Raccoons can be pretty ornery if cornered. I want to know how the coon got on him. This is what’s wrong with today’s journalists. They don’t give the basic who, what, when , where & why anymore.

Most likely...There were a lot of them when I lived in Va.

How do yo know if it wasn’t intentional and there was no raccoon? If he hit a bunch of bones I’ll believe him.

Good thing he didn’t have an assault rifle. He could have wiped-out half of Washington, D.C.
Mmm. Wait a minute ....
