Convicted Felons with Big Dogs
Here’s a security threat I’ll bet you never even considered before: convicted felons with large dogs:
The Contra Costa County board of supervisors [in California] unanimously supported on Tuesday prohibiting convicted felons from owning any dog that is aggressive or weighs more than 20 pounds, making it all but certain the proposal will become law when it formally comes before the board for approval Nov. 15.
These are not felons in jail. These are felons who have been released from jail after serving their time. They’re allowed to re-enter society, but letting them own a large dog would be just too much of a risk to the community?

Sounds like the Contra Costa County board of supervisors doesn’t have enough to do. So they make stupid decrees such as this one.
Maybe we shouldn’t allow them to own cars either because you could easily kill somone with one. Perhaps they shouldn’t be allowed own knives, rope, steal bars, pipe, bailing wire, cleaning solutions….ban them from using gyms, matches or lighters….
