Sicker people
WTF?
Core values, i guess.
UPDATE: WRAL has a story saying this was a prank, and that a bunch of WCU students "found" the bear, already shot, in the woods. The Obama signs were picked up at random and wrapped around the head wounds to keep "blood from spilling into the bed of the truck they were driving."
WCU chancellor John Bardo is quoted in the story as saying "I am pleased to hear that this situation appears to be a stupid prank."
Yeah, right.
A dead bear was found dumped this morning on the Western Carolina University campus, draped with a pair of Obama campaign signs, university police said.

Maintenance workers reported about 7:45 a.m. finding a 75-pound bear cub dumped at the roundabout near the Catamount statute at the entrance to campus, said Tom Johnson, chief of university police.
“It looked like it had been shot in the head as best we can tell. A couple of Obama campaign signs had been stapled together and stuck over its head,” Johnson said.
University police called in N.C. Wildlife Resources officials to remove the body and help in the investigation. Bear season is currently under way in Western North Carolina.
Core values, i guess.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I'd probably be happy if all we wound up with was a dead bear, but I think it's likely to get worse.
