If this guy and his family are a bunch of racists, and it runs through the generations. "Coon" is definitely a word I can see them using, especially since if someone heard you say it you could always say you meant "raccoon". I could see this word being used a lot in the Kentucky/Tennessee area for both reasons and specifically because it's easy to use as a masked derogatory. "Coon" come around this house and I'll shoot em.


Before it's all over, I'm guessing we'll find out Zimmerman was off his meds and suffers from some kind of mental illness that makes him super paranoid. Plus him being a racist plays right into all the paranoia "they always get away". I still think his family is connected though, because at the very least the cops could look good and get him off the hook (assuming all the cops are closet racists themselves) if they portrayed him as mentally ill. But they aren't doing anything but covering (and covering up via witness tampering) for him.

Looks like a red raccoon that doesn't know how to eat garbage.

An earthy-ness they can't quite put their finger on...........possibly because they haven't tasted cat or raccoon shit.

I love the Pink Panther music!

Quite honestly though, I think this is a different vid. One of the things that I really liked about this one is the voiceover. The accents. The journey the household members went through.

I hope no one dupes it. The audio is completely different.

Dunno if this counts as dupe or not. The original has pink panther music, but no other audio:

And I don't curl...I snuggle.


Ah, yes.. the good ol' "struggle snuggle."

"This wild raccoon came in through the cat flap, curled up in the sink and basically domesticated himself!"
- This is actually how I meet women. Only it's not a cat flap...it's a second story window. And it's not a sink...it's usually the living room sofa. And I don't curl...I snuggle.


You didn't mention whether you're domesticated, or not.

And remember...only YOU can prevent forest fires.

No one should ever get near a wild raccoon.
From A Public Health Announcement from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management:

• Rabies: Rabies is a virus that is spread by contact with the saliva of a rabid animal or by being scratched or bitten by a rabid animal. Raccoons are one of the most common species to carry rabies.

Sorry to be a downer @mintbbb, but this is important information that people should know. An animal doesn't have to look sick to spread rabies.
I admit that this raccoon is cute as hell.
If they want to keep it they should have a veterinarian who has experience with wild animals examine it first.

That was probably a pet at some point. It doesn't act like a wild raccoon.


I agree--way too tame to be wild.
But, if it's had contact with wild raccoons....

This really does not seem like a wild raccoon at all.

"See if theres any wax in its ears"

Read about raccoon roundworm and then see if you want to poke around in its fur, yeeesh

"This wild raccoon came in through the cat flap, curled up in the sink and basically domesticated himself!"

That's... what? Seriously? Wild-fucking-animal, let's stick our hands in it's mouth! And it's ears! And on it's belly! This defies explanation. What the hell is going on here? Other than the incredibly stupid woman.
