I find this story a little suspect.  But apparently a Polar Bear in Alaska took out a little kid and his mom before authorities shot him/her.  They are obviously a species not to be trifled with and the end result was darkness.  People need to use better common sense, RIP to the Polar Bear.  :(

This doesn't happen Uncle R.  I believe authorities are withholding critical information and protecting the deceased humans.

If it's black, fight back.

If it's brown, lie down.

If it's white, say goodnight.

This is for bears.

Probally the bear was  hungry.....losing so much pack ice.

CNN is reporting that the Polar Bear was chasing down people in some obscure Alaskan town.  It sounds like the reporter watched Coacaine Bear or something. This simply isn't plausible even if this was a Stephen King novel.

A fascinating take.

Tower, we're killing too many innocent animals.  This is just a reminder.

A reminder of what?   Are you saying this is the polar bear's revenge?   Then he should be put down.     A reminder that we should try to get along with animals?   OK.   But if he attacked the village, he needs to be put down.

A reminder of where I come from on this.  A friend, the father of a classmate of my daughter as well as 3 other children, was killed by a bear while sleeping in a tent.

I do not share your sympathy for bears that attack humans.

On top of the bear being an idiot, the people it killed were idiots.  They should have had bazookas with them

Polar bears are more aggressive than grizzly bears.  What information would authorities be hiding, and for what reason?

They're hiding the fact that polar bears are delicious when their diet consists of human flesh

Why can't we have sensible bear claws & teeth laws? Do the bears really need to have that many teeth?

I know, I know.....they just use them for hunting. Typical right-wing bear B.S.

All bears should be in zoos, or as pets

I'm the only one looking at this rationally. There is less than a .5% chance the Polar Bear ran down two dumbasses because he/she was either hungry or vindictive. The most likely scenario is a human did something stupid and the Polat Bear justifiably got angry.

Polar Bears are serious Apex Predators. This video of one taking down a Walrus is amazing .

Here is the local story on the incident . Seems like other villages in the area have Polar Bear patrols, but Wales didn't

There is a 4.3% chance it was a dispute over a parking spot.

Clearly trying to hide the bear's toxicology reports and all the questions on where the bear got those drugs.

Slippery slope.

No 'allegedly' about it.

I do not see any evidence Tower.
