A pack of wild boars fleeing hunters went on a two-hour rampage through a small southern German village, biting people and damaging cars and shops.
The weekend mayhem began during morning shopping hours in the town of Veitshoechheim, a police spokesman said Tuesday. Three boars were shot by police, a number of others were killed in traffic accidents and several bit pedestrians.
"One wild boar entered a boutique, scaring the daylights out of a saleswoman," local police said in a statement.
"She tried to hide behind the cash register. When the animal ran out of her shop it smashed the store's inventory, causing 1,000 euros ($1,314) damage." The animals caused further damage to cars amounting to several thousand euros, police added.

Probably too many Muslims in that village.

Where's the .357MAG when you need it.
Damn.
And what I want to know is...why, oh, why couldn't it have been Mecca?
It would be a shame to see them just go to waste.
This sort of thing happens daily in these here hills. I think it might be the water. Both boars and Leftists are strongly affected.
2 XP's apiece.
Macacca!! Munchin Moore, and Mother Shemale must have been on holiday in good ol Deutschland recently.
I am not a firearms expert, but if I was charged by a boar, I'd feel more comfortable with something that goes "bang" a little louder.
Flags in Arkansas were lowered to half staff today...
Where do I get those ingredients, like Juniper berries? On the other hand, will this taste like the curried goat I tried on the Cayman islands? ;-}
A well placed shot with a .357MAG will do the trick. Mind you, WELL PLACED.
Did this swarm of wild boars through the town send all the Muslims fleeing? If so, I say send these creatures running through ALL the streets of every village and city of Germany.
Remind the people who claim Islam as their salvation that Europeans have a long-standing high regard for swine and the products made from them, both as a source of food, and the manufactured products used in lederhosen and other items of daily use.
Composted pig manure is an extraordinarily good fertilizer for food production and ornamental plants. If Muslims understood just how MUCH the products of swine husbandry touched their everyday lives, they could not draw an untainted breath while in Germany.
BBQ TIME!!
My son in law once told me that he didn't shoot because raising the window would scare the hogs off anyway. I told him to compare the cost of prime pork chops,to a piece of window glass.
A hog's skull in thicker than a bull's, and at 20yrds a 30-30 loaded with 170grn will only gave a bull a nose bleed, and piss him off. Now on a charging pissed off animal the first mistake is shoot the head, WRONG!
One should aim for the neck because a charging animal's head will be down, or for a bigger target between the shoulder blades. Keep that in mind and you'll never come close to pissing yourself (very often). Any shot placed between shoulder and jaw/ear should drop a boar nicely. Boar hogs have CAPES of hardened skin in the shoulder area, and this skin can be as much as 3 inches thick. Shoulder shots must take into account a boar's massive legs, bones and the rib cage (and often there is fatty tissue there also). The demands on a bullet for such shot become greatly increased.
A quartering forward shot is not recommended with a pistol in that the vitals are well protected and hard to hit. However, a .44 mag using 240-300 HC is suitable for QFS at ranges within 75 yds.
Anal shots are suggested akin to counting to five, six, or more (or less than two) before throwing the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. However, in some situations - in defense of dog and man - it may be absolutely necessary. The goal of such shot is to break the pelvic bones and disrupt the spine, this will allow one to dispatch the boar with a coup de gras point blank range shot placed behind the ear.
The only pistol adequate for an anal shot is the .454 casull using 280-300grn PHB, XTP, Sierra Full Profile Jacket (FPJ), or HC with extra-heavy load.
In general, against boar, .44 mag Ruger Super Redhawk 9 1/2" bbl using a 240 grain HC SWC HP bullet is the tool that gets a man's job done (all shots except anal). Mr. Boar isn't going to be arguing with that piece of equipment within 75 yds (provided one can get a shot off w/in 4 seconds, else one's position will be overrun by several hundred pounds of meanness dicing one's legs up like a chef chops cabbage for a salad).
