Beware the sour ape.

That gorilla needs some botox. Both of them.

[Texas dog]

Poor Gorilla was probably watching coverage of Dick Clarke; would drive even a simian to rage...

[GreenLanternCorps]

I hope they track down those kids, they bear a lot of the responsibility for the damage done and the death of the animal.

[billorites]

Grab that minkey!

[dead]

These kids are jerks, but they're not the morons who built an escapable gorilla enclosure.

[Gefreiter]

I expect the UN will condemn this gorilla's unilateral action.

He should have consulted with his fellow gorillas and set up some commissions to discuss his feelings of being harassed by humans, and how he could have focused his anger into more constructive pursuits.

In a tape of one 911 call released by authorities Monday, a zoo secretary calmly tells the operator that police are needed. In another call, Dallas resident Enrique DeLeon urgently requests help.

"There's a gorilla loose, and it's going after people," he says frantically.

"Are you serious?" the dispatcher asks.

Ah, Dallas, my hometown. The city with the incredulous 911 operators.

And people wonder why we bailed for Tarrant County.

"I'm thinking he just got angry enough at being harassed and he either made the climb of his life or a leap and got lucky," Kaemmerer said.

Find the two youths, cage them, pelt them with rocks, then shoot them dead.

I hope they track down those kids, they bear a lot of the responsibility for the damage done and the death of the animal.

I agree. I hope they have some surveillance tapes showing who did it or that someone turns them in. Then they deserve a fitting punishment, like having to shovel out the elephant pen for six months while people throw things at them.

[Hacksaw]

But it also left the zoo without a solid explanation of how the 13-year-old gorilla got past walls 12 to 16 feet high with moats and electrified wires. Jabari, who injured two women and a 3-year-old boy, was fatally shot by police after he charged at them.

Surprised there aren't angry libertarians complaining about the "jackboots" and violations of the gorilla's civil rights.

uhh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh cool

[GulliverSwift]

"Somebody just shot Kennedy!"

"Yeah right."

[It's me]

OH Please!!!!

They are giving the gorilla way too much credit.

It did what it would do if it saw someone in the wild.

"There's a gorilla loose, and it's going after people," he says frantically. "Are you serious?" the dispatcher asks. Ah, Dallas, my hometown. The city with the incredulous 911 operators. You must admit that is somewhat of an odd call coming in.

[dead]

Can you imagine the mess in the pants of these teenagers when they saw Jabari clear the fence?

I tell ya, is this a teen movie waiting to be filmed, or what?

"Ah, Dallas, my hometown. The city with the incredulous 911 operators. And people wonder why we bailed for Tarrant County."

The traffic alone is plenty of reason to move here, Im sure youve noticed and appreciate it.

Im surprised (but grateful) that there isnt more road rage in Dallas county with all the traffic and daily jams.

BTW, Welcome to Tarrant,where we build better gorilla cages. ;o

[CJ Wolf]

Umm how come the zoo doesn't keep guns, or at least tranqulizer guns at the ready? Come on it is Texas for goodness sake.

Old school: "That's a tranquilizer gun. Any of these little f***ers decide to freak out on the kids, I get to take them down."

[ClearCase_guy]

DeLeon said he borrowed a utility knife from a young boy and began cutting the mesh netting of the aviary

Have they arrested the young boy yet?

[Monty22]

The traffic here in Dallas is unreal. I don't know why they can't do something about it.
