Why is this douchebag who shot a lion such a big news story?

[Tsing Tao]

Yes, he does deserve to be destroyed in every possible way. Trophy hunting isn't hunting. It's an abomination. He should be exposed and tormented as we would a child rapist. No mercy from me. None!

In my opinion, he deserves the attention not because of the trophy hunting (which was disgusting in my opinion) but because he was so fucking stupid as to post on social media boasting about it.

This guy will be hiding out in a cabin in the middle of Montana soon enough...His dental practice is finished and he'll have to move out of that big house in the burbs soon enough...With all of these social media vigilante's, he's completely screwed.

This is no different than the media's obsession with white cops shooting black thugs. They totally ignore the 1000 times greater rate of blacks shooting each other or innocent whites.

Trophy hunting is despicable, but African poaching, mismanagment of resources and corruption are endemic. it's only news when they can target a rich white american.

On a side note, does anybody know why the first thread about this POS was deleted?

Maybe because a rich, white American is the only one who can afford to go to Africa and pay $55,000 to go on a hunt? Bringing race into this is just plain silly, AAA.

Wow, this guy is in deep shit.

Even my wife was on the phone with her friends last night about this lion killing, and it's unusual for her to be discussing anything in the news except Calgary oil and gas news.

Reminds me of this scene from the Floored documentary:

Year after year we argue left v right v libertarian here, but I say it may well be the environmentalists, with their message 50 years old now, who will be proved the most correct.
