I’m guessing since it was 3 bears they weren’t shot in self defence?

The NAACP will say that the white polar bears in our area weren’t targeted for killing by these racist killers. The Bear facts is these bears were killed because of their color. The accused should have their rights to bear arms takened away. This is a travesty and outrage! Just because these black bears were stealing these guys corn doesn’t justify killing them. A short prison sentence and probation would have been better punishment for the black bears.

It’s just a matter of time before Jimmie Gardner and Cowboy Bob Clark call out the NAACP and hold a rally with the Black Bears in Government Plaza. Cowboy Bob will call this a hate crime and raicism related crime against black bears. These Bears were victims of an injustice at the hands of racists. Teaching some Bears to hold a poster and placards in Government Plaza will be quiet an undertaking. These Bears were looked up to by all the little bears in the woods.
