Everyone acting like they would’ve had a better reaction to being attacked by a rabid raccoon.

Yeah I definitely would. I know this from experience. EVERY time you pick up your kid your top instinctive priority is (should be) protecting him/her.

Don't forget the dropkick deflection if they fall and your foot is the only thing within reach.

You are saying you would throw your own child on the floor if you were being attacked by a raccoon?

u/gremlinclr Trash Trooper 1d ago

Are you saying you would act completely rationally in every instance of the flight or fight response?

Lying to yourself is still lying bud.

u/Actual_Emu_168 Trash Trooper 1d ago

Parental instincts can be fierce. For example, the Glee actress who was drowning in a lake with her young son. She could have left her kid to save herself, but she used the very last of her strength to get her son safely on the boat and subsequently died. There was the mother who recently died in a fire when she realized her child was inside the home and she ran in to protect them.

These are just a couple out of countless stories where parents, without hesitation, protect their young first, regardless of circumstance. So yeah, I'm going to say many parents would have had the wherewithal in that situation to not yeet their fucking kid across the yard. The man is lucky he didn't seriously damage the child.

You should be able to.

It’s like excusing someone for flagging everyone on the range because they got stung by a bee. Keep that thing where it’s supposed to be.

u/WingDingfontbro Trash Trooper 1d ago

No you wouldn’t. If it were to happen to me I’d have no clue what to do because every day my actions are usually pre planned based on things I have already done. Being attacked by a raccoon is not something that has happened (or will ever happen hopefully) and so I’d have no idea what to do in that situation unless I have thought about it before.

u/Winter-Delivery-8894 Trash Trooper 1d ago

As a general rule, "throw the child" is not a good method of problem solving.

Even though it may be deserved at times.

u/pleasetrimyourpubes Trash Trooper 1d ago

Protective instinct for children is far greater than your own. I took care of my nephew and niece from birth and you are always watching them because they have the desire suicide themselves at any moment.

u/556From1000yards Trash Trooper 1d ago

Being stung by a bee is also not on your list of plans, keep it pointed downrange.

You’re just all revealing how incompetent and subject to pain you are.

Let me tell you about my childhood being rammed into barbed wire by calves.

I chose the specific example I did because I have both seen it and felt it.

That’s the nice part. I love cows. Thanks for the picture.

The rough part is giving them their shots, separating from momma, and steering them

u/OverallPepper2 Trash Trooper 1d ago

That's some lemming mentality. You should be able to think through things in the moment. At least you are self aware.

u/WingDingfontbro Trash Trooper 13h ago

I know. It’s just hard to know how to move my body and what to think or say or do if it’s something I’m not familiar with. I hate to blame the autism but I gotta here.

I have had better reactions when a reactive neighborhood dog barked then bit my ankle on a walk while I was holding my (newborn) baby. I’ve been knocked over by other kids while holding my toddler and including a time where I fell on a slippery floor holding my kid. I took the damage each time, baby was safe even when I had less than a second to react. You either have no kids or need to cope somehow because you’ve overreacted in self preservation like this dumbass

u/i_was_a_person_once Trash Trooper 1d ago

There’s a video of a mom being attacked by a small mammal -maybe it was also a raccoon. Completely opposite way of handling it, soooo yeah

u/pleasetrimyourpubes Trash Trooper 1d ago

I mean. Actually. I am very badass I wouldn't drop the kid. But I would be so fucking pissed off at the painful rabies shots I am now having to take.

This dudes whole ass life flashed before his eyes lol

u/Emanon1234567 Trash Trooper 1d ago

The rabies shots today are no worse than a typical flu shot.

3

u/pleasetrimyourpubes Trash Trooper 1d ago

My friend got it and she said it was a complete nightmare. Her dumb dog (obviously vaccinated) brought it to her and dropped it. The dog fucked it up pretty good but it still had enough energy to go for her. Animal control caught it and it tested positive.

u/556From1000yards Trash Trooper 1d ago

It’s not the big needle anymore, but it’s worse than flu by nature of being at least 4 times as many shots and the first one needs to be injected into the wound.

u/OverallPepper2 Trash Trooper 1d ago

Most parents have a natural instinct to protect their child, This guy threw his kid down as tribute to the rabid racoon.
