A year after this shoot ‘em up at a church on his block, the man who stayed home in case he might get a midnight plumbing call at a local hospital, and instead, ended up in a chase down a highway, believes that what happened that day was a battle between good and evil. He says he was terrified, but he thinks the calm he experienced was the Holy Spirit taking over. He tells people he thinks it was the Lord’s hand shielding him as the man doing evil fired over and over again in his direction. And looking back now, he feels like God had been shaping him every day of his life, carving him into the perfect tool for that day.

There are a couple of good stories about dealing with bobcats here:

KTXS is reporting that Paula Kitchens was alerted to the cat prowling around her backyard by her dog barking. Kitchens six-year-old son plays in her back yard near Loop 322 and Oldham Lane.

Coyotes and cougars will also stalk and kill your children and pets, if given the chance.

And this lady killed a rabid bobcat with her bare hands:

“They go for your jugular,” the Georgia woman recently told OnlineAthens. “Because when they can get the vein you’re dead in a couple of minutes.”

That intel on the wildcat’s attack plan may have been what saved Phillips’ life. On June 7, the 46-year-old came face-to-face with a rabid bobcat, setting off a bare-knuckle death struggle between Phillips and the animal. She won – killing the cat with her hands.

“I thought, ‘Not today,'” she told OnlineAthens. “There was no way I was going to die.”

Phillips was taken to the hospital, where she was treated for cuts and gashes, as well as broken fingers. She also is undergoing treatment with the rabies vaccine.

“It was either me or the cat and it was going to be the cat that day,” Phillips told WYFF.
