yeah it probably fell out of the tree and was likely just trying to get out of the water and saw your boat as a good opportunity to do so.


No man, no. I remember this like yesterday. The snake slithered, not fell, out of the tree. Then swam at least 50 ft. over to the boat. Literally every move was deliberate.

That doesn't sound like a snake that was aggressive, or that charged.



:confused:

this snake was hanging out in a cypress tree until we boat in to fish, then drops into the water, then swims 50 ft. to climb into our boat.

Thank you actual lawyer. I will sleep better tonight.



Like I said, that's probably how it shakes out, and I hope that's the case. BUT.... if the prosecutor is a dick, he could bring the case based on the facts alone.

Just so you know the process if that happens.... first, the prosecutor would have a warrant issued for you. Then, you'd either get arrested or they'd have you come in (not 100% sure how that works for the small stuff). Then, you'd have to go to an arraignment and make an appearance, where you could either settle by taking a plea or go to pretrial. At pretrial they'd give you the state's best offer, which would probably be a fine and perhaps some kind of anger management class. If you didn't plea out, then it would go to trial and you'd probably win. But, it would cost you.

technically it's a terroristic threat and could be considered up to a Class A misdemeanor depending on the circumstances.

But, he would have to prove that he reasonably believed he was in fear for his life and the burden of proof would be upon him to provide evidence that his belief was justified.

He could press criminal charges or civil charges. A prosecutor would probably not even bring the case unless the particular office likes to crack down on petty stuff.

If civil, I doubt any lawyer would be willing to take him on contingent to an award of damages from you. And unless he really fricking hates you, he's not going to pay the fees to bring a case against you.

So, you're probably fine.
People always say they aren’t aggressive and won’t charge. But my first experience with one up close was with me, my paw paw, and my great uncle who had ptsd fishing on Caddo Lake in a flat bottom boat. The snake dropped out a tree, into the water, then climbed up the transom and got into the boat. I was sitting in between my paw paw and my great uncle in the back who flipped out and nearly rocked us out of the boat. My uncle managed to keep the snake at bay, but we had nothing to kill it with cause it was wrapped around the oar. So paw paw trolled us back to shore to get something to hit it with, when some ol baws pulled up beside us and whacked it with a spent shell casing from a tank one of them had on hand. Good times!

You can always start over. Just remember to bring the knowledge you gained with you into the new venture and do the best you can.

My prof told us what happened, so I went back to my dorm and called my uncle, who owned a print shop at the time right across the East River in Brooklyn. He was sitting on the roof talking to me on the phone as the second plane hit giving me a moment by moment recap of everything he saw.

All minimum wage laws are terrible ideas. All it does is keep small businesses from forming that otherwise would have and prevent teens from getting jobs.

It also conditions people not to be self reliant and negotiate their own pay.

I might have to go with tractor supply. Looked at the ASFs on the lot at a local feed store and some areas on the outside of the hopper opposite the welds for the wire and motor were already starting to rust.

Field n streams seemed a little bit better quality, and all had damn good paint jobs, which I presume would keep the rust at bay for quite a while longer. Really wanna go with a local supplier and builder, but they ain’t making it easy for me.
