Rattlesnakes don't hunt people down indoors, but drunken asshats with pet rattlesnakes do:
Meet Rodger Hunter. Monday night, the Idaho Falls man, 28, went to his local pub--accompanied by his mother--to knock back a few. But after a tiff with mom Sheila, 47, Hunter left Chic's in a huff. This is when things got screwy. Rodger returned an hour later carrying his pet rattlesnake, which Hunter tossed into the crowded watering hole.
The snake has been confiscated. I hope it is returned to the wild, where it will enjoy a substantially more productive life than the boneheaded Mr. Hunter.
