Barley worse then our presidential candidates
This is the 2nd story I have seen this week like this. The other one was about a guy who faked his kidnapping on FB live with his dad watching for ransom money.

Seems pretty obvious why someone would do this. To start shit.

Why would someone do this, so badly ?
Probably lost a bet.

He killed it with his bare hands! It was an 80 pound juvenile. So I'm still not sure if I'd fight the wolf or the full grown mountain lion. I have a feeling that one of those body builder chimps could kill either. I don't know. Wolfs and Chimps probably don't ever cross paths. But my Indian friends tell me that monkeys and dogs are mortal enemies.

He said he tried to scare off the animal by putting up his arms and screaming at it, but the mountain lion charged at him and pounced.
The big cat, which weighed about 80 pounds, sunk a tooth into his wrist and another into his thumb. It then scratched his back with its front claws and gouged his thighs with his hind legs.
As he struggled with the animal, they both tumbled off the trail.
“But during that fall, the cat ended up on its back and it still had my wrist this whole time in its mouth,” Kauffman told the radio station.
He was able to pin the animal’s hind legs down with his body, then he picked up a rock and started hitting the cat in the head.
Eventually, Kauffman decided his best plan of attack was to strangle the cat.
“I got my right foot onto its neck,” he said. “And then I was able to get some weight onto its windpipe and that’s what eventually suffocated it.”
The fight lasted only about 10 minutes, he told the radio station, but it was long enough for Kauffman to fear for his life.
“One of the thoughts that I was having was like, ‘Well this would be a pretty crappy way to die,'” he said.

Another Mountain Lion attack, check this shit out !
Gotta hand to the guy for keeping the camera going so we could all be entertained by what could've been the precursor to his death.

Did he have no intent on picking up a rock and throwing it at the thing?

I've had interactions with an 8lb house cat almost send me for stitches. I can't imagine being bitten and clawed by an 80lb cat.

If products are made by slave labor in China, it’s okay though.

I remember pre-peeled garlic from Trader Joes .... then it just disappeared and I've never seen it before.
(admittedly, I haven't looked super hard either).
That shit WAS convenient.
Several years later I saw a documentary how they were making prisoners in China peel it in jail.
I guess that got out and that product got s-canned.
It wasn't from a humanitarian point of view .... but just an unfair-business-competition thing.

They have it at Costco, an American product. So you can rest easy knowing its American convict labor getting paid 30 cents an hour at a privatized prison. Not Uyghur slave labor in China.
