A dog died after it was kicked "into the air" by a man who was angry
after its pensioner owner stumbled into a car, the police said today.

The tan-coloured miniature pinscher, which was being walked by a 72-
year-old man, was attacked in Woodley, near Reading in Berkshire,
Thames Valley police said.

The owner had been walking the dog on Saturday at 9.20pm when he
stumbled and fell into a car which was parked on the pavement in
Colemans Moor Lane.

Two men got out of the car and one of them, described as a black man
in his 20s, swore at the pensioner and kicked his dog into the air,
police said.

A witness took the man and his dog to a local vet where the animal
later died.

Why does the title of the thread refer to the offender as an
"immigrant"?  There is nothing in the story to suggest that he is one.

Although it appears not to be x-posted, exactly the same post is in other NGs 
where the terminology is endemic.
