Guest MrRant Report post Posted November 9, 2002 Gun-Toting Grandad Gets His Terrorist Squirrel Fri Nov 8,10:01 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - A squirrel which terrorized a British town by attacking people has been shot and killed by the grandfather of its latest victim. Geoff Horth, enraged by the squirrel biting his two-year-old grand-daughter Kelsi Morley on the face, took up his airgun and hunted down the rogue rodent, the Sun newspaper said on Friday. "When I tracked him down I was surprised how big he was. He came down a tree and headed for me, but I shot him before he jumped," the 61-year-old school caretaker told the newspaper. The bad-tempered squirrel's reign of terror in the town of Knutsford in central England had made parents frightened to let their children out to play. Animal experts say it is very unusual for squirrels to behave in such an aggressive way toward humans. Horth was philosophical about his role as gun-totting local hero. "Its a shame he went nuts, but I couldn't let this little beggar hold the town to ransom," he told the newspaper. Yeah... got to watch them squirrels because after all they are plotting against us.

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted November 9, 2002 *Liberal Mode On* What did we do to upset the Squirrel. *Conservative Mode On* Because of this terrible reign of terrorism, we should not only eradicate all squirrels within our barriers, but we should also destroy all chipmunks. These heathen beasts and their radical anti-lab rat, anti-American views have gone on far enough. We must put all our efforts and resources into this War on Rodents!

Guest treble charged Report post Posted November 10, 2002 I think we've come to the point where the only solution would be species profiling. Mice have never done anything that would lead us to suspect that they would be terrorists, so it would be unfair to subject them to extra questioning and/or searching at airports.

Guest MrRant Report post Posted November 10, 2002 I think we should be looking out for squirrels and chipmunks personally... especially the chipmunks wearing oversize shirts and responding to the names: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore and any human accomplice they may have going by the obviously terroristic name of "Dave".
