You might want to share the following with the VETERAN game feeders you know.

Feeding bears a big no-no
Everywhere in Pennsylvania it is illegal to intentionally feed bears or to place any food, chemicals, salt or other materials that cause bears to gather or habituate in an area.
In addition to protecting humans from bears expecting hand-outs from them or near their homes, the prohibition helps to protect bears from being eliminated as nuisance animals and from the spread of ailments such as mange, which is often fatal to the bruins and can be spread to healthy bears that congregate in the same area as infected bruins.

Are you violating Pennsylvania's wildlife feeding laws? | PennLive.com
It is even illegal here to feed wild ducks and geese.

Can Incipient Violent Killers be Committed for Protection of Society? Thread on topic.

This incident certainly creates a strong argument for a return to making involuntary commitment to mental health facilities moderately less difficult. This tragedy didn't have to happen.

A White wacko with an AR-15 kills three African-Americans and one guy of Hispanic descent.

A Brave Good African-American man by the name of James Shaw Jr. confronts and disarms the killer with nothing more than an instinct to fight, not flight.

Maybe I missed it but, has The President of the United States said or at least tweeted something about this? If the POTUS has mentioned this, I applaud his recognition and [hopefully] accolades towards this young courageous man who chose to do something for himself and others in the face of a life threatening situation. If the POTUS has said nothing, his silence loudly speaks everything he is suspect of being. And to be fair, if others high up in the Political Food Chain have failed to acknowledge this noble act of selflessness, shame on all of them.

James Shaw Jr. I thank and salute you for what you did.

Be well.

Let that sink in.
Imagine if it was a Hispanic that killed 4 white people at a Waffle House. Do you think Trump would stay silent? What if it happened to be a Middle Easterner who suffered from the same mental delusion as Travis Reinking?

I think we know the answer.

Bottom line...people should stop blaming the deceased for daring to be in a restaurant.
Actually, it's not. I used to live right down the street. While most Waffle Houses are near interstate exits, this one is literally miles from the nearest interstate.

Isn't that the sad state of America now.

Let's point out crimes of the 'other citizens', but not 'these citizens'.

Shameful times... Shameful times...

Not to my knowledge then again everyone knows Trump is at least a race-baiter if not, fully racist.
