Stupid things you saw on Nextdoor

Not ND, but a local Highlands Ranch FB group...



I feel sorry for Cooper.

But I'm struggling with understanding how Bob didn't know there were wild animals (coyotes?) in the area. Guess we need more coyote posts?

And I'm not sure how the chickens/owners are to blame.

I don't know Bob, but I bet he's the type that would be the first one to call the cops on you if you dropped the coyote with a suppressed .22 in your back yard.

"We do not live next to open space."

Earth to Bob. You're in Colorado. The entire damned state is open space as far as wildlife is concerned, especially foxes and coyotes. If you're going to put a tasty snack out for them, expect them to sniff it out and go for it like a plate of unguarded brownies as a Weight Watchers convention or an unguarded six-pack of beer at a fraternity party.

Saw. Fresh squashed Yote on Iliff near Chambers a couple of nights ago on a late night call out.

And you called the police and warned your neighbors right?

I've actually said this and gotten the typical hand-wringing response. I've mentioned coyotes are nuisance animals, not protected, and several of us would happily dispense of them safely if the law allowed.

This just came across the feed... Pearl clutching, know-nothing hand wringer on next door, living in a rural area where shooting is permitted on one's own land:

Shots Fired
Ok, Perry Park and Perry Park East neighbors in Larkspur, who ever this person is firing shots off NEEDS TO STOP DOING THAT!!! Do not shoot the animals, nor fire shots in the air because as you SHOULD know, what goes up, must come down!! A hot bullet landing on a house. trees, or even the grass can set a blaze to our entire town!! Stop firing off shots NOW!! Furthermore, stop shooting at our wildlife!! I’ve let this go before without saying a word, but I’m done not speaking up because I DO NOT want my yard, or house on fire, and I sure don’t want one of my furry babies, nor myself or my spouse accidentally hit by one or two of your stray bullets!! Now, knock it off and stop shooting your guns in our neighborhood!!

She gets called out by more than a few people, and then she posts this gem:

Number one: I know what gunfire sounds like due to the fact that I was trained in depth about fire weapons! I KNOW those were gun shots yesterday!! Number two: I’m not from California missy poo!! Number3: I get worried BECAUSE, we have homes here in Larkspur, beautiful trees, grass, gorgeous wildlife, and people who live here in Larkspur too that could accidentally get a stray bullet in our guts!! The grass has been dry again and the trees have too, do you realize all it takes is ONE bullet that’s still really HOT from being fired to land on the grass or in a tree and it COULD EASILY START A FIRE!! Just ask our Sheriff’s Dept. if you don’t believe me!! They will be glad to teach you a thing or two about everything I just stated!! This is still America and we do have freedom of speech as long as it is decently stated, I did not cut down anyone in my first statement about the shots being fired yesterday, but I did speak from a protective and sensible point of view!! Stop passing judgement on me, especially when you are highly incorrect about me!! I had many neighbors thank me for saying something and speaking up about it. Some of you though who chewed me out for saying something about gunfire knowing I was coming from a protective stand point of view, you sound like you don’t care if our livelihood is burned to the ground or not and you are the ones everyone needs to worry about and maybe you should go back to wherever you came from!! 🤗

And followed it up with this:

What’s ridiculous about these neighborhood websites is that it seems like some people just want to pick fights no matter what anyone posts! Instead of trying to pick a fight with someone who posts how they feel about something, why can’t you arguers just simply say, “ I agree to disagree. “ instead of saying hateful things, or continuously make the wrong statements about the one who was trying to show concern?? For the record too, I did call Douglas County Sheriff’s Department and they stated it IS legal to shoot a firearm out here in Larkspur. However, the person behind the firearm needs to be licensed to shoot their firearm, and best have a license for what they are shooting Brit a turkey or deer. Mountain Lions and Bears are NOT to be shot. If you see one or the other, call in your sighting, but do not shoot it. You can be held liable for killing a Mountain Lion, or a Bear!! The ONLY time you possibly could get away with it is if you are defending yourself and even then, you better have proof of self-defense!! Also, if you do shoot your firearm where people do live, you must pick up your bullet shells because bullet shells are a choking hazard to children, as well as, a physical hazard to them!! Just reciting some firearm rules there about shooting firearms. 👍👍

I'm so glad she is here to let us know about the rules concerning fire weapons!

[brutal]

WOW, what a nutter.

It must be tough being right all the time.

A concerned for her well being, LOL

I keep my ammo in the freezer so celebratory gunfire doesn’t start fires when it lands on roofs, trees, and bouffant hair held up by way too much aqua net.

All I got from the last lady was a reminder to shoot a gun with a big case. Anyone over there better shoot .50 BMG or bigger. You know, so kids don't choke.
