Florida Man Kills Rabid Bobcat With His Bare Hands

This reminds me of that joke that ends:
You don’t f*** with Uncle Bob when he’s drunk!
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) - Dale Rippy says he was acting on instinct when a rabid 25-pound bobcat attacked him on his porch in this central Florida suburb.

Rippy… endured the bobcat’s slashes and bites until it clawed into a position where he could grab it by the throat.

Then he strangled it.


Did I mention that he’s 62 years old? And a Viet Nam vet?

Shouldn’t he have negotiated first? Couldn’t there have been some appeasement that would have satisfied the rabid bobcat for the moment? Did he have to resort to violence to settle the issue?

NO - there is no way to negotiate with a rabid bobcat. This man did the smart thing. He took his licks until he could kill the damn thing. Condoleeza Rice and George Bush should take note.


The future ain’t what it used to be.....

This is what happens when you don’t try a political solution, which, as we all know, is far superior to violence.  /sarcasm


Save America; boycott the MSM.

I guarantee there isn’t a Vietnam vet anywhere who isn’t proud as hell of Mr. Dale Rippy.

As one commenter noted, “Even Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Dale Rippy… do not f**k with Dale Rippy.”

I’ve sent an email to the McCain campaign suggesting a phone call from the nation’s most famous Vietnam vet and hero (also currently running for President) to congratulate Mr. Rippy on his own personal courage and heroism.

Obviously, the value to this action to both men diminishes with time.  We’ll see.

Anna,

You might not be aware, but in martial arts circles Chuck Norris is regarded as a true innovator and a hero besides.

Nonetheless, referring to him as “Ol’ Chuck” is probably not the best way to endear yourself.  Be sure to check under your own bed tonight!
