This is so sad. I love animals. Keep him in jail where he belongs, so he can’t harm anyone else.
I agree that’s so me,he needs to be in jail.wow what would he do to a human crazy man.
So very sad!! He is a sick SOB!!
Thank God for good people. Keep him in jail and throw away the key.
He has the beginning trait of a syncopate
What kind of sick fuck does that kind of shit? Wow, downtown Antioch…neat.
Someone needs to beat him until he can’t move.
If I was to have been present during this awful event, I would have beat the shit out of that a**hole. Lets just hope he drops the soap while he is in jail.
Animals can’t speak for themselves people can. I hope karma catches up with this creep swiftly!
Wow. When someone kills another person in Antioch or seriously injures other people, a sickening amount of posts talk about forgiving the criminal. Most of of the posts don’t even talk about praying for the victim.
When a puppy is beaten 100% of the posts so far talk about killing or seriously injuring the criminal. WTF is that about..?
Well let me piss you people off…
Let’s all learn to forgive… This man must have been “bored” and we as a society have not done our duty to entertain him. This man is innocent because he must have been under a lot of stress. The real victim here is the poor man who had to beat the puppy.
Shame on everyone who can’t forgive.
LMAO. The most misunderstood words in 2015 is hypocrisy and bigot.

I like your style. Sometimes the truth hurts. I love it when say it like it is.
I feel for the puppy is it train a dog but what about Mario Woods who was shot and killed like a dog in the streets of San Francisco by the cops out there I’ll see all the comments on this page and I wish Mario woods would have gotten the comments it’s unbelievable that people would value the life of an animal more than a human being
Starts with animal cruelty then eventual murder of people, keep in prison, hopefully tough guy got a welcome beating, what a POS!
It’s spelled hypocracy, and I don’t value any animals life above a persons…people have souls, although some are sick & twisted. Regardless, any of these young P.O.S. who have no respect for life deserve an eye for an eye…!
LMAO. Thanks but I spelled hypocrisy correctly. Unless your point was to say it should be spelled hypo-cracy as in similar to crazy.
