After Montana grizzly mauling, Idaho man attacked online
indepent record ^ | 10/26/18 | ELI FRANKOVICH Spokesman-Review

Posted on 10/28/2018 2:12:58 PM PDT by ColdOne

After the mother grizzly bear finished mauling him, after he rubbed the bear spray from his eyes and hiked a half-mile cradling a broken arm, Bob Legasa found himself under attack from a meaner, more unpredictable and entirely more vicious animal: online commenters.

“I have never been so threatened in my life,” said Legasa, a Hayden, Idaho, resident. “There are literally hundreds of threats wishing that I would die. Wishing that I would die a slow, painful death. It came, from all people, the peaceful grass-eating vegan community.”

Legasa was attacked by a mother grizzly bear Oct. 13 while bowhunting for elk in Montana. As he and his partner walked through tall sagebrush – between 6 and 8 feet – they startled a grizzly bear cub and its mother.

They are waiting to start the next riot and mass killing.
99%+ are liberal mental cases involved.
Listen to the rantings of the liberals in congress calling for violence and those who committed mass murder like obama with the guns to Mexican cartels and the Clintons from the tainted blood back in Arkansas that killed thousands to the dozens dead who knew the clintons and winded dying violently.

Well I would say it has gotten worse with the internet. While people may have felt the same, they were less likely to hear it, and if they did they had to confront the person in person. If they wrote them a latter it cost them money. One takes courage and the other takes effort. The internet removes both of those obstacles. So yes, it is worse now because the audience in no longer just local, it’s worldwide. That means you can attack and remain anonymous with no additional cost.

i know i am worse. Before, if i knew you were a liberal, i dismissed you as a clueless nutbar. Now, if i know you are liberal, i get myself out of the conversation before I say something like “It’s people like you that ruin our country”
Old friends, new friends, family.... i am disgusted. I don’t want to hear the other side. I have lost all patience. They are WRONG.
and thats not cool.

I know the feeling, but there’s little more that’s both legal and practical that I can do.

Wish I could set up a defensible residence...but even if I had the gear, I’d still need trigger pullers.

I wouldn’t say that increased sensitivity to evil makes you worse.

Given how little control the forces of evil seem to have these days, keeping one’s finger on the trigger hardly seems extreme.

The legal end is what’s holding me back.

I live in NY, after all.

I went to a shooting range with my son in NH recently to try out some handguns.

First time ever.

I did REALLY well. :)

Is that bear photo doctored, or did something really bad happen right after it was taken?

You can not have a sane conversation with someone who believes in killing a human fetus but saving a tree.

Rather than them getting rid of us, I envision us getting rid of them.

I don’t know, I’ve often wondered. I think the anonymity of the internet has a lot to do with it. Look at history, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, the Khmer Rouge, Saddam, all in fairly recent history.

The R & T are located next to each other, so a common mistake. Do it all the time. It always bugs me when I see loose typed instead of lose when they were obviously meaning to say lose. I still don’t correct. I corrected someone one time when they used an when it should have been an a (with the comment that if the word following starts with a vowel then use an, otherwise, a is most likely what is used). Many people jumped me. Funny enough the person whom I corrected, and I really did it only so she could send it far and wide, thanked me. But after that I only respond with the misspelling if it actually spelled another word and if made the statement funny, so in turn I am responding to be funny as well. Perhaps that is what Tabasco is doing. Either way, it shouldn’t concern you. We all make mistakes. We are human.
