I wonder if the jogger was wearing a MAGA hat.

[Red Badger]

I’m impressed.....................

[KittyKares]

It looks pretty strange to me, like will they fine him for defending himself if he used a weapon?

[2banana]

Can we get him to run the Senate?

I'd like to see a picture of this guy. Pretty badass to kill a mountain lion with your bare hands.

 

But it was him or the mountain lion. Someone was gonna die that day.

 

Glad he won.

Heck, even Davy Crockett had a knife when he kilt that ‘ere b’ar. Course, he was only three when he done it, y’know.

Ripped off his sweat shirt and stuffed it down the animals throat? Then retrieved the shirt and used it for a bandage?

An old friend of mine said it is always better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six.

Hi.

IIRC there is a FReeper who killed a bear with his bare hands.

Maybe a K-bar too.

I think he should be the next Darwin Awards judge.

A dead cat has more of a right to privacy

So we go from HIPAA (for Hippos) to CATAA for Cats?

I think I would get an attorney before I answered those “many questions.”

I didn’t even know Mel Gibson was a runner.

Dead cats tell no tales.

Yes, indeed.

In the case being discussed, I hope everyone involved realizes that the human saving his life should be all that matters. This used to be a no brainer.

That’s what I thought of too. Someone with a better memory will be along shortly (or the freeper himself).

I have read that one should try to fight off a cougar if attacked as they may try for easier prey. Brown bears iirc you should play dead and protect your head, black bears and grizzly should try to fight?

[Darksheare]

Friend of yours?

[RatRipper]

An account that I read said the cat was a juvenile. Size matters. Not saying this was not a big deal, but that depends on how big the cat was. From what I have read, we just don’t know that.

Nahh, he had a pair of Nancy Pelosi’s underwear and rammed it down the cat’s throat, the cat choked on it’s own vomit.
