Stupid to pick up a poisonous snake, but I have helped non poisonous snakes across the road so they would not be killed...one being a 7 foot gopher snake. Been bitten many times...no big deal.
Snakes are cool.....they keep the moonbat population under control.
I sincerely respect his position regarding life. My take is that he wanted to place the snake out of harms way. This is a noble gesture in my opinion. However, there is an informed way to pick up a snake and this is where the man's judgment is lacking. I am pleased he is surviving and I hope this does not deter any future informed noble acts.
Got one here for ya Taz...
A real whacko!

What a complete total idiot.
First, apparently he knows nothing about identifying anaked, just picks one up!
Our "friendly reptile" defends itself, probly hitting moron several times.
Then to cap it all off, genius waits 4 hours before he seeks medical attention.
Unbelievable
"He likes to feed bears and stop traffic so ducks can walk across the road. Not too long ago, he tried to revive a bumblebee, keeping it in the palm of his hand with some water until it buzzed away two hours later, said John Bross, a friend and neighbor."
I can just see it, one day his neighbors will come across a bear feeding on his bee-stung and bloated carcass in the road where he was hit after trying to stop traffic for some ducks.
Oh, man, I saw this Ahole trying to get us to slow for Canadian Geese once. They were a good ways off the road but he was signaling for us to slow down. I whizzed by and should have given him the finger.
I have issues with anyone who feeds the damn bears. I catch 'em they're going to court and paying big fines. One "Weekend only" neighbor used to put food out Sunday Night before he left. We were thick with bears that summer. He was convicted 3 times. I wish he'd have been locked up for a good bit to set the measure home.
Now one knows why fifth column democrats are called copperheads. They always bite the hands of those who would help them.
Of course the guy was an idjit, every good ole redneck knows you stomp a copperhead's bloody head off before picking them up.
I bet he was confused for a bit as well. I mean he was TRYING TO HELP the snake, how could it hurt him? All you have to do is hug the monsters and find out they really only have a thorn in their paw, they aren't really dangerous. We just need to UNDERSTAND them. Right?
Sounds like the kind of idiotic thing I would.
I'm a fool for critters. Sue me.
If it was Zell MIller, he'd kill the snake. He said in the "Fahren-Hype 9/11" documentary, he didn't wait for the government to take the copperhead nest from under his home in Georgia, he just got a hoe and wacked them to pieces. Maybe Zell can teach this guy a thing or two.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I'm trying not to laugh...
What a moron.
Copperheads are nothing to mess with for any purpose. But to think that advanced, intense predator would need help crossing a road is the height of stupidity.
No more Disney cartoons for this cretin.
OOOppps,
Even me,
the softy,
I know not to touch a copperhead.
Someday he will be bear feed.
Only in those last few horrific moments will he learn that, no, that was NOT Yogi looking for a pic-a-nic basket.
By saving the snake, he would lead to the death of many other little critters.
Some anti-hunters were protesting the start of hunting season in a certain southern state -- they were interviewing each other on video for the local MSM....
Right in the middle of the sentence about the peace, tranquility and harmony of the natural order -- a barred owl swoops down about 20 yards behind the interview scene -- and skewers an adult cottontail with its talons --
The MSM reporterette and the on-duty PETA spokes-animal tried hard to ignore the disturbance..... BUT
The brief on-scene dust-up, the commotion of the takeoff that followed, and especially the awful screams of the doomed hare as the owl carried it away... were a true slice of poetic justice for the fuzzy-wuzzy tree-hugger enviro-weenie jihadis.....
It was a scream -- to say the least....
