So, a bear wanders into a campsite and snatched a families cooler. The Dad, a former Marine, threw a log at the bear when it started charging his 6 year old son after the kid threw a shovel. He killed the bear.
A log.
He threw a log at the bear.
And killed it.
He also got a ticket for not securing his campsite properly.
But he killed a bear with a stick.
Slee
Now if he’d chopped his firewood with a bear…
so the bear was logged off?
ETA: I missed the part about the ticket. Puh-lease!
Seriously. What a pussy.
Oh, you just know that this will be on The Colbert Report in a day or two.
“This weeks number 2 threat: BEARS!!”
And, as it has been explained to me when I repeated this story to a friend:
There are no ex-Marines or “former” Marines.
I think he should make a rug out of that bear. 'Twould make a fitting memento.
“You see that rug son? I killed that with a log! Now get my slippers.”
That’s nothin’. Davey Crockett killed a bear when he was only three.
Davey Crockett was a Marine?
Oh, and maybe this was Davey Crockett, too:

Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS.
I thought the guy needed to teach the kid basic rules of camping. You don’t irratate a bear by hitting it with a shovel, then daddy has to save your ass. The kid was smiling away, no clue how close he came to killing himself.
Yeah, obviously once junior threw the shovel the dad had to do something (letting him get eaten would probably upset the mother and its value in teaching the kid a lesson would be questionable)–but I hope he explained to his son that throwing a shovel at a wild bear is one of the dumbest things you can do when it hasn’t acted aggressively towards you and is in fact leaving your area.
There was a bear in a tree, and some rowdy kids were walking around unsupervised. I didn’t point out the bear, because I figured they’d do something stupid.
Log, log it’s big it’s heavy it’s wood!
Log, log it’s better than bad, it’s good!
Seriously though, how many innocent bears have to die because of stupid 6 year olds with shovels?
More than just a Marine
But he only did this after his six year old son threw a shovel at the bear.
My god can you imagine eating with this family? You just try reaching for the last drumstick. I dare you.
There was a guy near here that killed a rabid bobcat last week with his bear (sic) hands. Ok, he strangled it while it was attacking him. A lot, lot smaller than a bear, but still pretty macho and he might have saved others from a similar attack.
Daveeeeey! Davey Crockett…!
Nukin’ Commies for Liber-teeeee!
Yeah, but what if the bear was mature! Shit-killin’ three year olds…
Yeah. Those crazy Marines. Always taking matters into their own hands. Instead of maybe using their brains or something.
