Wild scene in France earlier this morning…well…I guess it wasn’t “this morning” in France…but….we saw the clip here in America first thing this morning. Yeah! That’s what I’m saying. Anyway, let’s just get to the clip so we can break this down.
A horse escaped from her stable and galloped into a bar while patrons sat inside, causing them to run to safety as the animal kicked tables and chairs before leaving the site. No one was hurt in the incident. https://t.co/eDwUCq9iql pic.twitter.com/TFlYyYUp5l

There’s a lot to break down here.
First of all, the owners of this bar are extremely fortunate that the only damage done was the chair being kicked lightly enough for it to move a little bit. I’m seeing that horse coming, and I’m thinking we’re about to have busted windows, broken tables, maybe – worst case scenario – the whole building falls down on top of us. But, I tend to be a pessimist, so that could just be me.
But, can you imagine what this poor horse was thinking, though?!?! “WTF is this place? A stable for humans?” Was this horse making a concerted effort NOT to do damage – “this looks like a nice place – I’m not going to completely ravage it, but I’m just upset and want these people to know I’m upset.” Imagine the horse’s disgust when it got to the end of the bar and nothing was there – “WELP – guess I’ll go back now.”
I’m glad to see that no person or horse was harmed here, because shit like this can go sideways in a hurry. Still, ‘fight or flight’ does something interesting to us all.
Take this lady for example:
Y’all learned something about her today – when shit goes South, she will literally push your ass out the way to save her skin.
This dude:
…is just outright lucky he didn’t get kicked in the face. Couldn’t get out of the way in time, and just had to send up a prayer that this spooked horse didn’t bury a hoof in his gut. Props to him for getting the hell out of dodge the moment he saw his opportunity. It’s hard to outrun a horse, I don’t care how many steps you get on it. This guy was running for his life – if you had timed it, I bet he beats John Ross’ 40 time from the combine.
Finally, this guy:
…100% stole something. How do I know? Just watch him – the way he gets up from his table, the way he calmly takes a couple of steps to survey the scene, then BOLTS. Second, look at him look up at the camera on his way out. This is classic thievery, folks.
Heath Ledger as The Joker would be proud of this capitalization on chaos. Now, here’s a link to a random article to improve SEO.
