Regardless, the fact of the matter is this guy went off of someone who was just doing what they were paid to do. He then attempted to have his pitbull dog (a breed that is notoriously known to seriously injure people and on occassion taken the life of other animals and human beings). Regardless if the dogs attacked or not, he clearly made an attempt to have the pitbull attack the victim. Not to mention, the fire extinguisher that was used to assault him! The issue is obviously with the homeowner, Jesus who attacked the cable guy and acted like a complete monster. Maybe if you paid your cable bill…then none of this might have happened. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lashes out all the time like the way he did here. I hope the justice system doesn’t fail to teach him a lesson.

I happen to know this Jesus Velasco guy. First of all those pit bulls that he owns are pocket pits. No larger than 35 lbs. These dogs are very sweet. They would not know what to do if told to attack. There are several children living in this home and people in and out of the gate and these dogs are so lazy. If you’ve ever seen a pocket pit, their legs ate very short and can barely walk much less run or charge. They are very unintelligent and I know this guy and I know he would not take the time to train these dogs to attack or even sit for that matter. I don’t doubt that he may have stuck the dog on top the van but the dog was probably more scared than the guy. This guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed and does have a temper but the dogs attacking is NOT TRUE!!! He should not get charged with assult with a deadly weapon from these scardy cat dogs.

Why is it that trashy, powerless people own these animals as pets? Pit Bulls are bred for fighting. They are banned to own in Australia. When will we follow suit?

$30,000 bail??? For that kind of assault? That seems ridculousy low. $3000 and this violent time bomb is back out and in our neighborhoods.

Anonymous, 4-8-10, 9:01 p.m., c'mon, none of that. As far as the dog goes, the Department of Animal Regulation was advised of the incident, and will review it to see if this household is a repeat offender. The dog was left at the house, as other residents were there to take custody of the dog, and they have better impulse control than Mr. Velasco. The dog was not loose or a nuisance before it was directed by a person to attack the cable technician, so there was no need to impound it.Jerry, the technician was examining a utility pole to the rear of the houses when first confronted. It was on a public right-of-way. The technician was never on Mr. Velasco's property.Wes(213) 484-344125214@lapd.lacity.org

Hmm. Sounds like there's more to the story. It's rare that a truck roll is necessary to disconnect a single customer. If he had a digital box, TW could have just sent a ping from the headend. Or if he was one of the last analog customers, the tech could have disconnected at the pole or neighborhood box. No need to even set foot on the property, usually.

What I don't understand is what a mean, violent individual was doing with a pit bull for a pet. That just seems unusual. (SARCASM)
