79 year old bird watcher takes down Oregon militant

[sense]

BURNS, OREGON — Grandfather of four Robert Saunders says he was just out to check on some young burrowing owls at the crack of dawn this morning when he was confronted by a “red-faced pudgy man with a big gun”.

And things got physical when Saunders refused the barked orders to halt and identify himself.

But it wasn’t the retired teacher who ended up on the ground.

14. Great story, but sadly, satire.

I like it though.

15. Oh, damn. I thought it was real when I read it.

The only part I didn't believe was that more terrorists were arriving by the truckload.

2. Big tough militant will probably try to sue the old guy in federal court for assault. n/t

3. Beware old men who watch burrowing owls.

They're known to be among the toughest of all birders, second only to cub scouts who observe warblers.

7. That's a satire site.

The Lapine is Canada's Best Satirical Online Newspaper. It satirizes politics, life, media and the human condition, with a special focus on Canada. No Lapine content is intended to hurt even the most delicate of feelings…but it’s bound to happen. Get over it. But if you have concerns, let us know. Did we mention that The Lapine is satire?

13. Lapine is also a town in

central Oregon near Burns, so almost seemed real....

Kinda sad living here the way it is.

11. Ten days later at the disability (gubmint) office

Sir - could you describe the extent of your injuries?

Well I was on guard duty when I was attacked and thrown to the ground. Twisted my back real bad and I can't work anymore.

Ta da!
