Hunters Mistake Man For Coyote

(Van Wert, OH) A Van Wert man hunting coyotes in a field was shot to death Sunday by another hunter who confused him for one of the animals, authorities confirmed yesterday.

Trevor Ellerbrock, 27, died in Van Wert County Hospital after being shot once in the abdomen. Authorities said the resemblance between Ellerbrook and a typical coyote was "striking."

"He was out there howling at the full moon and gnawing on the thigh bone of a freshly-killed sheep," said Sheriff Stan Owens. "From 50 yards, who can blame the hunter for thinking he was bagging a coyote?"

Ellerbrook was shot by Troy Clark, also of Van Wert. Clark said that the creature "grinned" before making a lunge toward him.

"Creepiest thing I ever seen," said Clark. "I got the impression that...that THING was going to rip my throat out."

U must be the sorriest person alive. How could one come up with such a fucking dumb ass story. HIS wife is one my of best friends and you are so stupid to make up such a thing. How can you belittle the death of a man knowing that there is a chance one of his family members or friend that might read this. I feel that there was another way u could have got your point across.

1. This is SATIRE, idiot. If you could actually read (which I have my suspicions about), you would understand that the purpose of satire is to communicate a deeper message.

In this case, it is the blithering stupidity of a hunter who could "mistake" a human being for a coyote.

2. No one is "belittling the death of" Trevor Ellerbrock. The purpose of this piece is to point out the terrible tragedy of his death at the hands of someone who probably should not have owned a gun.

Get a clue, and stop being such a whiny, politically-correct imbecile.

1. Yes, satire can sting. Get over it.

2. Agreed.

3. No way to do it without referencing the story.

4. Nope, Subcomandante Bob is not a reporter. In fact, he doesn't exist, except in the sense that Ronald McDonald exists. He's a face for the blog.

5. Satire will offend some people. Talk to your therapist.
