The grizzlies in Montana seem increasingly disgruntled. In the fifth such incident for the state, a man in Great Falls heard a disturbance with his chickens on the night of July 10 and left his residence to check on them. A grizzly bear was getting into the chicken coop, and reportedly charged the man, who shot it dead. Of the five reported incidents in Montana since April, this is the third involving a grizzly on someone’s property. (krtv.com, Great Falls, Mont., 7/17/25)
On July 17, a mob of thieves attempted to rob a jewelry story in Anaheim, Calif. Security video shows about 20 people, several of them armed with pickaxes and sledgehammers, exiting four or five cars in the parking lot. They began smashing the store’s door, but the employees armed themselves, and the store owner fired a shot at one of the vandals, causing all of them to flee. The same store reportedly had been previously targeted as well, but the robbers were unable to get in, and another jewelry store nearby had been robbed after a vehicle was crashed through the storefront. The store owner bewilderingly attributed the robbery attempts to hunger. (foxla.com, Los Angeles, Calif., 7/20/25)
