He turned around, and looked. There, no more than 20 feet away, its feet on a tipped over trash can, was a huge black bear. The bear did not notice him immediately.

But Greg’s dog had come out, and peaked around the corner. It growled and emitted a bark, Grrrr..ru..ruff! The bear jumped over the downed trash can, landed with a Woof!, and charged directly at Greg.

This isn’t news, it’s isn’t an editorial - it’s chat.

I agree about email. It’s the same with a comments section for a paper or blog. If they don’t have one they are cowards

When I saw Bear, hotel, and Tennessee, I immediately thought of Gatlinberg.

Around here and in many other states one can only discharge their firearm at an wild animal(outside of legal hunting) if human life is threatened. Guy should of said he was in fear of his friend Greg’s life.

Nice selective edit. Context matters. From the article:

Greg was not cited for shooting the bear. He was cited for reckless endangerment and unlawful discharge of a firearm.

The cops would rather he have perished being eaten to death by a 400 pound predator than actually discharged a firearm in self defense.

God help us. It’s come to this. The cops actually filed charges against him.

selective edit.

As opposed to what? A random edit?

Didn’t one of the motel chains have a sleeping bear as a logo?

Herschel could use a little more time in the classroom: “peaked” around the corner”?

“I killed a bear.
Not there
over there
I didn’t shoot him.

I was drunk!
I scared him to death!”
