Pardon if this was already posted, grew impatient w/site as it was a while before it showed other videos, so invertedly pushed the 'submit' button a bit early. Mea culpa (really old school for 'my bad').

It has been reported that the animal was wearing a mask to conceal it's identity.

I have a small daughter and live in nature so this is scary but... am I the only one that can't stop laughing?

not judging but am more amazed than amused.

the poise of the woman to get her daughter into the house, while handling a rabid animal biting her - THEN stopping in mid-toss to warn a neighbor BEFORE she tossed it (not a bad toss either) - found it similar awe-inspiring.

not to say folks might not rib her for a few days afterward...

"jack's been looking for a bouncer, why not give him a call?"

"suddenly, around 7 AM every morning, we're having all sorts of small animals running by the house like they're afraid of something. isn't that the time you take your kid to school?"

"bet now when you tell your daughter to clean her room or your husband to pick up his socks - THEY LISTEN!"

"gonna call you the next time one of those missionaries stops by the house. would be worth money to see someone hammer-toss a mormon."

of course, she might be like...

Ya that mom was running on pure adrenaline... at one point holding the kid upside-down in left arm while holding the racoon in the other arm and shouting to the kid to get inside.

And in the racoon's defense, it was "allegedly" rabid:)
