Well, most people would say anything, right? It doesn't matter. There are my children.

You protect them. Do what you want. If somebody was looking to harm them, you would protect them. So let's say you're a dad. A hypothetical situation. Let's say you're a dad in, I don't know. Indianapolis. Let's just pick a city out of America.

Indianapolis. And you're outside playing, you know, baseball with your son. Now, your son is four years old, so you got your little stick out there with the baseball, and you're playing a little stick ball with them because you, you know, you want them to hit the ball and run. You're just goofing off. And you're out in a little park area in your neighborhood. And you're playing with your little son.

And hit the ball. Yay, go. Here's the bases. went around the bases trying to teach the kid baseball. She already know it by four. All of a sudden, a giant bird goose comes flying into the neighborhood

and starts to land and I don't know if you know this, but goose is mean. You can quote me on that. Okay? Gooses is mean. Something like that. So the dad grabs the plastic baseball bat. Now he claims he hit the goose once.

Wack, picked up the kid, ran away to protect the kid. A neighbor calls authorities. Now, personally, and this is just me, before we get any farther into the story, if you're a human being that would see a man swinging at a mean goose

trying to attack his son and him as they're in some park area playing and your first reaction is I've got to call authorities because of that poor goose stop listening to this program right now now there goes I don't even have anybody that works here anymore

they're all gone okay, you should be ashamed of yourself. I know you didn't stop listening because you're thinking, I'm going to say something bad about you, but I'm not. I'm just going to tell you that you should be ashamed of yourself, okay? Because geese's is meat.

Something like that. Now, the lady, I say the lady, the person who called authorities in Indianapolis said that, he's swaying at the bird four or five times. Now, I would say, is the bird still alive?

Yes. Then you didn't swing at it enough. So I would say you're good. You're good. The bird's still alive? Yeah. All right, you're good. No problem.

You were protecting your son. No problem. We're good. Have a good day, sir. We'll go find, uh, Who is the, that's an old TV show reference, so never mind. It doesn't matter that I can't think of her.

Stupid name anyway. Cravitz. Old TV show Bewitched. The lady across the street. This is cravitz. Right? It doesn't matter. It's a stupid TV thing.

But it's amazing to me that you would see that. And even if, let's say you came upon. it you walked out your front door and all of a sudden there's a guy and his son and the guy is swinging his plastic bat at the goose if your first reaction is to call authorities because of the goose stopless I mean why how is that possible who thinks that way there are people that think that way animal activist Joe people who care for animals. People who, you know,

people for the ethical treatment of animals. Those people. So, the Department of Natural Resources responds. I showed up

Marion County and issued a summons to go before the judge. Normally, you would think to yourself, a common sense judge in America is going to say, stop it. Stop it. I don't know if the person who filed the report, the person who saw it happen, who called

authorities had to testify in court, I doubt it in today's world. I doubt it very much. But it is possible. Well, I don't think you actually have to face your accusers anymore in America. You just have to be accused of something. And you're guilty. Now, Mr. McDaniel went before the court. And he said, Your Honor, these are not quotes.

This is just me. I'll tell you a whole testimony, but I probably should do that because it's not real. So he went before the judge. And I'm still amazed that something like this happens. I mean, I don't know why I'm amazed because we hear stupid stories all the time. of people reporting things and people being, we have a summons to appear before the judge on Monday. I was protecting my son.

I know, but there's been a complaint filed. So? I have to go before the judge on Monday. Here's your summons. Now, if he doesn't go before the judge, then he's got a warrant. Probably ends up in prison, all for protecting his son with a plastic,

baseball bat against one of them mean gooses because geese is mean man I mean there's videos all over the internet showing these nasty geese's and guinea hands and big old birds yapping at people across the street and attacking them but I can't protect my four-year-old son a new the bird is lucky to be alive mr. McDaniel goes before the court and the judge, raise your hand if you think the judge agreed with the father or disagreed with the father. If you think the judge disagreed with the father, raise your hand. You're right. You're right.

The court didn't agree with his actions and issued a fine along with court costs. to Mr. McDaniel. Agonizing. Agonizing. Now, the aggressive fine was $25. The court cost was $133. Not a lot, right?

Not a lot at all. However, that really isn't the point. Now, and James McDaniel, the father, you know, he's not going to have to pay the money because one of the Fox 59 Indianapolis viewers said that's ridiculous and I'll pay it for him. So he's got people behind him. So if you're the person who came out of your house, or maybe you stayed in your house with your little binoculars, and you thought you had to call

authorities because this guy was protecting his son against the geese and, you know, you said, is mean birds? You won. You won. But not really because Mr. McDaniel protected his son. The bird lived. There are rules. You can protect

yourself. You can protect yourself. I really think what happened is that he swang three or four times swung, swang, beat, pummeled. Probably, you know, because the bird is attacking and geese's is mean man and so he got carried away and he didn't

you know so he got carried away didn't kill the bird and the lady you can only you can only use you know justified force against animals so whatever the force is coming against you with the animals and whatever the animal is is the reactionary force that you can use which is all subject to interpretation, right? And obviously the person who filed the complaint and the judge thought that it was too much. He said he only swang once. That's what he said. That's what he said. But again, I would reiterate that as long as the bird is alive and it didn't touch my son, I did the right thing. I don't want you to kill the mean geese. But if he's attacking your kid, Yeah, the plastic bat's going down.

Me and the mean geese is going at it. Hard. But not in Marion County. You do that in Indianapolis. You're going to be fine. You are going to be fine. So I guess it's okay to protect your kids, but you just can't beat the mean geese's of Indianapolis.

You know, we used to... No, I can't tell that story. Nope. can't tell that story. 888-90-3033-93, and some people at this network will be very happy that I did actually, right then. You witnessed it.
