Sometimes...

Just remember this: When you go up close to Geese, they feel threatened, and run away.

... Racoons don't run away. :/

I don't know if they bite, I ran for my life before I could test that.

Raccoons would only "attack" something that is attacking them. They may also "attack" small animals that they intend to eat. Raccoons do not "like" to attack things, it is just a part of life that they must do to survive.

If a raccoon is sick with such disorders as rabies or distemper ir may attack unprovoked. Otherwise raccoons generally try to avoid confrontations with humans unless they are cornered and feel threatened.

It is possible, especially if the raccoon is suffering from rabies or distemper which can alter the ability of a raccoon to 'think' clearly. However, healthy raccoons try to avoid human confrontations so it is unlikely that a raccoon would attack a person unprovoked.

Raccoons will try to avoid confrontations with humans. Only an unhealthy raccoon (rabies) or a cornered raccoon would attack a person.

I have lived in many houses adjoining wooded areas and have been visited by many raccoons. I've never seen one being aggressive in any way to humans

Will raccoons attack a mother cat with kittens for food?

I assume you mean jugular and not juggler. Raccoons avoid humans and will not attack unless they are rabid or someone is trying to corner and capture them. They will bite and scratch viciously to avoid capture but they will not attack.

Was there ever a raccoon attack where it went for the juggler?

Healthy raccoons rarely attack humans and I have never heard of them 'going for the juggler.' Why would a raccoon attack a juggler? Was the juggler juggling the raccoon's babies? In such a case, a raccoon might attack to protect her young.
