Your post is full of thinly veiled racial insults.
I read the article, and it said leashes were required. I also read the post, and there was nothing within a million miles of a racial insult.

I glanced through the title of this thread and glanced through a couple of the posts. Let's be clear here: the punch didn't kill him. Rather, the way he fell and hit his head did, so basically a freak accident. He could have tripped and fell with the same result.

Except that we all know that punching a man can kill him in exactly that way, which means the punch did kill him.

This is a clear case of voluntary manslaughter, do some research on it and compare it to the facts.

Your post is full of thinly veiled racial insults, but did you read the article and take a look at the photo of the perpetrator? I think you'd be surprised.
What?? You need glasses.

Fortunately the authorities disagree with you, hence the charges of involuntary manslaughter, terroristic threats, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. They recognise that the way he fell and hit his head was caused by being punched in head. As you know perfectly well, that is not an accident.

A freak accident?

You need to brush up on the law, dude.

I feel really bad for for the deceased victim (who was a big man). He was about to be married, and he and his fiancée look so happy in their pictures. That unfortunately will not happen now.

The suspect now has to live with the guilt of taking a man's life. It goes to show you that something seemingly minor, like a punch, can end up being very serious and change your life forever. He turned himself in and has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. That is why, unless my life is threatened, I try to never resort to violence. Punching someone can definitely lead to bad outcomes, and can alter both people's lives forever.

I feel sorry for the deceased man, but not the suspect.

Having an unleashed pitbull?

Punching someone?

I've never done such things. Nor have maybe 99% of all men.

Not sure why someone thinks I'm racist - both guys look white to me, not that it matters
And this was not a dog park it was just a regular park with a leash law.

Yep, I rolled my eyes too when I saw the first reply on this thread. Defensive much? Sounds like the man in this article told another walker in a public park to leash up their DOG and that person got overly defensive too for some reason. Our society has gone nuts. It's crazy that people now self identify with a four legged dog to the point where they take "personal" offense to a simple request that they abide by existing leash laws. Just WOW.

Here is video of witnesses who were there. This was before the man turned himself in. Apparently children play in this park too and unleashed dogs have been a problem.
