Of course, the actual incident is not funny, but the comment thread sort of went out of hand and was amusing to read. It actually made JC List look pretty civil, which is what I found hilarious.

There is nothing hilarious about two dogs being killed one of which was abused and provoked prior to being shot. What are you thinking?

Hoboken building tenants express safety concerns after pit bull attack
By Mark Maurer/The Jersey Journal February 05, 2010, 3:58PM  This is the apartment in One Independence Court where a pit bull attacked three people and was eventually shot and killed by police. Following an incident at One Independence Court in Hoboken last night in which a pit bull attacked its owner and two other residents and was subsequently shot and killed by police, apartment tenants reacted with strong safety concerns. Claudia Karnbach, a 45-year-old doctor who lives in the building, said she has seen several pit bulls in the building and not all of them seemed harmless. She?s not surprised by the attack this morning ? it was only a matter of time, she said. ?There have been situations in the elevator and there was always a chance it might escalate,? Karnbach said. ?We were told to stay away from them.? Rev. Tom Pendrick, 45, was entering the building today to visit his octogenarian parents who reside there. ?My father?s 86 and on a cane,? Pendrick said. ?I wish they didn?t have an unattended pit bull running around in the lobby. I?m a bit concerned.? Bob McPhee, who was walking his golden retriever chow mix dog outside the building, said this is the first time he?s heard of an incident in this magnitude. ?This is a dog community,? he said. ?It?s a really a peaceful place, but everybody has to be responsible with their pets.? Mark Rabson, spokesman for the Jersey City Medical Center, confirmed that a 41-year-old woman, 42-year-old man and 26-year-old woman were brought to the hospital last night. The two women underwent surgeries for multiple wounds and fractures, Rabson said. They are out of surgery now and in stable condition. The man was treated and released, Rabson said.

Hoboken 411 indicated that the one or both women were under the influence of alcohol which makes sense why they ignored the police.
I am glad the police did not shoot the other dog. It showed restraint. However, it is sad it died anyway. It would be good to hear what provoked the first dog. Maybe the guy was drunk too and threatened the dog. Who knows.

Why then, the need to tranquilize and use a snare pole on the other... My guess would be that you don't know what an animal might do in that situation. Rather than shooting the non-aggressive one, the police chose to tranquilize it. Unfortunately it died.

There were two dogs, but the latest article seems to be saying that only one dog (the one shot and killed) was being aggressive. Why then, the need to tranquilize and use a snare pole on the other...I have no idea. :/

I was thinking the same thing. Hmm... Let me walk into an enclosed apartment with an enraged pit bull. Or was it two pit bulls? The stories aren't very clear.

It's obvious who the cops should have tranquilized. Morons.

Wow, so the victims could have avoided being injured by using common sense? I don't know whether to be sad or angry.

I think the lesson here is when the police say, "don't enter", perhaps one should listen.

Pit bull shot and killed by Hoboken police after mauling three residents in apartment
By Mark Maurer/The Jersey Journal
February 05, 2010, 11:17AM
Hoboken shot and killed a pit bull in an apartment last night that mauled three people, one of which was the dog's owner.
Hoboken Police shot and killed a violent pit bull last night after it mauled three victims - including its owner - at a luxury building at 1 Independence Court in Hoboken, according to a police report.
A 42-year-old man who resides at the building called police around midnight and said his roommate?s pit bull named Giant had caused severe bites to his right ankle, a report said. Police arrived and the man, who said he bitten by the same pit bull last week, was treated outside by EMS, a report said. Police noticed the pit bull was unleashed in the apartment. A second pit bill appeared in the lobby with blood on its face and body but had not harmed anyone, a report said.
The pit bull?s owner, a 26-year-old female Hoboken resident, appeared near the lobby, a report said. Police repeatedly warned her not to enter the lobby or apartment, but she entered the apartment where she was bitten and mauled in her lower extremities by her own dog, causing her massive trauma and blood loss, a report said.
Hoboken Police, assisted by the Port Authority Police, Emergency Service Unit, carried the female resident out the window and into an ambulance, rushing her to Jersey City Medical Center, police said.
Police barricaded the pit bill with furniture. Then, a third victim ? a 41-year-old female Hoboken resident ? tried to enter the apartment despite the police?s warnings. The pit bull became loose and mauled her causing serious bodily injury to her legs. She was then also rushed to the medical center, requiring emergency surgery, a police report said.
Sgt. Edmund Drishti then drew his weapon and shot and killed the pit bull named ?Giant.? The second pit bull, which remained harmless, was tranquilized by the PAPD Emergency Service Unit. The pit bull, which was apparently ownerless according to the Humane Society, later died as well, police said.
The male and female owner/victims both resided at Independence Court and the third 41 year-old female victim was from Hoboken, police said.
Hoboken Health Officer Frank Sasso will conduct a separate investigation to determine if the dog?s owner violated any health or ordinances, police said. The dogs contained no City of Hoboken dog tags, police said.
?There was no other alternative available but to terminate this violent pit bull, who had seriously injured three people," Police Chief Anthony Falco said.

Very sad situation for all involved.
Just a note that the police weren't "forced to kill" both dogs. The article clearly states that the second dog died after being restrained which is pretty standard for a situation like this. Ultimately, both dogs are dead, but the way the thread title is phrased isn't totally accurate.

Oh, sorry. I saw "apartment's owner" but missed the part about the dog's owner.

The apartment's owner and his two female friends were attacked by his two pit bulls.
Quote: "Eyewitness News is told the apartment's owner, a man, sustained a bite to his lower leg. Two women were also attacked and had unknown injuries." It is also stated that way on both news videos. Quote:
Luckily no little children or senior citizens were randomly attacked on the street this time!

The reports don't say whether the dogs belonged to the people they attacked.

I wonder if Hoboken will now move to ban Pit Bulls - and the building owners better go check their insurance policies.
