‘Punisher’ star Jon Bernthal says pit bulls are victims of ‘dog racism’

The Odyssey star Jon Bernthal is drawing a line in the sand regarding a debate over pit bulls.

The celeb spoke his mind about how ridiculous the fear regarding dogs like pit bulls has become, saying they've become victims of dog racism without many people realizing it.

Showing up on The Howard Stern Show, the star opened up about how he managed to turn his life around after getting arrested in 2009 for knocking a man out with a punch. The star added that this incident made him feel so disgusted with himself and earned him nearly three years of probation.

It was said to have been instigated by a male who grabbed his pit bull named Boss while they were on a walk, then followed them after the star took the dog back. "It's a myth, and people have got to stop that. They're great dogs like others!" he continued.
