What Would You Do?

What would YOU do?

You're walking down the street, minding your own business, aware of your surroundings, being cautious and not hurting or bothering anyone.  It's broad daylight, and other people are seemingly doing the same thing you're doing - simply walking:

You see a dog running toward you.  It's a big dog.  It gets closer and closer.  You realize it is a very large Pit-Bull dog running full speed toward you and barking VERY loudly.  You're startled and stop in your tracks.  You start to back away.  You realize it's after you so you start running.  You're not fast enough and the Pit-Bull attacks you.  He jumps on you with all his weight.  His claws are digging into your flesh and he's biting your neck and face while attacking you.  You manage to fight him off and start running away.

The Pit-Bull chases you down and catches you.  Again he's ripping your flesh off.  Sinking his teeth into you.  Sharp claws tearing at your arms, legs & torso.  His mouth has a death grip on your neck and wont let go.  You fight, fight hard and somehow manage to push him off by kicking him.  Once he's off, you stand up and see the dog is hurt.  You kick him a few more times to make sure he doesn't attack you again.  You run off after assuming you're safe.

The Pit-Bull regains his strength and chases you down and catches you AGAIN.  Again he's tearing into you.  Biting with all his might, scratching your skin and causing many serious injuries.  You somehow manage to fight him off again.  Once he's off of you hit him a few times, kick him a few times and beat him to the point that you "think" he's gotten the point to NOT attack you again.  He's hurt and you think all is well and you continue on your way.

The Pit-Bull regains his composure, strength and willpower and chases and attacks you AGAIN.  You're on the ground with this large, aggressive, mean, dominate killing machine on top of you.  He's again biting you.  Scratching you.  You're a bloody mess sitting in a pool of your own blood and piss while this dog continues to attack you.  You look to your side and see a large hammer.  With your last bit of strength you manage to pick up the hammer.  You clock the dog in the head with the hammer and knock him off of you.  He's stunned but continues his attack.  You hit him again.  You knock him off again.  He's hurt, bleeding but still growling, barking and acting aggressive.  You use the hammer and beat him repeatedly.  Over and over you hit this dog with the hammer.  You do this to ensure that he will NOT get back up and attack you or anyone else because obviously this dog is a threat to others.  You continue to beat him until you are POSITIVE he can not get back up and attack again.  You're bloody, hurt, need medical attention, but you're alive.  You're not sure how hurt the dog is but you do know he is incapable of inflicting any more damage to you or anyone else at least for the time being.

 Now imagine if someone video recorded ONLY the last 3 minutes of that encounter.  From a reasonable distance as to not get attacked by the dog.  Then posted that 3 minute video on every social media site.  Are you an animal abuser?  Do you hate dogs?  Do you get your kicks from torturing innocent animals?  People would call for your death.  PETA would demand justice.  You would be labelled a dog-killer.  Folks would want you beaten with a hammer for you to "see how it feels". 

That's our current media!
