Bear attacks and other homicides!
The term “Gaslighting” has been coined to describe ongoing pathological abuse of a person (or an entire population), by leftists and leftist governments, perniciously intended to deceive victim(s) into suspending reality and questioning the validity of their own perception.
Example:
The NY Game Commission repeatedly describes all bear attacks upon citizens as “abnormal,” “rare,” “unusual,” and so on. One can use identical reasoning to say that conventional homicide, perpetrated by human predators (AKA: “murder”), is also “rare” and “abnormal.”
Yet, we all know and understand that murders occur every day!
When the act of murder begins to unfold, the criminal (human or animal) must be incisively stopped before the act can be completed if the intended victim is to live through the ordeal. The murderer needs to be definitively dissuaded or physically disabled instantaneously and prior to his successfully carrying out the homicide.
In NY, one may not legally carry an otherwise legally licensed handgun within a State Park. I’m curious that NYS officials are so certain that you’re not going to be attacked by a bear (nor a human murderer) while you’re within the confines of a NY State Park that they’ve made it illegal for you to carry your handgun there.
And, when homicides do occur within NY State Parks (which happens with monotonous regularity), officials can be counted upon to glibly reiterate that such attacks are “rare” and then promptly drop the subject and turn their attention to unrelated bureaucratic duties.
In fact, leftists can always be counted upon to piously (and oh so self-righteously) proclaim that real events that we clearly saw with our own eyes- didn’t really happen and violent crime doesn’t actually exist.
… solely because they say so
… and you better not dispute it, if you know what’s good for you!
The foregoing is “Gaslighting,” defined, and Democrats (along with other totalitarian/socialists worldwide) can be depended upon to enthusiastically embrace it.
Expect it.
Don’t become a victim of it!

take bears to state house dump them inside with the felons the dead goobers are just a figment of their own imaginations
Subsequent to the Summer of Love, 2021 overwhelmed and underfunded, undermanned law enforcement agencies started culling responses to criminal reports. What. was once considered a serious felony or misdemeanor became just too small to even send response much less take a report. No report, no indecent number, no crime. The man and woman on the street knows different. As burglaries, thefts and public peace incidents go undocumented and as illegal aliens swarm the nation crime statistics soon fail to reflect the reality on the street. The American People are now getting a glimpse of the documentation underlying this scam by… Read more »
Whenever I have read about a bear attack on a human, the Fush and Game spokesperson will always say something like ” all bears are scared to death of people ( huh?), oh the bear must have rabies , oh the bear is starving, oh the bear got lost ( what?), or the person was teasing the bear, who in the hell would do that? They never mention that a bear is a predator . They always say bears are ” harmless” and only eat nuts and berries. Well, tell that to the people who have been attacked, mauled and… Read more »
