Some people find their appearance very beautiful. But owning a dog isn't about how it looks, unless you're raising a show dog. Saying, "...it could escape and go beserk (sic)" shows how unfamiliar you are with the breed. It's the same way people act about things they don't understand...they fear it, and come up with things they think are likely to happen, even when science shows those fears are unfounded.

The problem with pit bulls is that many people obtain them to engage them in dogfighting. It's despicable, abusive and sick. Putting these dogs in rings to fight, kill and entertain people who are demented and sick, IMO. I feel sorry for the dogs, who are not given a choice, who people judge based on looks and what they've heard and seen in the news, rather than looking at the whole and judging the whole. They usually don't put the pit bulls on TV that have done good things. Pit bulls have attacked people, but they've also saved people. Some of them are true heroes.
