17ing Pablo Eskobear.

I just happened across this story and I have 4 thoughts.
First. I cannot believe we missed the opportunity to have Pablo sent to his rightful home in Oxford back in 2012 for only the cost of shipping. That's the Ole Miss mascot if I have ever seen one.
Second. I now have a game plan on how I'm going to take out this 17ing bear that mauled my garbage can all fall. I know his weakness and while I can't shoot a bear in the city limits, a cokehead rummaging around my property is fair game.
Third. Can you imagine going on a hike and coming up on a black bear that just woofed down 70 lbs of coke? There was a 5 minute period where that little 175 pound bear was the absolute apex predator on earth.
Fourth. This story is absolutely ridiculous. If you are unfamiliar read up. This Thornton guy is like Rambo, Raylan Givens, and Hunter S. Thompson all rolled up in one.
