A lion that left behind as many as 24 cubs that will be killed now by other male lions. An entire generation of the park’s lion pride wiped out because some rich suburbanite with dick size issues wanted to stroke his ego by bagging a trophy. I’m not really seeing the funny there.

Nope. Cecil was worth a whole lot more to the ecosystem he lived in than some tubby white male suburbanite. Thanks to this guy’s entitled assholery an entire generation of lions will be wiped out because all of Cecil’s cubs (and I’ve heard numbers ranging from 6 to 24 of them) will be killed by whatever lion takes…

I bet if a lot of us Americans actually used our collective outrage for good and made a lot of noise to our representatives about it, it might help a teensy bit. Hell, they can even call it “outsourcing” if it makes them feel better.

All that says is he wasn’t at work yesterday and he released a statement (through a PR firm). Plenty of time to be in Dallas when Kipenzi took that fatal turn through the habitat. Wonder if the exhibit has any grassy knolls...

Yup. Food hunting is one thing, and for some people is even an economic necessity. Hunting just to get off on the thrill of killing something bigger and (under natural circumstances without all the high-tech assistance the modern hunter has) more dangerous than you is psychopathic. These guys are creepy, and we can…

Come to think of it, we don’t know that he wasn’t involved, do we?

I would personally road trip back home to kick my dad’s ass if he ever pulled something like that on me. Making fun of my cat mommishness is one thing, intentionally waving plans to kill a big cat in my face is another. The one I can deal with, the other is grounds for becoming completely dead to me.

This is like the dingleberry on top of the shit sundae here. These microscopic-pricked asshats can’t look beyond their killin’ sumthin’ boners to even begin to think about the very real, serious ecological repercussions of their actions.

War Machine said it. The tattoos and fighter thing was from his letter, he said he was being railroaded because of it.

I’ve seen both, but it’s Marshall’s so there aren’t any guarantees you’ll find any on the day you go in. They have lots of tea there too, I snapped up a few boxes of 40-count Yorkshire Gold for $4 apiece one of the times I was in recently.

Hoooooooly shit that ad is creepy.

For real. Hospital bills don’t pay themselves.

Ooh yeah, I have one of those near me I never thought to check. I bought a pair once at a different one in town for $20, but they were the only pair I saw in the entire store at the time.

I have to be in the mood to deal with the clothing racks at Marshall’s. Usually I just pop into the shoe and purse sections to browse a bit before going into the home goods and checking out what kinds of coffee they have in.

If you know the location of all the cameras and where the sensors on them are, it would probably also be pretty easy to block it long enough to avoid being “seen” by it.

Thanks, I went back and replayed it and caught it that time.

And he doesn’t tell her to get out of the car until she doesn’t put out the cigarette. He asked her if she would do it; she refused, as was her right. There was absolutely no reason to demand she exit the vehicle at that point and he was the one who escalated it.

Unless I just missed it, I don’t recall hearing some of the dialogue in the “official” video that was captured by the bystander videoing nearby. I did hear Sandra Bland shouting “thank you for recording” at someone, presumably that person, but not the officer telling that person to leave, which the other video clearly…

My thoughts exactly.

Definitely feeling the rage on this one too. My dad’s uncle had polio as a child and had to relearn how to walk all over again, and a cousin on my maternal grandfather’s side died from it when she was 8. Parents who think these are acceptable risks compared to the autism bogeyman are assholes.
