I try to keep up, but for some reason this thread doesn't always show up, and I have to go look for it.
For what it is worth, Bentonville is a very politically correct place. (and it will be great to see in the rear view mirror!!!! LOL)
This could only happen to me: (or pdql.....)
Last week here in a residential neighborhood, our neighbor's mature bull got out. (Two bulls were fighting, the new bull pushed the old one through the fence.) This polled angus was old and blind in one eye, and could barely see out of the other. (cataracts) With the new bull standing in the gap I couldn't run him back. Mostly because I was real close to him (4 feet) before he saw me (cataracts) and it would surprise him. Plus he knocked a dew claw off in the fence and was fighting mad. I held him for about 30 minutes at bay, protecting people's property or worse. Of course this drew quite a crowd. A bystanding woman had enough, (of nothing) and decided to help agitate him more and sent him traveling down the road by honking and hollering. I brought him back and stopped him at the gap. (Which was up a pretty steep bank that he didn't want to traverse.) I pushed him as hard as I could trying to put him back in the pasture, when he had enough and he took a run at me. And he caught me. Gave me a good head butt, and then stomped on my leg. This took my shoe off, as I exited the proximity of his hoof. Then he stood guard over my shoe, so I got to walk, er hobble, around on the hot pavement while the crowd opinionated loudly. He eventually gave up on pawing my shoe and I got it back. I continued to hold him in the area until his owner eventually arrived. Six year old Elizabeth said she knew he was the farmer because he was wearing his uniform. (overalls). He ran him down the road and eventually into a gate.
I fully expected you all to be enjoying this on You Tube. This crowd was so politically correct that no one filmed this. They all said they didn't want to profit from “someone” getting killed.
So it must be true: no guts, no glory.
Tarry On
