American citizen Kate Steinle is shot dead and the lying African remains silent.
Think about that.
Lol. Yeah I thought about that after I wrote it.
"In October 1926, at age 72, Eastman returned from his first safari in East Africa. It was no small affair. ... At its height, the Eastman party included 13 cars, 80 African natives, 28 camels, and five mules. The hunters killed more than 100 animals, including gazelles, cheetahs, lions, rhinoceroses, and impalas. Eastman bagged his limit of five lions, including one that stood its ground to protect a lioness and two cubs."
Anything I don't know how to do must be easy.
I believe the elephant head is in the Eastman House along with other trophies....unless they have been removed to be more PC.
You think the MSM and the anti-firearm/hunter population really care? They don't want to know the truth......
And in their minds, George Zimmerman is STILL guilty......Unfortunately for Mr. Palmer, he spent approx. $55,000 on a lion that humans stupidly named Cecil.......
Cecil the Lion outrage is Huge Nonsense
Nobody cared that Larry the Wildebeast was killed the week before......
I think he probably cares about the fact that people are talking about him as if he's not human. See, I'm suggesting that he step forward so that he can improve his situation, not your situation. His life is probably pretty miserable right now.
I understand what you are saying but you have conveniently ignored the analogy that I posted to you before. There's not a damn thing Mr. Palmer can say that will alleviate the attention the MSM has thrown on him.
So stop beating the dead horse.
If you wish to be a member of his PR team, that's fine but don't try to convince me because I've already aired my comments..........Thanks
“Right now, it seems that he probably wanted to put a lion’s head on his wall because he thought that the trophy might somehow bolster his image as a man - that it might make him seem more masculine than he thinks people are viewing him now. I think he was hoping that people who see the trophy might think that he had earned it by engaging in acts of personal courage by challenging and defeating a dangerous predator. You know, there are people who buy and wear service medals that they didn’t earn. People do a lot of weird things for a lot of weird reasons. Traveling halfway around the world to kill a defenseless lion seems so pointless, so gratuitous. But, he must have had some kind of reason.
Anyway, his actual motives might be completely different. Maybe he just hates animals.”
This comment is so gratuitous, so clueless, so over the top that I believe that you actually believe it. If you wish to understand even a scintilla of a hunter’s motivation, here is a book for you to read:

Calling a 400 lb cat with big teeth and claws, who has fought his way to the top of a pride “defenseless”, is a clue that your assumptions about reality are suspect.
Lions are not cuddly little cartoon characters.
I see. This guy has just trashed his whole life and your conclusion is that I should read a book full of hunting psychobabble.
Look, what this guy has done may seem like good sense to you, but I don't think he agrees with you anymore. The whole incident was pointless, self-destructive and expensive. When he comes out of hiding, I want you to listen to what he says.
Yea sure. And give the press/ubummer some red meat to go after this guy? I’m sure his lawyer has said to just shut up. When you get in trouble with the law, I’d like to see you go to the press and spill your guts.
