Which kind of bear is best?
I always favored the Kamchatka Grizzly my self.
Lookin’ straight up Grrrizzlay
“I took away all funding for the arts. Don’t worry, I have a plan. You can now shoot bears. There, everyone is happy.”
Huh, Florida has bears, I didn’t even think that bears lived that far south.
There’s a bunch of black bears in NW Florida. During the hell years I lived there 911 would get calls about them in yards and the advice was to leave them alone unless they are hurting someone. Animal control wouldn’t come out if there wasn’t a threat. They were usually just meandering between forest patches. And it was illegal to shoot them in most circumstances; especially since most of this was in subdivisions.
This would effectively allow cowboys to start blasting in your neighborhoods. Probably leaving rotting corpses of young black bears on the corner or in the streets.
They’re in central Florida, too. Probably all over the state.
Where the fuck do you think Gentle Ben lived riding around on his fan boat?
Ah yes, Gentle Ben, the cultural highlight of… checks notes… 1967
Who the fuck is Gentle Ben?
A fucking bear tv show where the bear lived with Clint Howard whose dad was a forest ranger in the everglades. Just like Lassie and Flipper except with a bear.
Thank God he’s protecting us from black bears The only bear that we can scare away. If a grizzly is coming at you unless you got a really powerful weapon you’re done and if a polar bear notices you you’re done. Black bear wave your arms and run at it and it’s scared away… there’s a video of two old people walking out of their house with a black bear on the porch… They don’t see the black bear but it sees them and turns around running scared as hell…
I don’t think there are grizzlies and polar bears in Florida. Maybe in a zoo?
Shit… you know those bears aren’t excluded from the law right?
It’s a Good Thing Republicans don’t pass laws that allow you to do the SAME THING to a Human!
Give you three guesses what color the bears are.
Rainbow?
Do you think a person shouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves when their life is in imminent danger?
Sure. Just make sure you figure out some sort of way to either guard against or punish
“oh noes, I feel threatened.” bang
Because only a fool would think that won’t be taken advantage of.
Kyle Rittenhouse out there making a career of exactly that.
South Park explained this quite well in “Volcano”
I can’t tell if you’re aware or not but that is how the law works in Florida
edit: to be clear, I’m saying it’s messed up and abused in that way already
It might be how it’s written, but the way it works is people get shot for a bag of skittles.
that’s what I was trying to say 😞
Don’t take it personally. The world is crazy right now and people (including me) get a little… defensive… from having to have more “I can’t believe this is something I need to talk about” conversations than I think any of us ever anticipated. Looking at it again your word choice wasn’t even off. Hope you’re having a good day.
Hope you’re having a good day.
thanks, I am 👍 hope you are as well, cheers
If you think your life’s in imminent danger because of a black bear your genetics probably should be stopped.
I was referring to their comment pointed at self defense against humans, not bears
Oh, well then my reply might have been slightly too aggressive, fair enough…
