Aug 3 2007Ving Rhames' dogs killed a man

ving-rhames-dogs.jpg

ABC is reporting that Ving Rhames' four dogs mauled and killed one of his employees. The 40-year-old man was a caretaker who watched over the dogs and his home, and he was found this morning dead on the front lawn covered in bites. The police are still investigating and trying to determine if it was the dog bites that killed him or if he suffered a heart attack or something else.

Frist.

Who's on first?

i mean, getting killed by dogs always sucks but ...who the fuck is that?

sorry # 2 and 3. It doesnt even matter whos first. why the fuck do you retards even care?? Are you a fukin 4 year old?

WHERE MY DOGS AT....

WHERE MY DOGS AT....

WHERE MY DOGS AT....

Man, that would suck ass.

I would just ninja kick the dogs, myself.

has anyone seen my cat or does anyone know where john popper and his night vision goggles are?

Is Ving the dude that got banged in the ass in Pulp Fiction?

Who let the dogs out? WHO WHO WHO WHO

oh yeah the pound, being euthanized . Ali please god please tell you you know who Ving Rhames is, if not I advise you to Buy not rent Pulp Fiction right now...GO, or I will come down there and get midevil on your ass.

negroes and their violent animals.. I wish we could send them all back to Africa..

It's not the dogs faults, he obviously lead a trail of cheeseburgers on the ground up to his penis, and they got carried away.
I'm sure he enjoyed it whilst it lasted, though.

15- I think your looking for the Klan blog site. Its www.mymomismysisterandcousin.com

Very tragic. Poor guy.

i hope 15 gets gang banged in the ass by violent animals from Africa...like a hippo and a giraffe and then I hope a hyena laughs while intercourse happens

When interviewed Ving reported that his gardner was "Pretty fuckin far from ok"

the dude probably died then they started to bite his ass because Ving hadn't fed them in a few days.

I hardly doubt they can call it a mauling when all they found were a few puncture wounds on the guy.

i especially love when they have "breaking news" but don't know a damn thing about what really happened. jesus the media is a bunch of retards.

Damn....what is it with..........nevermind.

Did Micheal Vick win any money on it??


.

Christ, that dog looks like it's the size of a goddam horse. Just one of those things could probably kill a person (no matter how badass they think they are), much less 4 (dogs, that is). For Ving's sake, I hope (sorta) CA doesn't have one of those laws where if your dog kills someone, they can send your ass to jail. Although even if they do, I doubt they'd prosecute, and if they did, he wouldn't do time anyway. But that guy's family is probably already filing a huge wrongful death lawsuit. I don't blame them. If your dog kills someone, their family should sue the shit outta you until you live in a cardboard box and beg for change.

damn that thing is a fucking monster look how huge it is!!

I hope that 19 gets mugged by the Crips or shot at by the Bloods so that he can start to see why #15 feels the way he does.

Bet Vick wishes he had them bruisers.

# 20- LOL- Good fucking stuff! And #7, 8 and 9... way to get your fucking point across... Pete and Repeat and fucking repeat again...

I want to go over to Ving's house and kill all of his dogs with my AK-47.

What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' mastiffs, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

20--niiiiiiice!!!

just thinking about that scene gives me the heebies

jeebies, too.

yeah.

I'm sure that Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson called Ving with something like this to say "You ain't got no problem, Ving. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there and chill them niggers out and wait for the Wolf, who should be coming directly."

This shit is between me, you, and Mr. Soon-To-Be-Living-The-Rest-of-His-Short-Ass-Life-In-Agonizing-Pain Rapist Mastiff here

Man...
I can't even be funny about this one.
And I thought I was having a bad Friday.

In the front yard, your ass goes down. Say it

Take him to the kennel, sick the dogs on his ass, we'll find out for goddamn sure what he knows and what he don't.

Oh, man...now I feel bad. This does fucking suck. But I couldn't help posting from Pulp Fiction.

I'm a bad man, a very bad man. I'm going to go back to looking at Avril's tits.

# 37 LOL- I'm glad we all agree it's one of the best movies ever... Amen

#6

Why does it bother you so much? Just skip over them and move on. Sheesh.

Yeah, Ving got most of the good lines in that movie. Him and Sam Jackson. But Bruce got a good one, too:

Zed is dead, honey.

Lovely, I didnt do that on purpose I swear. Goeff I'm laughin my ass off over here, I think I have to watch PF tonight and give my women a foot rub, "I got my technique down and everything"

Yea I feel bad for the dude but its fun busting on Ving. Go read my comment about Kim Kasahardin shopping. ;)

Well Damn- I thought you were brilliant there for a moment.. . :) Although it may be even more funny now since you didn't mean it...

- - - Rapist Mastiff. LALOL! I'm just thinking of the look on Marselus Wallace's face while saying that.

#30 & 35 - beautiful. Just brings a tear to my eye.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the man who died. I do hope that it wasn't from a dog mauling. You would think that a man like Ving would have security cameras around his house, so maybe everything got caught on tape & the truth will be known quickly.

I want to pleasure Maria de Madeiros orally.

#26. Love your syrup hon.

You think this shit was an accident? Don't. Fuck. With. Mr. Rhames.

I hope number 26 gets fucked in the ass by 15

Haha! The shits coming down on all the fricken animal abusers. I hope it keeps up because I hate people that abuse animals. Dogs aren't vicious unless you make them that way by mistreating them (and that includes pit bulls). Dogs are awesome little earth angels. My brother has a mastiff and he is HUGE but a gentle giant. As for the dead guy, I really feel for him and his family. What a horrible, terrifying way to go. Talk abt biting the hand that feeds you.

No domesticated dog regardless of the size turns on the person who feeds it unless 1) it is trained attack dog and someone tells it to or 2) it is in-breed and unstable. I hate when the media claims the animal did it before getting the facts. Sure sounds like the guy was dead and the dogs had at it, when the housekeeper got there and tried to "rescue" the assitant she got in between the animal and it meal and she got bit. This crap pisses me off, like the kid a few summers ago who was fishing in hip deep murky water with chum on his hip in a bag and was astounded when he got bit by a shark. PEOPLE ARE STUPID NOT ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets kill them or the bear who mauls the ass hole camper who comes between her and her cubs !!!

And noone ever listens to me when I say dogs are animals and as such, don't belong with people... except maybe in our plates, but that's an other story.

Mastiffs are generally non-aggressive dogs, and they're pretty loyal to their family. If they happen to feel that they - or their family - is being threatened, then by all means they will attack. Maybe the assistant did something that threatened the dog...

I know Panja American Mastiffs are much more aggressive, and much more likely to attack a human being than the regular American Mastiff.

Here are some links if you'd like to look for yourself:

http://www.puppydogweb.com/mastiff.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Mastiff

Four dogs / mastiff breed + 9 puppies = pack /\ problem waiting to happen. I can't wait to hear the inevitable "They were such good dogs! Never hurt anyone! Something must've happened!". Sure. Something called dogs bred for killing should not be kept as pets.

I have more respect for animals than most people. At least if they kill it's for a reason.

People breed dogs to be aggressive, train them to kill and then are surprised when they do it. Domestication only goes so far.

The viciousness of the dogs, or lack thereof, is still unknown. To say that dogs won't attack unles they've been trained to is stupid. A dog is an animal and animals can sometimes bite when startled. The big ones don't know their own strength and can rip a big hole in your arm without really trying. Obviously, if a dog is trained to attack, it's probably more likely to, but until we know the extent of the man's injuries, speculating about the behavior of the dogs and why/how they attacked him is pointless. Maybe they started fighting and he tried to separate them. If one of those big mofos knocked him down, another one could easily grab him by the throat and rip open his jugular. He'd bleed out in minutes. See, I've watched CSI. Eat your heart out, Grissom.

#26 and #15

i would like to introduce you to my italian american friend with a Connie Corso or the jackass couple in San Francisco that had a Canary (dog not bird so dont get stupid) that ripped that woman to sheds becuase they smelt her mentrual blood. then i would like to put you in a "federal fuck you in the ass penitentiary" where you will be sodomized until your eyes bleed and you sneeze the semen of 20 different inmates.

and that is just for being biggots.

♦41♦ Hello mia....what R U ..afraid of people?

Mie name is Reciprocity . I ken spel reel good. I hav a italian frend. I can smelt biggots frum milz away..

That dog in the pic is friggin huge, probably weighs as much as Ving himself.

What a way to die, poor bastard, hope Ving gets his ass sued by the family of the dead bloke.

You see, this profession - being a middle-aged caretaker - is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't.

mia...I can zmell the bacon all the way down here...
your Mazter keepz U locked up for dayz
haz he beaten U that much that U won't even zpeak?
poor U....little zcardykat mia...afraid to talk...GOOD!!!

It's not uncommon that if a person has a heart attack that he will be mauled by a dog/dogs. I know this from first hand experience as it happened to someone in my family and the cause of death was ruled as a heart attack. You cannot just assume that it was the dog attack that killed him. Since he was the caretaker and familiar with the dog, I think it's very likely that's what happened . The cause of the unfortunate man's death will be determined.

I FUCKING HATE ALL DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE SHOULD PUT THEM ALL DOWN AND LIVE LIFE PET FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly S. #66 -- When I say my prayers tonight, I will pray that God gives you even some micro intelligence -- or that he puts you to sleep, like all the other "useless animals". There is no place for someone like you in a good world, and the space you take up can benifit the more intelligent and compassionate -- like, for example, a dog!!

There is no f-ing need to have aggressive dogs, all of the broke ghetto trash and gangstas that need them to compensate for their penis should just fuck right off. They are the ugliest dogs ever and are always vicious so all of those biatches who are whining about them being mistreated or it being in their nature can just go and play with a couple of pit bulls, we won't have to listen to your shit for much longer. These sorts of breeds shouldn't even exist, it's only ghetto folk who breed them anyway. Those dogs just scream poor-ass hobo. I hope Ving gets the shit sued out of him.

Get a dog that will actually like you, and not one that's so retarded it will tear you apart if you get within a 10 mile radius of its food.

@55

Stop talking shit, sweetheart. "Maybe the assistant did something...". Since when was that an excuse for a dog to kill? Mindless idiots like you should stop to think before you start spreading your own particular brand of human hatred. No dog takes precedence over any man no matter what. This same breed is banned in the UK for a reason and latest news reports coming in are confirming that he was killed by two of these animals. You're such a dog expert? What do you know about pack mentality? Where was top dog? What happens when top dog leaves a pack? Get your head out your silly namby-pamby, know-fuck-all arse.

first

negroes raise their dogs like they raise their bastard kids.. Violent and stupid..

@ 69 I agree with most of what you're saying but:

1. No, the assistant "doing something" the dog didn't agree with is not an excuse, but seeing as this persons job was to look after the dogs/house he must of been there a while ergo the dogs must of known him. A dog will not just randomly go for someone they know unless severely startled, mistreated or abused.

2. Pack mentality dictates that if the top dog initiated the fight, the others would join in. Lower pack members do not randomly initiate fights without pure good reason to meaning either the top dog initiated the fight or the assistant aggrivated a lower pack member. I'm guessing the latter seeing as the pack was more then the seemingly two dogs he was mauled by.

Also, Bull Mastif's are not banned in all of the U.K, they are however banned from council estates in Dublin along with breeds such as the GSD, Doberman & the staffy because no-nothing fucks use larger & stockier breeds for "protection & guarding" and show these dogs no feeling.

@72

The animals in question are Fila Brasileiros and that breed is banned in the UK. Dublin is heading in the right direction and the UK will follow soon. All mastiffs and bull terriers should be banned. That they're being handled and raised by idiots doesn't alter the fact that it is in their nature to kill. No-one in their right mind can say keeping a highly unpredictable dog in order to maul a human being to death is justifiable. This issue is constantly confused: it's not an issue of animal rights; it's human rights. Your points raised in 1. and 2. may well be correct but they're speculative at best and still avoid the matter of inherent nature that is constantly overlooked in these situations. I'll be interested to see the outcome but I suspect, as has been the case in a spate of recent US dog attacks, that Rhames' leaving his house affected the pack order. Time will tell but I hope that man had relatives and I hope they're looking to get a big payday because if they consult any dog behavioural expert, his testimony will get it for them. Mindless 'animal lovers' who know nothing about animals and insist on anthropomorphising them at the risk of human health and safety should just butt the fuck out. This is a human being mauled to death by dogs. Get your priorities in order.

Wow #71...what "negro" fucked you up your ass and made your mom lick the shit off the tip of it, that has you so mad?

Wow #71...what "negro" fucked you up your ass and made your mom lick the shit off the tip of it, that has you so mad?

^^Gee, don't you people ever come up with anything new?

*LOL*

this was posted 3 hours ago... so the dogs did not kill the man.

"Authorities have taken away four large dogs--three mastiffs and one bulldog--but cops believe the man is likely to have suffered a cardiac arrest as he was running away from the canines, because none of the wounds from the attack appear to have been life threatening. "

This is quite a way to get rid of ignorant employees and it's all legal.

This is really a bad accident.Anybody knows where i can get these Mastiffs?

Chuck Norris fact: Chuch Norris eats brazilian mastiffs for lunch

@78

I don't suppose it's occurred to you - try and think about it for a minute - that four attacking mastiffs could cause a person to have a heart attack has it? now, would that mean the dogs did or didn't kill him or do you think that maybe if a pigeon had flown past, he would have dropped dead of a heart attack too? try and think...

and where is your source? are you sure that's three hours ago? because this is from two hours ago and i'm going to make a tiny bet (in line with your mental capacity) that it's a slightly more credible source. now, try and think...

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=200&objectid=10455873

Focus on this specifically: "the exact cause of death is pending the coroner's ruling". If some of those words are too big for you, ask the nearest grownup for help.

Shit happens... Dogs can be nice dogs can be mean. Espeiclaly when they are protecting their home. Doesn't matter if your black or white. This is retarded.

The dogs got the wrong man. It was supposed to be Ron Mexico.

FIRST?

@73. "All mastiffs and bull terriers should be banned."

I'm afraid your ignorance is showing. The mastiff (AKA English Mastiff) has one of the gentlest temperaments of any dog. You are correct that both bullmastiffs and fila brasileiros are aggressive dogs, and need to be trained more carefully. But the mastiff is not a "naturally" vicious dog, and painting the entire breed that way is just stupid.

People should be responsible for their dogs. Now, even if a dog attack led to this man's death--something we do not yet know--it would be an extremely rare event. Making policy based on such a rare event would betray both deep cowardice and depressing idiocy.

Number 20, Geoff I want to marry you.

In my city, you see all these young gangstas and gangsta wannabes walkling around with their pit bulls - they put these heavy chains and Yale locks on their necks, I'm told, to build up their neck strength. I feel so sorry for these dogs - you know they aren't properly trained and spend most of their lives chained up in a tiny backyard. There should be some kind of outreach to these people by the Humane Society - offer them Parvo shots or something just to get them in to educate them about their animals. People get hurt all the time. A few days ago a female mail carrier was bit to shit by one. Once they strike out like that and attack a human who wasn't breaking in on the premises, or attacking a member of the family, they probably should be shot, but it's so sad for the dog - it didn't aske to be raised by assholes.

@86

Another 'expert'. Opinion is not ignorance, mate. And you might find it all very 'depressing' and 'cowardly' but the fact remains that Dublin is just the beginning. I know for a fact that three London councils are watching developments there very closely. And these are not 'rare' or isolated incidents, either. These breeds - AKA whichever type you want to quibble over - were never intended as pets. I find it pretty ignorant of you and others to want to persist in defending these dogs whilst completely ignoring how terrified that man must have been just before he died. I'll tell you what is rare - a man dying of a heart attack at 40.

@88. Xtina

It's a nice idea but I've been involved in such a programme in the UK and they're not interested. It might be different in the States but chances are they've got the dog for all the wrong reasons so they last thing they'll care about is proper training or care.

People! That man was a caregiever so he made a fatal mistake somewhere. I keep huge dogs since I remember myself - anything like that never happened. So it was only his faul! Probably he wanted good money but was not experienced enough to be around dogs... English bulldog is a sweet little dog! I keep one right now and had lots of them before. I understand when dogs bite a stranger - its owner's fault! No doubts at all! But caregiever?

.........who let the dogs out???????????????????????????

i got to start reading more of the comments that was clearly unoriginal and i apologise it wont happen again

what #59 said and adding that they kill children too, even after being around the same child for years so fuck all you people (including 2 of my brothers) who keep those unstable, untrainable ill-bred throwback breeds of dogs that also shit like fucking elephants.

That being said, all those references to Pulp Fiction bring up bad memories as it was an awesome movie but at least 3 people deserved the Oscar before John Revolta - especially Samuel L. Jackson.

Nagger please I am sure you are just on here to stir up shit, but I know there are a lot of white people (rednecks) who own violent breeds of dogs and are involved in dogfighting. White people are not all wonderful and well educated like yourself :)

Wow. Poor guy.

#94 : I see you know 2 of my brothers.....

That's what happens when you are not "HANDS ON" with your dogs. Hollywood people buy really cool and expensive dogs and have someone else raise them.

Fucking assholes.

#72, you're right about pack mentality.

I've seen it too. The dogs are being dogs, doing what comes naturally. I winder if they're all male. Then again, female packs are heavier fighters; nastier.

Don't buy a dog du jour unless you've done your homework. Invest in mutts people, they're less koo-koo.

hope he didn't get mauled to death. the last thing those of us who love big dogs needs is one more story to scare people to death (which is what may have happened). also great klan comment The Bor! funny.

For the most part - none of you know shit about Mastiffs. #55 an American Mastiff is a Mixed breed of a Mastiff (from England) and a Anatolian. a Panja is also a mutt someone is trying to pass off as a breed. The TWO mastiffs on Ving Rhames property were MASTIFFS (originally from England) And the Media spewed it's half baked bullshit on all of you. This man died not from a heart attack or from being mauled. He has superficial scratches from the dogs trying to figure out what was wrong with him...no blood no bites. Both Mastiffs were obviously well adjusted and calm as you can clearly see from the video. But hey if you want to believe the propaganda from the media.....you go right ahead and continue with your head up your butt.

I knew the guy and I knew the dogs. #100. is right.

i don't know what kind of ship some of u came from,but we domesticated the dog, we are responsible for them,if raised with love they will all be good unlike some of us,the mastiff and the bulldog are 2 of the most gentle breeds on the planet,something is wrong with this picture,dogs are loyal, devoted beings devoted to pleasing us and give us unconditional love,i own 4 english bulldogs and 2 pugs, they are like my children,be real, j
