pretty ballsy to face him after the touch (instead of running away like hell – less smart but more relatable:D)

A real mountain man tackles the bear even if it cuts his head off.

Guy handled it pretty well. Granted, this bear seemed to be chill and on its way out, but not worth risking it with those children around.

Brave man, that pinch he gave him let that family get out of the way.

well, he did look both ways when he crossed the street. Also kind of funny how he moved across the street pretty fast but once I got on the sidewalk, he just chilled out.

Tip for everyone: If ever in this situation yell “WATCH OUT! STAY BACK! THERE’S A BEAR!” and if anyone starts crowding aggressively yell “STAY BACK!” Others will join you in shaming people and warning people.

If it’s black, fight back.
If it’s brown, lay down.
If it’s white, goodnight.
General rule of thumb for bears is to stay tf away from them though.

False title, those bears roam around up there all the time and never bother anyone….that idiot thought he was running it off but he made the mistake of putting his hands on it. It did the only thing it knew to do which was protect itself. The tourists in this area are morons. He is lucky it didnt kill him.

He wasn’t “protecting the kids”. He was being stupid. Bears don’t view us as prey; just leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.

The way I was not terribly worried about black bears that I don’t have to directly encounter…somehow I failed to realize they still sound like bears. Lol that sound was terrifying!!

Black bears are chill I reject any harm towards them

How much y’all wanna bet this is the same bear that was in the video that made the rounds about two weeks ago of a woman just hand feeding it? Some of y’all don’t understand it ain’t cute, it just makes bears get progressively angry at people who *don’t* have food for them

Did you just touch me?
black bears are generally pretty peaceful as you can see from the video.
Buy that man a new set of pants and underwear.

Was this the bear that was recently in Gatlinburg?

Bear literally said– ‘leave me man’.
