly killed by an AKC registered Black Lab. Don't live in the delusion that all dogs are generous creatures but the pit bulls.
    Posted by: Darren on Jul 22, 2008 at 11:51 AM
    m - What you mean is that if pit bulls didn't have a deserved reputation for attacks this would never have made the news.
    Posted by: Mary on Jul 22, 2008 at 10:34 AM
    Have to wonder if this wasn't 'staged' to add fuel to the fire since Omaha is looking at Breed Specific Legislation. Interesting they had no weapons with them, just a dog. Sounds a bit weird to me. Coincidences always seem suspicious to me. And for heaven's sake, focus on the HUMANS that broke in and not on what kind of dog they had. The perpetrators were the HUMANS!
    Posted by: mr on Jul 22, 2008 at 10:32 AM
    to karma: do you have problems distinguishing dog breeds? if you see a pit bull you know it is a pit bull..not rocket science
    Posted by: Juan on Jul 22, 2008 at 10:25 AM
    I encourage all law abiding, responsible adults to arm themselves. Legally purchase an appropriate firearm, get some good training with the use of that firearm, and practice using that firearm. I also encourage those with the correct mindset to obtain a carry permit. Dialing 911 would have done nothing if the situation with the pitbull turned even more negative.
    Posted by: mrs coleman on Jul 22, 2008 at 10:19 AM
    ok thats enough now how desperate can you get to use a pet as your weapon to rob someone whoever that was needs his a** beat he want to be killed going into someones house like that now what if the owner of the house had a gun ans shot him his friend and the dog?????STUPID IGNORANT FOOL
    Posted by: DebT on Jul 22, 2008 at 10:17 AM
    Again, the focus is NOT where it belongs. The dog did not attack anyone, or invade anyone's home...it was brought there by criminals who were commiting a crime. The real issue here is NOT pit bulls, BUT CRIMINALS. Heck, they could have brought guns, knives, baseball bats, machetes, whatever! Would you then focus on banning all of these items? Or would you say that these were criminal people breaking the law and THEY are the ones that need to be dealt with? Heck, if the purpose is to intimidate, a big black labrador retriever, or some other large dog of muttly background would serve the purpose in these same people's hands. PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS....NOT THINGS AND ANIMALS.

    We'll all be thanking these idiot thugs when Omaha passes a total ban on pit bulls...this incident just added fuel to an already pretty hot fire.

    We all need to buy guns and learn how to use them. No one else in this city is going to protect us or our property but ourselves!!!This is America. We have that right-though sad but true,we need to start enforcing that right.Get these criminals off the streets!
    Posted by: JMD on Jul 22, 2008 at 08:49 AM
    So, some scum bags bring a dog, it is not confirmed what breed of dog, and you all want the dogs banned? What is wrong with this picture? Did the dog think, oh yea, lets go rob a house? NO. IT IS THE HUMANS, NOT THE DOG.
    Posted by: D on Jul 22, 2008 at 08:20 AM
    Yup buy more guns and kill people. That's the answer to everything in this city GUNS. Then people complain when there is gun violence.

    To those who say "How do you know it was a Pit?" Well my question to you is How do you know it wasn't? Pits are usually pretty easy to pick out. It doesn't take an expert to pick one out. however at the same time it is true that there are some muts that are just hard to tell. Regardless it's obvious these men didn't try to rob the guy with a poodle.

    Its funny I take my pit out to petco and petsmart all the time and people FLOCK to to pet her.I get stuck there for 2 hours half the time.There has been a few times where somebody against the breed has come up to me to share there thoughts,but it never fails by the time they are done ranting they are petting my dog,and letting there kids pet my dog.One time a lady didnt want to sit next to a pit at the vet(she told me they are just to mean), so she got up and moved next to another smaller breed(a white fuzzy thing)as soon as she sat down the dog ran at her barking,snapping and jumped at her.She got right up and came sat right down next to my dog(who was laying still on the floor)reached down and stroked her head.My dog almost knowing what happened didnt miss a beat wagged her tail and licked her hand.I looked at her and said are you positive you want to sit next to a mean pitbull.She just smiled and gave my dog a treat.
    Posted by: m on Jul 22, 2008 at 04:08 AM
    The witchhunt for pitbulls is getting a little old.Everyday its something new and exciting I am waiting to see "Storms blow down tree, owner sees pitbull sitting outside looking guilty" Come on somebody breaks into your house,and you have the time and nerves to identify the DOG.If a pitbull was not involved this story it would have NEVER made the news.Maybe thats why the people robbed included the dreaded word PITBULL for more attention.In addition when was the last time a robber slashed tires?Sounds a little to personal for me.If you are for the ban, fine just take some time and effort to at least read OPEN MINDED about the breed BEFORE making a decision that could effect 100's of responsible pet owners. Pits are just the current vogue dog of irrisponsible dog owners.Wait a little longer and we will be writing about chows or something. Dont worry this to will pass.

    Karma, would you like some cheese with your whine? Sure, some other breeds look like pit bulls. That's why most pit bull owners lie to their neighbors and say their dog is another breed. What goes around comes around, right, Karma? But this time you want it both ways.

I never dreamed I would have to own one and I hate to have to do this, but the world is getting out of control. Now that pit bulls are being used as weapons, can we euthanize the owners of them too ?
    Posted by: Joe V. on Jul 21, 2008 at 11:37 PM
    To you who want to shoot the dog in addition to the robbers - so you want to punish the dog for the stupidity of the people using the dog as a weapon??? If the dog attacks, then sure, defend yourself. But to shoot the dog simply because a couple of morons are dumb enough to grab some poor dog, that's more than a bit extreme. If the dog's a threat, sure. If it's at the mercy of a couple of idiots, no.

    When is the last time you heard of a Cocker Spaniel chewing the testicles off a toddler? NEVER. The point of this story is not that two people invaded a home...it is that they invaded a home using a PIT BULL as a weapon. I work in the field, and enter many homes on a regular basis. I have had several encounters with many dogs...most I am unafraid of, but Pit Bulls , as a rule, require special attention. Not all I have encountered are vicious. That being said...the MOST vicious I have encountered (by more than a few encounters) have been pit bulls. Coincidence? I think not. Breed them out...euthanise (spelling?) them...ban them...do what it takes to get terror out of our city. The simple fact that someone would use this breed of dog as a weapon to invade a home alone should support any and all arguments that they are tame. Hey PETA...WAKE UP

    I'm not condoning anything these freaks did to the people in the home; but I am wondering, since his tires were slashed and a brick thrown through his window, if Tony is the only target for violence and vandalism in this neighborhood. No other neighborhood victims were mentioned.
    Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 21, 2008 at 09:22 PM
    Somewhere it seems Tony made someone mad, but thye do not have the right to throw bricks or enter his house and attack. Bringing the dog was stupid. Pit Bulls are a menace. Ban them unless you own a junk yard!
    Posted by: John on Jul 21, 2008 at 09:04 PM
    Anonymous in Bellevue. I have to dispute your claim that the pit bull was unlikely to attack unless he was challenged by another dog. I have seen pit bulls attack other dogs many times unprovoked. Male pit bulls will attack female dogs. Adult pit bulls will attack puppies. Hardly normal dog behavior. What'smore, the pit bull was clearly there as a weapon intended for whatever resistance these criminals may come across. Proof once again (as if we really needed anymore) of the kind of people who own pit bulls and the nefarious purposes these dogs are created for.
    Posted by: Just Me on Jul 21, 2008 at 08:39 PM
    Yes how do they know it was a pitbull dog? Anyone tries to break into my home may get a shot of 2 men named Smith and the other Wesson. And take my word I know how to use this gun very well. And I'm not afraid of pitbulls.
    Posted by: mad on Jul 21, 2008 at 07:40 PM
    It is sad to say and Im not a violent person but I totally support the use of guns by people trying to protect their home. I would have no issue taking out both of the thugs and the dog to boot. If they are breaking into your home luckily the law is on your side as it is self defense on a home invasion. North O is out of control and since nobody is solving the problems people have to at least protect themselves in their own homes. Is there going to be a really aginst home invasions next weekend?????????????
    Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 21, 2008 at 06:53 PM
    I'll bet they brought the dog to take out any other canine that could be wandering around the house. In actuality the dog probably wouldn't have led the attack on it's own, unless another dog challenged it. Which is most likely what would have happened if the owner of the home did have a territorial dog. I bet they broke into a home before and had found themselves running out with a dog's jaws snapped down onto their rumps. Still their mentality is lacking intelligence, after all a dog of any breed isn't going to stop a bullet.
    Posted by: Steve on Jul 21, 2008 at 06:30 PM
    I would have unloded the entire clip on them,reloaded and done it again so their families could have a closed casket funeral,then finished off the dog.

    And what makes these guys a expert on if this was a pitbull or not? they are somehow a expert on the breed? because the media, the police and the NHS weren't there to identify this dog, so I don't know why it is being identified as a pitbull instead of just a dog.

    "Enemies foreign and domestic". It's too bad you weren't armed when they broke in. You would have done a wonderful service to your community by removing them from the population.
