Reply to comment by RushingTech in Russian secret service seizes Wall Street Journal journalist who wrote about Wagner Group by 9lobaldude

Seriously, no one should be going to Russia. It’s the equivalent of seeing one of those “CLOSED: extreme grizzly bear activity” signs on a hiking trail and going anyway

Same for Iran and North Korea.

Get the fuck out of here… my ignorance never fails to produce a learning opportunity.

I would have never doubted bears exist in Iran but I’d never have guess the color. Thanks for this.

If you’re an American it would be like going into the grizzly bear area while wearing a suit made of steaks

And if Russia is paying you to be there, you are either a bear yourself (Stephen Seagal) or an idiot in a salmon costume

I've never heard of a bear getting choked to unconsciousness and pooping itself

There are bears in Russia addicted to huffing jet fuel, clearly his cousins

We should be even more grateful for the journalists that go out and get info for us while we sit our fat asses in front of our screen, shouldn't we ?

We have one close by and it just makes people go in there more. There’s a hot spring too. The bear signs stop no one.

Since you mentioned a sign like that, I want to assume you live in an area with lots of grizzlies.

I know you can’t just go around killing them, nor would I ever condone it.

But what happens if you’re out hiking and a grizzly attacks you? Like, are you going to get fined out the ass or arrested if you blast a grizzly bear coming at you?

Your best chance of survival is either bear spray or playing dead. Shooting a grizzly bear in self defense doesn’t have great odds for the shooter. Things are hard to kill and much harder to kill before they can kill you.

Might get the shot off and it might die eventually, but unless it’s perfect that bear will be taking you with it.

I mostly know it from national parks and it is by and large totally illegal to discharge a firearm in those. Unless the shot is at point blank range (no one sane would hunt a bear that way) and you have a spent can of bear spray on you and the bear, FWS will never, not ever believe that you didn’t just go on a lil hunting expedition.

But then who's going to tell us the bear's side?
