I noticed that too - unbelievable. "How could you kill the mama bear? You should have played dead!"

Seems like the world's ****tiest people end in "ist." Environmentalist, feminist, animal rights activist. I rest my case.

That was a mother bear, right?

So in essence, he hit a girl....just thinking outside the box a little.

There is a local legend of a guy around here, The called him crazy horse. This guy is huge, his hands are twice the size of a normal mans. I have met him, He is probably in his early 70's now. I thought he was a pretty nice guy, but from what I understand , when he drinks, he is mean as hell, and he loves to fight. He is banned from nearly every bar within 20 miles, and every bar has a crazy horse fight story. Any how, the story says he was at the county fair sometime in the early 70's, and was watching a bear perform for its trainer. He had been drinking heavily. They say he jumped the fence, smacked the bear right in the face, and dropped him in one punch. I dont know how much of it is true, but I have heard this story told time and time again. I guess he got in a little bit of trouble with the law for it.

Guy looks like a tweaker. I bet poor innocent mama bear and her offspring stumbled onto his meth lab.
