The medical examiner actually thinks it was Big Foot but they aren't telling us that for fear of creating panic.

ReplyDeleteNJ. liberals don't want a bear season to control the bear numbers and install a healthy respect for humans. So now someone paid the price. What do you expect. Just like cougar attacks in Ca. same reason. Don't want to hurt the cuddly little critters so they learn we are not at the top of the food chain. Sorry liberals it's called natural selection.
