A Dangerous Hoax: Texas Police Deal With A Porch Pirate Going Out For A Bite!

Hello.

It was determined as a hoax. But still take the moment to read this.

A man who stole a package from a person's home is now fighting for his life after he was bitten by a venomous animal. The man was bitten by several black widow spiders.

The black widow spider is one of the most dangerous arachnids in North America.

The brown recluse spider is considered more dangerous because of the animal's bite being so small. People will not notice it hiding in places around the home until its too late.

The female spider carries a powerful nuerotoxin that can cause a person who may be allergic to insect bites a fatal reaction. It is usually shy when approached by humans and usually tries to avoid contact. But often if a person does get bitten by one, they won't notice the bite until the symptoms begin. 

Dry bites are often used in scaring off predators.

The neurotoxin latrotoxin, which causes the condition latrodectism, both named after the genus. Female widow spiders have unusually large venom glands, and their bite can be particularly harmful to large vertebrates, including humans. However, despite their notoriety, Latrodectus bites rarely cause death or produce serious complications.

A member of the family Theridiidae, this genus contains 34 species, which include several North American "black widows" (southern black widow Latrodectus mactans, western black widow Latrodectus hesperus, and northern black widow Latrodectus variolus). Besides these, North America also has the red widow Latrodectus bishopi and the brown widow Latrodectus geometricus, which, in addition to North America, has a much wider geographic distribution. Elsewhere, others include the European black widow (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus), the Australian redback spider (Latrodectus hasseltii) and the closely related New Zealand katipō (Latrodectus katipo), several different species in Southern Africa that can be called button spiders, and the South American black-widow spiders (Latrodectus corallinus and Latrodectus curacaviensis). Species vary widely in size. In most cases, the females are dark-coloured and can be readily identified by reddish markings on the central underside (ventral) abdomen, which are often hourglass-shaped.

A person bitten by a widow will see severe muscle pain, abdominal cramps, diaphoresis, tachycardia, and muscle spasms. Symptoms usually last for 3–7 days, but may persist for several weeks.

Now porch pirates are a common issue in the country. The USPS mail carrier, UPS driver, FedEx Ground driver, DHL driver, Amazon deliverer, DoorDasher, Uber Eats driver, GrubHub driver and Shipt deliverer will make a delivery to your home.

A porch pirate waits for the right moment to take the package and run with it.

Some victims resort to dangerous tactics. 

Putting animal or human feces, rocks, explosive devices, urine, wildlife and chemicals inside packages are considered booby traps. You can be held liable for injury if the porch pirate is injured.

By law, property is not as important as life. So if you harm a person with a booby trap, you can be held liable. 

Again, watching wildlife from a distance is safer than going near.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I don't get why some of these people believe it's their mission to disrupt the lives of others. 

This is why Republicans are idiots. Democrats are idiots too but at least some of them have the sense to not engage in stupidity. Not saying all Republicans are idiots, but definitely the ones who voted for President Donald J. Trump are.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

Interacting with uncontacted people is dangerous. Well, they are.... you know!"
