No matter the situation…only cowards jump people. We are praying the reasoning behind this jumping wasn’t over him voting for Donald Trump, but it sure does look like it.

SMH! Stop the senseless violence people.

Tennessee Firefighter Hospitalized After Beheaded Rattlesnake Bite

A Spring Hill, Tennessee, firefighter found out just how dangerous a rattlesnake can be even with its head cut off.

According to KTLA:

Kyle Watson was evacuated by helicopter from a remote trail at the Creeks Bend Natural Wildlife Area in Maury County, when he came across a juvenile timber rattlesnake while hiking with his wife and three children, according to Nashville-area television station KSMV.

There were a number of people on the trail at the time. Watson was concerned that hikers would be in danger with the rattler so close to the trail.

“I decided to cut the head off the snake with a kayak paddle,” Watson told the station.

The snake was only a few feet long. After Watson decapitated the snake, he wanted to show his children the head. Unable to pick the snake’s head up with the paddle, Watson used his hand.

What happened next could only be described as terrifying.

“The head turned and struck me on the finger. It latched on and I slung it off,” Watson said.

The snake packed a poisonous punch, and venom began to course through his body.

“It took about 10 seconds for the burning sensation to start shooting through my arm. Within 60 seconds, I was unconscious. I fell on the trail and hit the back of my head on a rock. I was knocked out. In a remote area, bleeding from the head and bitten by a snake,” Watson said.

Creeks Bend Natural Wildlife Area encompasses thousands of acres of pristine land by the Duck River, but it’s also miles from help.

Following a quick response by Maury County Fire and Emergency Medical Services, Watson was stabilized in the field.

He was flown to Vanderbilt Medical Center, where he was quickly put on an IV drip of anti-venom serum.

A toxicologist with Vanderbilt Medical Center told KSMV the only treatment that can save someone bitten by a poisonous snake is anti-venom serum.

America Grapples With How To Move Forward In The Donald Trump Era

Donald Trump, who dealt a stunning political blow to Hillary Clinton and the established order when he was elected the 45th President of the United States on Tuesday, now faces the challenge of governing a divided American electorate after a notoriously bitter campaign.

On election night, Clinton supporters voiced fear and frustration, overwhelmed and bewildered by their candidate’s unexpected loss. Some said they would avoid listening to news the next day; others predicted it would feel like waking up in an unfamiliar country. But on Wednesday, top Democratic and Republican leaders delivered a common message. They compared an unprecedented presidential election to those that came before and called on Americans across the political spectrum to unite in its wake.

“Now, as we do every four years, we have to work to heal the divisions of a long campaign,” Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said. “This needs to be a time of redemption, not a time of recrimination. We all need to rededicate ourselves to making America great and making it a more perfect union.”

“Everybody is sad when their side loses an election, but the day after we have to remember that we’re actually all on one team,” President Barack Obama said. “This is an intramural scrimmage. We’re not Democrats first. We’re not Republicans first. We are Americans first. We’re patriots first.”

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a liberal leader who was one of Trump’s most outspoken critics during the campaign, offered to “put aside our differences” and work with him to improve the economy. Trump, in his victory speech, praised Clinton for a hard-fought campaign and asked Americans to “bind the wounds of division”—wounds he had so often opened himself.

Those wounds appeared most painful for Clinton supporters gathered at what was supposed to be her victory party in New York City. Before the results came in, they voiced concern about what a Trump victory would mean.

“I fear it’ll just exacerbate and cause more separation between Americans and the world,” said Wendy Siskin, 41. “I don’t think we’ll be in a safe place. I don’t think we’ll be in a loving place.”

Syed Zaidi, 51, said early in the night that he disagreed with Trump’s approach to immigration and viewed his prospective presidency as “very scary.” Holding a sign that read, “Great leaders unite, they do not divide,” atop Clinton’s “Stronger Together” slogan, Zaidi said he hoped both parties would come together no matter who won the election.

“It’s too much hatred, too much hatred in the country,” he said. “The whole world is looking at us as a democratic country in the world, you know? People come from all over the world for the freedom of democracy here.”
