I've experienced both extremes with pits. One of my neighbor's have a pit that is scared of it's own shadow and the other neighbor had one that was the meanest dogs ever been around. He was brought up nicely just mean as hell, even the neighbor was afraid of it. I imagine alot are deamonized as I've had more issues with other breeds roaming than the pits running loose. I guess the issue really is they can be so powerful when they do bite it's bad. Perhaps they have been bred to be mean by some even. One of my parents neighbors had a son who purposely made his pits mean, he ended up in jail over it as they attacked people more than once even after the courts told him no more dogs period.
