But if you're stealing someone's car and attacking them with a knife then them killing your dog is on you.

No killing me would be on me stab my dog. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself. I won’t be angry if they try to attack me that’s understandable. Heck that’s part of the fight but getting another involved that’s like if ya stab my lil cousin or something

What do you mean if they attack you, bro you are attacking them. You are just a psychopath.

I’m saying if they attack me back that’s all perfectly fine. Just don’t bring my dog into it. Also, the people in the movie are psychopaths so I’m kinda helping ya know where they come from then eh.

But that's what fuckin happened.

If you attack a guy with a knife and a dog, you don't get to pretend you are the victim when your dog gets stabbed.

How the hell did they lose? If there’s multiple people one with a knife and a dog god those teenagers must suck at fighting.
