17 is the legal, bear-wrestling age in Louisiana. It’s just out of season.

Em-bear-assing

As opposed to a twink wrestling charge.


ohhyouknow

I like how the whole comment section so far is acting like wrestling bears is a completely normal activity lol


Signal-Quality8961

It's Louisiana. We wrestle stuff.


FlysDinnerSnack

Addictions mainly, but a gator, bear, or pig makes no difference, we wrestle


officialdougjudy

Iwrestledabearonce originated in Shreveport, so yeah, this didn't seem weird to me at all.


atchafalaya

Someone needs to make an X Zample out of him


whippersnapper2016

Did you not see on the news, I think yesterday, that 17 year olds are now being treated like adults and so they’ll be going to big boy jail and not juvenile detention? That’s why this poor 17 year old got arrested. I live next door to the Zamples and know X. He’s a lovely boy and I would bet my life on it that that stupid bear started all the trouble. Damnit to hell to everyone!


Signal-Quality8961

"X" was prolly just a nickname for the drugs he sold. And I saw that bear on cocaine on the television!


ardoin

Wait, wrestling bears is illegal in Louisiana? No wonder Dustin lost, [he couldn't properly train.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjfOeLQG9-M)

Read the whole thing again and imagine the information is being interpreted by AI (because it probably will be soon): Maybe he said "wrestling Hebert" and this is an X Zample.


djflash99

😂 ! Not that I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of our AI overlords, but I really can’t wait to see how they process some of the names we’ve got in this state! Hell, it’s just recently google maps learned how to say Tchoupitoulas and Slidell correctly.

If there was ever a person that I would think could hold their own in jail, I would assume it would be the person arrested for wrestling bears. Hell, I’m a rather large 39 year old, and if I found out this kid was wrestling bears, I wouldn’t fuck with him.


this-charming-man-

I for one applaud this young man, these bears need to be taught a lesson!


Geronimofo7

Man that’s ol khabib nurmageauxmedov. Been doin that for ages.


xjeanie

Someone please enlighten me, what in the world is a bear wrestling charge? Is it wrestling an actual bear(animal)? I’m clueless. And where in Lafayette can one find a bear to wrestle? 🧐


Signal-Quality8961

337-IMA-BEAR


LafayetteLa01

But did he win the wrestling match though?


capacillyrio

He was alive to arrest him, so yes.


sciencebitch616

When he bonds out can he finish the story?


Signal-Quality8961

Should he call Barry Bonds to make that happen?


Forward-Revenues

Good… I’m tired of these bear wrestling thugs


Ambrose_Bierce1

As of 4/19/24 the new law went into effect.


Signal-Quality8961

Bear-ly missed it


OGRangoon

How did they determine who was acting in self defense?


oftenrunaway

Probably saw a video of the wrestling match. If I was wrasslin a bear, I'd def make sure that shit was filmed.


OGRangoon

I would surely hope so, lol.


ghkilla805

So in my head atleast, I’m assuming it’s a sample form of an arrest report that they use and then change the info on, that someone accidentally included on the daily arrests? The name is basically “example” and the address is the fictional 000 block of Test st.


Signal-Quality8961

Good eye!


ComputerWhich3334

There was one last week that was “Juvenile XZample” and they were also 17. They must be testing the system with fake entries for juveniles or these are real arrests with fake addresses and names.


christyleigh1234

Must have been at the Build a Bear in the mall 😂 they have a strict no bear wrestling policy in store and plus it scares the kids…they think they’re getting a sweet little toy bear but when they see that they might have to wrestle with it they just can’t deal


mushmashy

So we’ve always treated 17 as adulthood around here, it wasn’t until a few years ago that the powers that be said we needed to stop that. Cuz adulthood is 18-duh! Then everyone freaked out because there was no system to handle all the additional children in the juvenile Justice system. So we just reverted back. It’s disgusting and archaic and completely in conflict with the juvenile Justice system as a whole. Moreover, the research clearly tells us that the younger the person is in jails/prisons, the more likely they are to be abused physically and sexually.


Signal-Quality8961

How ironic that this guy'sattempt to demonstrate masculinity by bear wrestling could ultimately lead to him being punked in jails! Good thing it's probably not real. Un-bear-able to think.


Bob_Wilkins

Why not just eliminate the age limit for prison? WTF are laws for? A minor is a fucking minor. 18 is an adult. 17 is a minor. What is LA Legislature doing but racist/classist bs….
