I'm sure most, if not all, the pit owners on Aldeer are ahead of the national "responsible dog owner" curve. However, I don't get all the hair splitting about variations or corruptions in the breed...insisting that other breeds also show human aggression is irrelevant...pit (bully) attacks are what result in serious injuries and deaths. People can't be expected to look at you and tell that you're a responsible handler, and your dog poses no threat. It's their right to be leery of any dog.
Here's one of the two involved in the Atlanta attack in question. Feel free to remind us that a Border Collie was also involved...I'm sure its killing ability is equal to this pit mix...who incidentally has the kids' blood stains on its chest.
