Why the idiot isn't shooting the bear with something besides a camera is beyond me.

Because it is a Black Bear and they rarely attack. Some are just a bit too social. We sometimes have black bears knock over our trash can.

Do not be fooled. We have a 700 lbs one in this area that has escaped repeatly after aggressively invading homes.

I'll bring a gun when I go to the deep woods thank you. Unlike people like you, I do not think wild animals are tame and harmless. The only wild animals that are safe to be around are the ones that have either already eaten. However, if you approach their dens, or if they have young ones around, even the fact they just had a 4 course meal will not stop them from killing you.

This is a list of known fatal black bear attacks on humans by decade. This is from Wikipedia which means it is probably under reporting the actual number of attacks by 20% to 30%. So you still think that black bears will not attack humans?.
