Raccoons: Cute, or Evil?

Well, it depends. One evening a few years ago I was sitting by the Sutro Baths when a gang of raccoons came out to sniff the garbage. That was cute. But when one of them came charging in my direction, pure evil in its eyes, well, that was terrifying. The way they walk? Is creepy. And the black fur around their eyes? Of course that makes them look unlawful.

But they can also be cute, as is demonstrated by this video taken in front of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite.
