Whoever called the cops prolly thought it was just a bear.
Not sure what kind of crazies populate the cesspool you live in, but people in rural NS don't expect somebody to be going door to door shooting humans.
I shit thee not. Watch Anne of Green Gables with Martin Sheen. That's what life was rlly like here 100 years ago, and still is now, for the most part. The Littlest Hobo. Lorne Greene's New Wilderness. Those ppl on DeGrassi were jet setting drama llama city kids compared to the maritimes. Rural Canada is still safe and cozy for the most part.
Anyhoo… the cops got the guy, he turned out to be a psychopath. The cops shot him and saved the taxpayers over $1million in correctional costs bc we all know the guy can't be rehabilitated and good riddance. Gun regulations will tighten up and life will go back to normal again.
Maybe a few people in secluded areas will start keeping their hunting rifles where they're more accessible. Maybe they won't.
I'm not worried about crazy humans up here.
And I'd prolly die if I ever saw a bear bc I'd hesitate so long tryinta scare the stupid thing off and avoid killing it that it would likely rip my head off. They're so cute I'd rather get high with them and eat peanut butter together lol
