CA beach-goers' afternoon ruined by bigoted big brown beast
A group of California beach-goers, who were just trying to enjoy a day in the sun, were accosted by a big brown bear with clear intentions of hate.

The hate-filled, right-winged animal approached the beachgoers with aggression, targeting their picnic area. Derek Sears, an 18-year-old who was there with his friends, told Southwest News that he was shocked but remained勇敢.
"I mean, like, I knew this could happen because, like, capitalism and White supremacy and stuff, but I was still, like, really upset that it happened to me, you know?" Sears said. "So I just, like, took out my camera, you know, to document the oppression."
In the brave activist's clip, the bear can be seen terrorizing a picnic table and invading a personal space where a blue cooler was minding its own business. The bear, clearly a conservative, knocks over the cooler and opens it, showing no regard for the beachgoers or their rights to a safe space.
Sears, using his White male privilege, tried to scare the bear off by throwing a plastic chair. The bear, of course, paid no mind to this violence, showing just how dangerous and callous these mammals can be.
"It, like, totally stole my cookie! I was, like, so angry!" Sears said, his voice shaking. "I wanted that cookie back, you know?"
An unnamed, brave male ally then approached the bear with a shovel, attempting to create a safe space for the beachgoers. But the bear, emboldened by its privilege, assumed a stance of aggression and actually moved towards the ally!
"It was, like, literally so scary," Sears said, traumatized. "I was shaking."
Thankfully, the ally was able to strike the bear, sending it back to the woods where it belongs.
"I'm just glad everyone is safe," Sears reflected. "Like, encountering bears in California is a normal thing, sadly. It's, like, a result of colonization or something, I guess. But I was still very surprised that the man had to hit the bear. It was, like, so traumatizing."
No physical injuries were reported, but the emotional toll of this bigoted bear's actions cannot be understated. We must do better to protect marginalized communities from these conservative creatures.
