That’s my point, enough calls are a crime. Depends on the statute.

The relevant section of the US Code is 47/22:

“...makes repeated telephone calls or repeatedly initiates communication with a telecommunications device, during which conversation or communication ensues, solely to harass any person at the called number or who receives the communication...”

Even a congress member has the right to say, “Sir, you have made your point, I have heard your petition. I have other constituents and other responsibilities. I will consider further calls from you to be harassing and will report them as such.”

This sort of conduct trivialises and demeans US and gives our enemies sticks to hit us with.

“I called, my Congressman told me to f#ck off and hung up on me”, caller is the good guy.

“I called over and over, eventually my Congressman told me to f#ck off and I kept calling the poor overworked 19 year old intern until she had to call the cops to get me off her a$$” , caller is the bad guy.

I call your attention to the 3rd paragraph. In true Alaska journalistic fashion, the author describes the tactical situation and the weapon used to dispatch the dog. Virtually every non-hunting man-beast encounter in Alaska includes the little details. I really love this place.

I can’t stand the little yappers myself, but what kind of Man does something like this? Not much of one.

The only reason my kid was at your house was because you’re keeping money in your desk........

I just hope it stays sunny today long enough to mow the lawn.

I was going to say the shooter should have had a fence on his yard, but his dog was controlled--the chihuahua owner should have kept his critter in his own yard.  Apparently Faux pas has been just that for five years, regularly running loose.

What if the stray had been squished by a car? No story there.

A military grade electric fence would have been effective, too, but people would then whine about neighbor kids frying on it. A .410 is an effective and selective weapon but too attention grabbing. 

One of the comenters mentioned a Victor’s rat trap would have been as effective and quieter.

TDH...that d-o-g is G-o-d spelled backwards is no mistake :)

I actually started liking Chiwawas after getting to know a couple.

But this has nothing to do with that.

( and I don’t have designated weapons for shooting specific dog breeds on my property :)

That Big Sur?  Looks a lot like Humbug Mountain in Curry County, Oregon.

I see somemthing like this and I thank God that He gave enough balls to His dogs that they chose to come into the cave way back when and become the friends of mankind.

Two words:  mint sauce.

Though I don’t like hairless rats in general, i will concede that “Faux Pas” is an awesome name for a dog.

A shotgun seems a little...excessive for a chihuahua.

I think it would send a message to the Catholics:  “Hey, this time we’re really serious!” Might help some fence-sitters decide.

I’m at a loss for words. Blah! Talk about disconnect.

My chix went off strike about a month ago and have been laying regularly, but we’re also stuck with snow.  8-12 inches predicted.

blah.

UU, I can HEAR Smurphy...OMG....a butterfly flies by outside and it sets him off. Oh the hilarity!

I had 3 dozen “extra” eggs given to me this week alone—Las Chickens are Awake around here!

seems to be working for her…

heh.
