Threadkiller

[Heathen72]

A moment, everyone, to step back and look at what we have wrought.

We are all threadkillers here - not because we have ended the thread, but rather that we have sucked the life from what was once good, noble and true in this thread.

I am no less guilty than any of us - I was the first to reply - but what we are doing here is not threadkilling, or even threadslaughter. It is threadmurder.

Yeah, let's face it, you can't talk him out of not torturing this thread.

It's got to be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that heaven can't wait
Love is gonna get it right this time

Love
Love is what you bring
Love is what we found
The second time around

while I was running today, two squirrels ran out in front of me, chasing each other, then I kicked one of them, as it ran by, of course, as I would not go out of my way to do so, and would not be able to run as fast as it anyway.

In other news I'm thinking of trapping my backyard to be a pain in the tail end to the poachers that go out there, my plan is to dig a foot deep hole, then fill it with barbed wire, then cover it with leaves, so if a poacher steps in it, then he is very uncomfortable for a while, but suffers no permanent damage to himself, and if he complains about it to the government, well, he was trespassing anyway, and he would probably have his loaded rifle on him anyway, which would make it clear he was hunting, which is illegal, so he would get in trouble for that on top of trespassing, so I think its a good plan, the only problem is that wild animals and innocent people going on walks might accidentally step in it, so that's the only reason I'm not out back with a shovel digging a 2X1X1 hole in the ground.

I don't know, man. Barbed wire can cause some pretty nasty injuries, including nerve damage and infection, and the slim chance of severe/dangerous bleeding/bloodloss. And poacher or not, they could probably sue - and you'd likely be opening yourself up to a reckless endangerment charge. They might be opening themselves up to prosecution also, but not necessarily (if they can make it back to their vehicle and hide the weapon, etc...) The satisfaction of sticking it to these SOB's probably isn't worth the possible grief...but I do wholeheartedly sympathize with your situation. It definitely wouldn't be anything they don't deserve.

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

that's true

I just hate hate hate those guys, or that guy actually, there's one that always is there, and he's SO dumb and un-gun-safety, and I regularly get bullets shot in my general direction 'cause he shoots at whatever he sees move, and he tears down the "No Hunting" signs, which spawned a plan to put the wire under those signs, which I never did, what I did do, however, was put some barbed wire down on the ground in some new places (there was a remnant of a barbed wire fence in part of the yard) what I should PROBABLY do is go out after he's done and find some of the empty shells that always tend to get left behind after someone's out shooting.

You can also use a motion camera for proof that he's trespassing and use the pictures to sue him in court. I'm talking about the kind of cameras that you see in the TV show Monster Quest.

critter cams

also, if you wrap the sigs in barb wire, that may detur the removal theere of. ugh- two beers and now icant type for shtuff
