Because God forbid somebody should be made to suffer the consequences of their actions.

So we get to enjoy watching the bear bite her on the a$$ like that! ;D ;D ;D  If she'd died they never would have let us see the video.

Could this womans family be the reason they print instructions on things like shampoo???

My favorite part of the video was when they were using the battering ram type thingy to distract the polar bear from biting her butt, and then it hit the crazy lady in the back of the head with it.....

she'll probably bring a lawsuit over that......

Given the size of that woman I would say it was a fairly even match.

Saving this lady was so idiotic that I may dig a shallow hole in the back yard and roll over in it to save Darwin the trouble.

People like this is why we have labels on things like lawn mower decks that say "Keep Hands and Feet Away from Mower Deck".

And next up, let's stick a fork in an electrical outlet while bathing with a toaster oven.......



Damn.

Or....... "Caution Contents is Hot" on a freakin cup of coffee.     What a concept.

I still can't get over the woman who sued and won against McDonalds years ago.  McDonalds should have been given an award for serving a nice hot cup of coffee.....instead they have to defend themselves in court.  Incredible.

What I found most interesting was the title of the story "Bear Attacks Woman."  I think it should be "Bear Defends Home From Invader!"

Reminds me of a story on the news in 2002 of a man who wanted his friend to take a picture of him standing next to a buffalo, the man was stomped to death, end of story.
