    The lion is breaking human law. We just want to put them in the Great Adventure safari. The children being killed by ISIS are innocent

    A lot of people in a lot of place like animals a whole lot. Same people who, incidentally, happen to be more tolerant and peaceful, more compassionate of their neighbors. Same people who happen to think about their relationship and responsibility in this world, their place, and their role. Maybe not understand it completely, but at least stop and think.

    i guess we like our 'flavor of the week' like Kony. Everybody wants to 'feel good' because they care. I say put your money where your mouth is an donate money to legit lion preservation groups or better yet go volunteer to be a warden.

    What about Tom Brady? Should he be a national news story? Does he support Planned Parenthood? Did you ever kill a lion? You can tell the truth, you are among friends.

    Brady could be a national sports story but IMO its way 'overinflated'.

    No, they are not - they are Muslim children and probably were wearing blue jeans or something. Or didn't have their bee keeper outfit on correctly or something

    F%$# you yankee blue jeans.

    And, Pump, it's not a national story it's a global news item. Global.

    Good one! Yup, I'm sick of hearing about it. A couple kids got lost on a boat out of Jupiter Inlet and that also made the national news. So what are they diverting us from?

    Yeah, yeah, yeah....just like you do with the things that you're passionate about, right?

    And, btw, you're making an assumption with your statement there that the people who find the jackhole dentist's abhorrent behavior to be revolting are not donating to lion preservation groups and / or volunteering to help.

    People have the right to vent / express themselves in re something they find repulsive. You don't like hearing it, apparently, on what you term "a national level." We disagree - - I do think this is an item that deserves the attention it is receiving.

    I think everyone likes a good villain to hate. ISIS, Brady, the lion hunter douche, it's cathartic. Look at the bad man!

    another thing is the rush to judgement before all the facts are in. It may be that the guides saw a perfect set up to get a quick kill for this guy and took it so that makes him 'innocent' and puts the blame on the guides for killing this cat. Same thing happened to Wilson in Ferguson and he was vindicated.

    Are you bringing up random examples of human violence? Has nothing to do with the case at hand.
    Besides, nobody pulled the trigger FOR Palmer, hence he is not innocent. He paid good money for this experience and now he's got more than he bargained for. Sadly he only mentioned his "regrets" when the matter went public and the backlash spread like wildfire, otherwise... Who knows of this "man" would even lose a minute of his sleep. That's sad, dude.

    What's with this rushing judgement without details stuff?

    The guy wants to go to Africa to kill big game.

    That's all one needs to know.

    Jeez, men with their inferiority complexes when it comes to being a MAN and macho. They just have to go kill animals and keep them as some trophy. Some testament to their vigorous manliness.

    Really, there is something VERY, VERY wrong with a person that places the heads of animals he kills above his fireplace. That is so trucked up. I'd shoot that dude in the pen!s if I could get away with it. Ha, maybe I'll cut his pen!s off and mount it in my living room.

    See, people think they are special for some reason.
