Woman Killed Because Dog Went ‘Potty’
A young couple, seemingly in love, walked their dog past the house of a man who is clearly a poster child for the MAGA base (his photo is down in the article a bit).
The dog walkers were enjoying the Colorado weather when their little pooch stopped to go “potty.”
I am not a dog owner. I don’t the rules for dogs that need to make a number one in public. I do understand that a number two has to be bagged and disposed of properly — this is just common courtesy.
Well, the unhappy, white guy who happens to also be the proud owner of an assault rifle was in his house:
He is said to have shouted: “Are you going to train that f****** dog or just yell at it?”
Darian Simon, the young man walking the dog with his girlfriend Isabella Thallas, shouted back: “Mind your own business; Rocko is a good dog.”
38-year-old Michael Close did then what most normal Americans would do.
Seconds later Close fired the weapon at the pair, killing 21-year-old Isabella who was shot in the back and died instantly in the exchange and wounding her partner in his legs.
