Semi-OT: Mountain lion attacks hiker.

It seems we should now outlaw hiking in all wild areas,
since hikers are now upsetting the wildlife enough to be
attacked.

I won't stoop to the cheap shot, "a mountain-biker
would have had a chance of outrunning it..." So forget
I said that.

[censored], I was going to spend a long weekend solo up in the
southern sierras, maybe I better bring along a friend.

It only proves that mountain bikers really don't care about
wildlife. Obviously, anywhere that mountain lions are
attacking people, humans shouldn't be!

Especially since it's not true!

Yeah, the lions wouldn't be satisfied with only one. While
you are at it, bring your pets, too.

Hell! They STABBED the mountain lion! We have simply got to
ban these vicious hikers. Hells Bells, even if they didn't
try to kill the wildlife with the knife they were probably
there to destroy the plants and trees with
it. I'm glad mountain bikers cause so much less impact to
the environment.

Wasn't there a city out West somewhere, where a mountain
lion attacked someone inside the city?

I guess we need to evacuate all of the people from that city
right away. Maybe the whole state, just to be sure.

Ummmmm..... Isn't that what I just said, except that it was
a HIKER that got mauled?

Nice to see your thought processes are just as sharp
as ever ;-P

Yeah, I guess all those squashed animals and plants don't
really matter. To mountain bikers.

No. It was minding its own business in a tree when it was
shot.

Make it a 9mm or .45 friend and you can still go solo 🙂

Is that why he ended his campaign to stop road construction
after 8 years of neglible results?

We have to pave the forest in order to save it.

Wouldn't have helped the mountain biker attacked from
behind. Or anyone else, probably. The moral: stick to
paved roads.

I think he is incapable of comprehending humor. Part of his
inability to connect with people.

Certainly when he tries to make jokes, they don't even make
sense unless you already agree completely with him.

He does not have a one track mind, he has a one rail mind.
All that effort, and no real results.
