According to the American Temperament Test Society, Pit Bulls are among the coolest characters in the dog world, and rate better than Collies and Retrievers and Cocckers and so on. It's part of the reason they're so popular for zootherapy, helping veterans, elderly people and children who are traumatized or with terminal conditions, as well as search & rescue and first response animals.
Pitbulls aren't nasty, aggressive dogs unless you make them that way.
:D

I actually came in here to say that this is a pretty rare occurrence and this is easily something that can be taken out of context but then you came in here with your 'do a little research' bullshit and pissed all over anyones argument for owning one... bravo.
They are naturally nasty and aggressive and they aren't screened for violence or anything else which is why they will never be accepted as a breed in the AKC. You have to train them not to be violent, just as you would most dogs. The difference is THEY ARE STRONG AND FUCKING DANGEROUS compared to ANY BREED. Yes, even the evil terrible chow chow, and the ominous labrador retriever that is clearly killing more people than rabid alligators according to your cherry picked stats..
You shouldn't be advising anyone on this subject, you clearly don't know dogs at all.
