Ursatile thinkers



It came to my attention recently that Project Grizzly is now available online through the National Film Board of Canada.

Enjoy.

Marriage-Material

Rukhsana Kauser took an axe, gave the goblin forty whacks...
An Indian farmer’s daughter disarmed a terrorist leader who broke into her home, attacked him with an axe and shot him dead with his own gun.

Rukhsana Kausar, 21, was with her parents and brother in Jammu and Kashmir when three gunmen, believed to be Pakistani militants, forced their way in and demanded food and beds for the night...

His daughter was hiding under a bed when she heard him crying as the gunmen thrashed him with sticks. According to police, she ran towards her father’s attacker and struck him with an axe. As he collapsed, she snatched his AK47 and shot him dead.

She also shot and wounded another militant as he made his escape.
I sincerely hope that she kept the AK-47 as a trophy (fair game; you keep what you kill) and that the other villagers have taken note of the example set by Ms. Kausar. I suspect that following this incident (were she so inclined), she would have her pick of bridegrooms, all things being equal.

As Ms. Kausar discovered, it follows that only reasonable people may be reasoned with; thieves-in-the-night subscribe to not reason, but force, and must be met in kind.

Some days, the bear eats you...

Some days, you eat the bear:
The five-foot-nine man eventually crushed the bear's skull with the stick, killing it.

West then walked a kilometre and a half to a local lodge, where he was transported to hospital. The gashes in his body took 60 stitches to sew up.

This guy has a fight with a mother-bear, and kills it with a stick.

Jim West, my hat is off to you. From a distance, where I hope I do not resemble a bear.

(Also, an interview after the fact.)
