Ooops, there is context, and it’s sad. This happened in North Carolina and the bobcat had rabies, which explains the craziness. The guy in the video ended up shooting the bobcat, and the folks involved ended up going to the hospital and likely got a super-fun series of rabies shots.
Bobcat with rabies? Sad. Husband going from Mr. Pleasant to “I’m gonna shoot that ᚠᚪᛣᚳᛖᚱ” in ten seconds? Priceless. Now, if you want the racist take on the incident, The Root has you covered. And even here, where they try to disparage and dehumanize white folks at every turn, they gotta give this feller the respect he deserves.
I once stared down a bobcat. Going on 20 years ago, I dug through a black widow infested rocket parts boneyard a day or two after 9-11 in order to find components for Tomahawk cruise missile booster motors so’s we could finish a bunch of motors we just knew we’d soon need to send downrange. And as I dug through a pile of boxes and pallets, a big-ass bobcat climbed up to the top of said pile of pallets and just looked at me like “Hey. ‘sup.” We looked at each other for a few seconds, then it turned and wandered off. Normal bobcats? Reasonable fellas. Rabid bobcats? Noooooooo thank you.
