Lion killer convicted of poaching in US + sexually harassed a receptionist

[Triana]

This goddamned creep is real piece of work. . . .

. . .


In 2008, Palmer pleaded guilty in federal court in Wisconsin to misleading a federal agent in connection with the hunting of a black bear. Two years earlier, Palmer killed a bear near Phillips, in Price County. That location was 40 miles outside where he held a permit to hunt bear.

Palmer and others transported the bear carcass to a registration station inside the allowed hunting zone. At the station, he falsely certified that the bear had been killed in the legal zone. He then brought the bear to Minnesota.

Twice, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent interviewed Palmer, who said he believed he killed the bear legally.

Facing a maximum penalty of five years in prison, Palmer was sentenced to one year’s probation and fined nearly $3,000.

Trouble also has found Palmer away from his hunting expeditions.

In 2009, he and the Minnesota Board of Dentistry agreed to a settlement involving allegations that he sexually harassed a receptionist. She alleged that Palmer made comments about her breasts, buttocks and genitalia.

Without admitting guilt, Palmer settled and paid $127,500 to the woman, who also was his patient. The settlement included references to his bear-hunting conviction and “substandard record keeping.”

[Triana]

2. Exactly. A supreme ASSHOLE. n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Comparing him is an insult to assholes.

[HFRN]

3. that dead leopard is very sad

such a beautiful animal killed for such a supreme jerk

when that leopard killed, it was because it had to to survive - it didnt live in a 1 mil twin cities home and eat off a debit card

hope this ahole sees his whole world implode

[Lodestar]

4. Just read he has hired a public relations firm.....

guess he thinks enough money can spin this in his favor.
Wow.... a very lost soul indeed.

[olddots]

5. Oh he is sooooooooooooooooo butch !

[SunSeeker]

6. Sickening. NO ONE should be hunting leopards or lions.

Their numbers are so threatened. This evil, sick fuck should be in jail.

[840high]

7. POS.

[CoffeeCat]

8. Typical sociopath

Is anyone really surprised that this man sexually harassed an employee and was also involved in another poaching incident, in which he lied?

Someone who enjoys killing lions has major psychological issues; major control issues and issues with power. So, he kills animals to gain control and power.

This is oh-so typical of abusers. All kinds of abusers. They attempt to destroy those who they perceive as weaker than themselves, because they're out for that sough-after control and power that they seek. Usually their targets are women and children. I am not saying this to defame the man or as hyperbole, but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if it was discovered that he abused his wife and kids--physically and or sexually.

These types are the sickest among us. They are sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists. I don't know what this guy is. I don't care. I'm just sick of weak, spineless pieces of shit like this.

And the lion hunting. First and foremost, it's horrendously sad. But also, this lion was practically tame. This was no challenge at all. All this "big man" did was lure the lion away by tying a dead animal to the bumper of his car. Then, he shot it with an arrow. There is no physical challenge to that stupid act. He didn't have to be strong or clever or cunning. Just a total lazy fuckwit. But this nimrod thinks that he's the big man because he got a tame lion to follow a dead animal strapped to his truck. It's not even hunting!

But in his tiny, weak brain--it's a big victory. What a laughable, delusional piece of shit this man is. It's the same way with sexually harassing the employee. In his damaged little mind, he's the big man for talking about her tits and ass. Glad that employee sued his ass. It's too bad that lion didn't use his ass as a scratching post.

Karma is coming around big and bad for this fuckwit. God only knows what else he's done to those around him, and his wife and kids.

22. The Dark Triad...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

The dark triad [1] is a group of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.[2][3][4] Use of the term "dark" implies that these traits have malevolent qualities:[5][6][7][8]

Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[9]

Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others; a cynical disregard for morality, and a focus on self-interest and deception.[10]

Psychopathy is characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.[11]

All three traits have been associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[12] A factor analysis carried out at the Glasgow Caledonian University found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[10]

33. I have absolutely encountered individuals that fall under this categorization

in the corporate world where I've worked for nearly 30 years.

[Javaman]

34. There is a great book on my "to read" list...

that I'm hoping to start this week...

[CanonRay]

30. Thanks for saying it so well. n/t

[KatyMan]

31. totally agree with everything you say but

Karma isn't real, and this guy is a rich fucker who will get away with everything and still be quite well off and will die peacefully in his bed one day. Look at Cheney/Bush, etc--the cards are stacked for people like this.

[CoffeeCat]

45. I'd like to think that people like this suffer internally...

…they are psychologically warped. They've got a load of denial to keep in place, to avoid facing who and what they are.

That takes a great deal of complex, mental energy. It's got to be tiring. They've got to know that they are weird and are
unlike most people--outcasts.

That's the only suffering I see them experiencing. You are right. These types do get away with murder, and then some. They rarely are held accountable and usually their wealth and power anesthetizes them against any real threats to their ego and the sick world they've built for themselves.

I don't believe in karma, either really. However, these people are not right in the head. Whatever is going inside of them leaves them without peace. They may live most of their lives bathed in denial, but reality creeps in every once in a while, I'm sure. Those fleeting moments must be hell, and their lives are spent trying to avoid the reality of who they are.

It's certainly not punishment enough, but it's something. I've also heard that toward end of life, denial fades. An aging mind simply cannot hold up that brick wall for them any longer. I'd like to think that they face the harsh reality of how they've spent their entire life on this planet. Even if it is for a short time, that has to be hell for them--even if it is just for their last days or hours.

41. Total lazy fuckwit with a microweener.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

9. This bastard needs to be stopped...

in more ways than one.

[trueblue2007]

10. i hope he doesn't live too much longer

i can't type though my tears. i can't type my actual thought. i will get in trouble here.

RIP Cecil, you magnificent boy cat.

[tomm2thumbs]

12. Extradite his sorry ass back to the country where he played big boy and jail him for a decade there

[Kablooie]

13. He's a proud member of Safari Club International. An organization for big game hunters.

The website says they have 50,000 members.
The site is filled with bubble talk about conservation of wildlife.

Yeah.
Conserving enough wildlife so everyone can continue to delight in killing them.

[heusedsarcasm]

14. He gave $5K to Romney/Ryan 2012

Checked out his record at the FEC's site.

[eShirl]

15. FFS, you're a dentist not Vladimir Putin.

[Triana]

19. +1 n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. How long before FOX "News" claims he's a Democrat?

[Lodestar]

39. Palin and Trumps boys added to the list....it seems to be the GOP's m.o.

But I doubt the club is exclusive along party lines. I think the common denominator
may be those with a lot of disposable wealth along with a all the sick-minded behaviors we've
all come to expect.

[LiberalElite]

18. K&R

[City Lights]

20. Hope the fucker loses his practice and goes broke. nt

[Brickbat]

23. If only harassment got the same level of outrage.

[kwolf68]

24. Same level of outrage as what

You mean same level of outrage as killing a Lion?

Huh?

The lady was paid off, she settled (Palmer is still a total POS for his treatment of this lady and I am glad it has come out)....still, the Lion is dead, he had no chance to negotiate. Big difference.

[sub.theory]

25. Even more vile

Walter Palmer turns out to be an even more vile human being the more we learn about him. I'm glad karma's finally catching up to him.

[fredamae]

26. It's the GOP Way n/t

[HFRN]

27. 'look at me! I killed a leopard! nt

[jwirr]

29. What is the PR firm going to say? He killed a protected animal which he lured off the refuge and

shot with a bow and arrow at a close range and then tries to tell us that he did not see the collar?

Those are pretty straight forward facts.

PR can spin a lot of things but facts are facts. Plus now all the other things he has been arrested for are coming out - illegally killing another animal in WI and sexually harassing one of his workers.

It sounds to me like this guy has some real identity issues. Tries too hard to prove he is macho. Look at me I am a big game hunter! And well what else was he doing sexually harassing his workers.

Besides all the other things he should do about what he has done he should also see a psychiatrist.

[Shrike47]

32. They are going to try to make him a victim because of the (well-deserved) community hate.

They will also try to get the NRA behind him.

He is contemptible. I hope he dies slowly, in pain. Very slowly.

[MineralMan]

35. The Guy's an all-around jerk.

My hope is that this notoriety destroys his practice completely. Looks like that's coming true, from what the local media here is saying. Good riddance!

[Triana]

36. Seriously. Good riddance to bad rubbish. n/t

[Rex]

37. Hmmm...that huge asshole reminds me of another huge asshole...

[lonestarnot]

42. Not unlike shoot'emintheface, but please don't post a fucking pic.

[Rex]

43. Ugh. That can only be Darth Cheney you are describing.

Only person I've ever heard of that shot a lawyer in the face and got an apology FROM the lawyer! I mean, who does that!?

[lonestarnot]

44. That would be it.

[Initech]

38. Once an asshole, always an asshole.

[Lodestar]

40. Little Georgie Bush used to blow up frogs for fun.

As an adult he and his wealthy, political, sociopathic kin
reinstated torture, Abu Graib, water boarding and the use of
flesh-melting white phosphorous chemical weapons against the population of Fallujah.

We've had so many red flags and have allowed them to somehow become the new normal....
acceptable. Cecil is just the latest victim.
