Sounds as though the raccoon might be rabid. The woman was right in reporting the raccoon's unusual behavior for just that reason.

sounds like the woman was a little batty if she had to fight a truck

• At 1: 41 p.m. Thursday, a woman stopped at the Police Department to report abuse.

• At 2: 07 p.m. Thursday, a woman stopped at the Police Department and reported she wanted to talk to a police officer about finding drugs in her son's bedroom.

• At 2: 52 p.m. Thursday, a woman stopped at the Police Department to report harassment.


You again?!? Get a life, lady!

NWA News? Is their slogan "Compton's Number One News Source"?

Raccoons are so cute and cuddly

If you ever see a raccoon acting strangely, there is a 100% chance that it has rabies. Same thing goes for foxes.

Reminds me of a Tony Woods (the comedian) skit on animals.

And if they got a chance, they'd eat you and everyone you've ever cared about.

I just think of them as bigger, furrier cats.

When I was three or four I saw a raccoon stumbling around during the daytime. I told my mom, and long story short, the cops shot it outside our house because it was rabid.

\no point to the above story

'dem raccoons just ain't right.

NWA News?

'Coons?

Anyone see a correlation or am I the only one?


\window seat please.

Why didn't Mama just chase it off the porch with a broom?

Goldeneye007:I just think of them as bigger, furrier cats.

So we agree.

While it was probably rabid, there's a chance it was drunk off of fermented berries or something

Maybe that raccoon had the RAGE!

/Or was high on PCP.
//Or just had an unhappy childhood.

SithLord:Anyone see a correlation or am I the only one?

Mammal, pleez.

I have a raccoon problem so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

"Leave Bandit alone!!"

For years, raccoons and trucks have been enemies, waging a shadow war underneath the eye of society. Finally, the stakes have become too high to hide it any longer, and it spills into the open. See it..in a new movie by Jerry Bruckheimer! RACCOON WARS IV! FIFTEEN PERCENT MORE EXPLOSIONS THAN WORLD WAR II!

Everyone who thinks this woman was stupid, I hope you get rabies.

The raccoon or the woman?

Meh. Too far away.

That's creepy/funny

/+1 for you sir

"It's always the 'coons!"



/-I was constantly told by my Great-Grandfather on my Father's side.
//He doesn't seem so 'great' anymore.

I grew up out in the sticks. The raccoons used to chase the cats up the trees, out to the end of a branch, then push them off. They were also known to lure dogs down to bodies of water and drown them.

They also don't take kindly to fireworks.

Did it win?

Hey! I know that guy!

I think of raccoons as small bears. If you approach them with assuming that kind of temperment then maybe you won't be injured by one.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

The worst rabies carrier? Skunks.

Damn straight. Little farkers are tough. They will take on opponents easily 30x their size when startled, or if they think they are being cheated.

Forrest: Coons? When racoons try to get on our back porch, Momma just chase 'em off with a broom.

The solution is actually VERY simple. Have a grill-out, invite all your friends. Everybody drinks lots and lots of liquids and eats lots and lots of meat.

Everyone 'marks their territory' all around the barn.

The scent of a carnivore's urine will drive them away.

/Animal control told us to do that the get them to stop climbing in my uncle's chimney and attic.

OMG

3 raccoons just broke into my basement.
What do I do?
I'm getting my golf clubs.

I take PayPal, checks, cash, but I'm kinda far from ya. And all I need is a shovel.

seriously they just got in and i doubt they can climb concrete to get out.

Yeah we had a dog once that was convinced it wanted a piece of some raccoon ass. One encounter with a smallish one left him a little wiser.

I have to use that one on everybody now. They'll never get it.

Just farking shoot them. I'll assume that since it's a farm, there's some firepower right handy...

When I was 13 my friend had a rabid skunk going nutty in his back yard while we were playing basketball. It kept scraping its face against a cinder block and was all foamy mouthed. We called animal control but a patrol officer stopped instead and he pepper sprayed the skunk and then shot it with a .22 rifle.

Bella Vista is famous for its raccoon sightings. Some days you can count more than 10 in the police reports. The people in Bella Vista are very strange, mostly elderly retirees from the north. My favorite police report was when someone reported a 10 foot snake in their yard. Officers came out and found it was a tree branch.

Its not always a good idea to fire off a gun in your basement. Your ears will hurt, and the ricochet can do some damage. Whereas a golf club is more fun, because you get to do something useful with it for once.

jkmartin:Officers came out and found it was a tree branch.

HA! Farking raccoon made you think it was a tree branch/snake. I hope they didn't startle it or try and cheat it out of some fish guts or anything....
