Kansas man doesn't want to pay $275 fine for kicking gull's ***

No one steals ice cream from Dragan Djuric's wife. Not without receiving a severe beat down, which one really unlucky gull found out on New Year's Eve in Laguna Beach.

Djuric and his wife were enjoying frozen treats when a greedy gull swooped in and stole his wife's ice cream. Being a man of action, Djuric grabbed a stick and started swinging, breaking one of the gull's wings. Except Djuric messed with the wrong kind of gull. This was a rare species, which did not please the ice cream stealing rare bird enablers at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They fined Djuric $275, overlooking Djuric's claims of self-defense.

Now, Djuric is appealing the fine, a brilliant move sure to keep his man-against-nature fight in news of the weird sections in papers across the country. Take that, gulls.

Didn't quite know where to put it, FMA, Stick Fighting, or elsewhere ... :rofl:

What style of SD do you think he trains ... Wing chun perhaps?

I do not know but this has got to be a joke right?

I live here in KS and I cannot find anything about it. I train a few guys who work for KWP, so I will ask them about it.



But I am thinking that it has to be a joke.

The guy was from Kansas but the article mentions Laguna Beach, so I'm guessing the matter happened in SoCal.

not a joke, although the connecting it to martial arts part was.

File it under "Animal Cruelty".

Kendo. That was not a wing shot; that was the seagull's kote.
