- "As soon as it saw me, it went straight through the screen here, out the back. It was a loud, loud noise, boom! And into the pool and over the fence,” Tenney said."

You may meet a stranger.
You may meet a stranger,
Across a crowded room!”

Better a mountain lion coming in your open front door than a couple of illegal aliens with machetes.

There are four legged predators - and there are two-legged predators.

Don't leave your door open, ya dummy!

“...Better a mountain lion coming in your open front door than a couple of illegal aliens with machetes...”

For sure!
One could probably make a pretty good case and get off lightly for defending oneself inside their own home against a mountain lion. Making a case for defending oneself from machete-weilding illegals in one’s home? Probably not so much given the insanity we live in today. Spit.

He told the Genie of the magic lamp, “I wish to meet a cougar” and wasn’t specific enough...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. I had a fox walk up to my open porch door once and look in at me. It then turned around and left. But it just seemed curious.

[hinckley buzzard]

At least he had the sense not to try to take a selfie with it.

"The mountain lion walked in through the open front door of the suburban home and ran out the back door after spotting the human inside."

The lion didn't turn around and go out the front door. It navigated through the house and used the back door instead. This lion is way too familiar with the house.
