PETITION LETTER:
Dear State’s Attorney Broccolino,
A dog suffered near-fatal injuries after he was allegedly stabbed. The suspect reportedly disemboweled the Yorkshire Terrier during a violent outburst in his home. We demand justice for this innocent dog.
Howard County police arrested Omar Gertman on charges of felony animal cruelty after he allegedly stabbed his dog, Boo. Gertman initially assaulted an acquaintance in his home, police stated, before destroying some property and then attacking Boo. Boo was reportedly disemboweled, and most did not expect him to survive. Thanks to a quick response by police and medical personnel, Boo did survive and has since been adopted by a new family. Gertman is being held without bail at the Howard County Detention Center and he will face his charges at a later date.
The person who nearly killed this poor dog is a danger to animals and must be punished. We demand that you seek the maximum penalty in this case.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Dear State’s Attorney Broccolino,
Could you lock him up for a good number of years? He is a threat to dangerous to every living thing!
Thank you!
P. S. Wish someone did that to him too!
May this jerk reap what he has sown. Give him the same treatment or hang him in the town square. Such a coward who thinks he is a real man. Shame on this piece of sh-t. This innocent little dog did not deserve this kind of treatment. Anyone with this kind of anger needs to be done away with.
This oxygen thief is a danger and of no use to anyone or anything. Lock it up and throw away the key.
Why is it always the dog or any animal is the one gets hurt the worst? This sick evil scumbag needs to be put away long term, like forever. I was pleased to read that this sweet little dog was adopted. I pray the rest of his little life is the best he could wish for.
What a wasted piece of humanity – BIG MAN, attacking a defenseless little Yorkie! Thank God Boo survived!
SIGNED & SHARED!!!
Do it to the bastard!
SA Broccolini,
I sincerely hope you show leadership for pleading this criminal receive the maximum penalty of jail and fines. Time to set a precedence!
My only hope is this jerk will receive the same treatment and mercy from his jail mates as he did for the dog he tried to kill.
May he be within an inch of his life every single day.
MAX PENALTY TO THIS SADISTIC BASTARDS ROTTEN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!MOST PAY VET BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just want to be GOD for day!!!!
OMG please harsher sentence and a larger fine. This is a very disturbed and dangerous man. PLEASE lock him up. That poor little dog was tortured by this man. Get him off the street!
Instigation of the death penalty and nothing less is required for this POS scumbag who attempted to kill this poor dog.I dare this bastard to meet with me face to face.OH YESSSSS!!!!
It takes a sick person to do this to a innocent animal. It would be a dead person if that were my furbaby
Disgusted
Punished the son of !##$%% please!!!
This sick, cruel and soulless person should be punished to the full extent of the law. Any person who could harm a poor defenseless animal, is just pure evil. I hope this sweet dog has the most wonderful forever home.
He’s dangerous and should not be out around people or animals if he has that much rage and such a bad temper. He should be put away or put down. They do it to aggressive animals.
Do you a solid. Any tips as to where this guy is and I’ll do the same thing to him in my fit of rage. I’ll just make sure he has no chance of coming back from it alive.
I hope they burn & cut off his dick for nearly killing this poor little fur baby. What kind of sick bastard would harm a poor defenseless animal. I know if he was next 2 me I would have no problem torturing him slowly so he could feel the pain this poor dog felt. I am praying 4 the recovery of this poor baby & hope he gets a good home.
Someone does animals like that. Don’t need them. Put them in jail.
This man should be by lethal injection. Why should us tax payers pay for his life when apparently HE has no regard for any life!
