A nice woman just posted this sign on the door of Cecil The Lion's killer - WalterPalmer.

[CTyankee]

1. The man MUST be PUBLICLY shamed!

I hope he has to go out of business as a dentist and declare bankruptcy.

[tkmorris]

13. I know you are being sarcastic

But I am actually OK with the scenario you describe.

[CTyankee]

18. I'm serious, tho. I think public shaming is pretty powerful.

There's no point in advocating violence against him or even fantasies about it. This is outside the lines of what is decent IMO...

[SusanaMontana41]

147. He's ruined. And he deserves it. I love threads like this. Thanks, CTyankee! n/t

[CTyankee]

151. I hope people around his town stop and point when they see him.

I hope some people say to him "Aren't you that guy that killed that lion?" And I hope they say it loud enough for people around them to hear it. I hope people come up to him and tell him he's contemptible scum.

[SusanaMontana41]

158. His face is well-known worldwide. He has nowhere to go.

While we're at it, let's expose all trophy hunters. Sick fucks.

[tblue37]

76. So am I, because if he has less money, he won't be able to afford his exotic killing adventures. nt

[wingman56]

142. This guy must have been charging double or triple to fund his killing adventures. This is the End

The Doors song

Lets hope he is done!

[Roland99]

20. I wonder how many in his office knew where he was going and what he was going to do

[darbus]

30. Or his patients

I would not go to a dentist or any other professional for any service if I knew they engaged in this.

[Chili Pepper]

80. I would suspect ...

... some of his patients feel the same way.

One of the first things I thought of when I heard this story was how many of his patients were unaware of his "hobby" and now that it's out in the open, how many will choose another dentist.

[Arugula Latte]

93. There is a DUer who recognized him from his photo.

Her child was referred to him, had one appt. and has a follow0up scheduled. She's going to cancel and tell them why.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

115. His brochure for the practice touts his love of nature and photography travels.

That is an ass covering lie by a dick-stroking murderer.

He knew he better whitewash himself in the interest of profit.

[hamsterjill]

64. Bankruptcy indeed!

I think that's the only, real way to put a stop to this for this idiot. If he doesn't have the money to go on these trips, he cannot kill. I doubt he would understand any other punishment, although I would be OPEN to suggestions!!!

This is one instance where the power of social media can be felt.

[awoke_in_2003]

81. Let the market speak...

The blow back will be huge, and soon this Romney supporter will be crying about the "silent hand of the free market". At least I hope so

[glinda]

87. Without funds for big hunts (great!) he might feel compelled to shoot dogs, squirrels and people now.

[AngryDem001]

124. We already know he's a threat to women.

[SusanaMontana41]

159. Great point. I'm guessing he has tortured animals.

Sick.

[Peregrine Took]

126. Absolutely. Its a must - to make him suffer the way he did Cecil

It would be absurd not for him to have payback. 40 hours

[shenmue]

2. Oh, man

The little stuffies.

[kwolf68]

3. Nice, but he won't get it

People outraged over him jetsetting first class from one canned hunt to another are going to be seen as out of touch animal rights radicals. He will convince himself he is 100% in the right and not a single argument against his barbarism will be considered. Narcissists have NO capability of seeing anything from any other perspective than the one that allows them to rest easy at night and they can justify ANY nefarious act.

This guy is a lost cause. The only hope is he suffers financially by people leaving his practice.

[jberryhill]

6. Correct

He's not going to let a few crazy animal huggers ruin his day.

[dhill926]

8. exactly right...

[Warpy]

21. He was convicted of poaching here

Trust me, he didn't care how they lured a lion close enough to shoot as long as he got its head for one of his walls.

It was a dirty kill, Cecil suffered for 40 hours before they chased him down and finished him off. That man has a lot to be deeply ashamed of.

He's a Republican, so he is incapable of any shame. We'll have to hope that losing his practice makes him poor enough that canned hunts of endangered animals are a thing of the past.

Trophy hunting was vile in Teddy Roosevelt's day and it's gotten even worse. At least Roosevelt was hunting and exposing himself to danger. Now they bait semi tame animals into convenient spots to be shot by these goons.

(Do note that I am not anti hunter, people around here eat what they kill unless they're from out of state and only want a head or a skin)

[66 dmhlt]

33. Yep. Maxxed out on his Romney donations ...

http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml

[dixiegrrrrl]

66. AND he settled a sexual assault case against one of his employees..

Made a copy of the pic....

[cwydro]

82. I hope his name gets on whatever lists

there are to keep him out of these countries.

[Miles Archer]

32. It was announced this morning that he was NOT charged in Zimbabwe

So I agree 100%...he won't get it. He may have to relocate his practice, but other than that, he won't get it.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/cecil-the-lion-two-men-due-in-zimbabwe-court-over-illegal-hunt-but-walter-palmer-not-charged-10423795.html

Cecil the lion: Two men due in Zimbabwe court over 'illegal' hunt but Walter Palmer not charged

Two men are due to appear in court in Zimbabwe over the killing of Cecil the lion, while the American dentist who paid to shoot him with a bow and arrow continues to deny any wrongdoing.

Walter Palmer, from Minneapolis, is believed to have returned to the US after the hunt earlier this month where he allegedly paid about $50,000 (£32,000) to kill the famous lion.

A local charity claims Cecil took 40 hours to die after being shot by an arrow and was skinned and beheaded, with the head taken as a trophy for Dr Palmer.

[tblue37]

78. Even if he relocates, he should be exposed again. nt

[tblue]

144. Amen! His life is now permanently changed.

And it's no one's fault but his own. May he rot.

Hi cuz! Glad you're still around!

[tblue37]

154. Hi yourself, cuz! nt

[roguevalley]

133. zimbabwe is covering their tourist hunting business by letting him off

we owe it to decency to not let him here. fuck. I wish I hadn't heard the details.

Get this. If he had any young cubs they are all dead now. When a new pride leader asserts himself he will kill all of cecil's offspring that are not adult. He will them mate with the pride and produce his own. That is what is going to happen if Cecil's babies aren't grown enough to be left out of this instinct. Fuck hunters. Isn't climate change killing animals fast enough?

Sue me for that sentiment. That is what I truly feel.

[Miles Archer]

139. Yes, I'd heard the thing about the cubs earlier today...

...this guy is just a sick bastard, period. The sheer cruelty behind his whole "plot" is disgusting. And if you do only a little digging into his past you will see that he ran into trouble for lying to a Federal agent about killing a bear, AND he paid off a former employee / patient to settle a sexual harassment claim out of court.

He's basically the George Zimmerman of licensed dentists.

[City Lights]

45. "The only hope is he suffers financially by people leaving his practice."

Yup. The only way this asshole suffers is financially. I hope his patients leave his practice in droves and he goes broke.

[AngryDem001]

125. "I'm RICH!! I DESERVE to murder defenseless animals!!"

[tblue]

145. Have you seen his Yelp page? Or Jimmy Kimmel?

He's almost universally reviled.

For once I'm enjoying seeing someone get what's coming to him. I'm usually a bleeding heart. Not this time. Not for Dr. Devil, DDS.

[SusanaMontana41]

148. Saw both. Did you see the pun about "No lion, we're great blah blah blah"? Hysterical. eom

[jwirr]

4. He shot the Cecil to display as one of his many kills. Does he still have the head etc.? He should

be forced to pay for sending the remains back to Africa and have it buried with the rest of the victim. He should not be rewarded for this.

[Myrina]

7. I read that it and the skin were seized in Zimbabwe as evidence of his poaching.

I hope they send him back to Zimbabwe and leave him on the plains, in a loincloth, barefoot, with no weapons.
We'll see how much he enjoys hunting when he's on the receiving end.

[truth2power]

10. +1000

[rurallib]

19. love your scenario

[Warpy]

38. Yeah, I really think a few years in a Zimbabwe jail might pop his bubble

especially since he'll be a lot poorer when he gets out.

[thecrow]

127. Yeah, let him be Naked and Afraid

.....but without the camera crew.

[Helen Borg]

5. The poor thing suffered for 40 hours!

As he was being hunted down while wounded.

[jwirr]

9. Yes, a bow and arrow is not a good hunting weapon for an animal this size. And as a hunter he

knew it.

If I were one of his dental patients I would be afraid that he gets his jollies for causing pain. Looks like it to me.

[SwankyXomb]

15. Someopne who saw this and took it as career advice.

[jwirr]

16. LOL

[2naSalit]

136. Wow!

I can picture the lion murderer getting his jollies exactly in that way, without the music of course.

Steve Martin, never knew he did this movie! That part is cool.

[SusanaMontana41]

150. That's damn funny! Thanks for the levity. We needed that. n/t

[freshwest]

103. And Cecil was known to be people friendly. Never knew what was coming from this depraved man. What

went through his mind, for he had one to be sure, other than the pain as he suffered in agony?

This dentist also had to pay a settlement for sexual harrassment and was very big on entertaining with blood SPORT, not what he needed to eat.

I remember a scene from a movie, may be all fictional, but when some amerindians took down a deer, they begged his pardon as they did so.

This man is a poster for what will destroy all of us and led me to the conclusion - even though I was close - that the human race is not worthy to live on his planet anymore. As some amerindians and others have said - they will kill everything alive, until they kill themselves as well.

There is still time to reverse this course, but I don't see it happening. I see what Trump did in Scotland. I've seen what clear cutting does. I know what the mining companies are doing around the world. And what devastation to people, animals and all vegetation is done while forsest are destroyed in a wasteful matter to mine one product, like palm oil or copper or coal.

As the Pope said, greed is now destroying the ability of the planet to sustain life. The tribes know this. They have warned us. But people did not listen.

A reading of the writings of Derrick Jensen is chilling. or those of Jared Diamond even if disputed. And still we have the same mentality in Congress, with a Senator tossing a snowball. And before that another one apologizing to BP for the Gulf oil explosion, having unleashed the pressure that held down the oil into an almost volcanic eruption.

I felt at that time, Mother Earth said, 'You want the oil that bad? Here it is. All of it. Drink this cup you sought to have. It will kill you all, but I grant your wish.'

I saw about rescuers who had gone out into the Gulf to save some of the wildlife. Men who had plied those waters for decades. Some of them, after coming back and seeing the animals dying, came back and committed suicide.

Mankind is committing suicide.

[SusanaMontana41]

146. That's it, freshwest.

Who else cries about this? I mean tears that mark your face?

An excellent post, freshest. Thank you.

[Omaha Steve]

11. Should have stapled it to his forehead

Did I type that out loud?

[Rhythm]

24. I didn' see nothin'...

[niyad]

36. not his foreHEAD, lower.

[Omaha Steve]

49. Judging by his actions

It would be a small staple.

[niyad]

52. you nearly owed me a keyboard!

[Nay]

117. LOLOL!!!!!

[hifiguy]

129. Nailed there, like Python's Norwegian Blue to its perch.

[closeupready]

12. Good. He deserves every ounce of vitriol he's getting.

[colsohlibgal]

14. The Guy is Disgusting

What's wrong with people like that? Why?

Just reprehensible and I too hope his life is ruined and he gets a long time to ponder what he's done and what compelled him to do it.

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. So....what happens to him after that?

First, I want to make it clear that I find what he did reprehensible. I am not a hunter, but I don't hold that against hunters, but who the hell eats Lion meat?


Anyway....

What happens to this dentist after he is financially ruined, as a number of DU'ers including yourself have called for?

Should he be homeless? Jailed? For how long? 10 years? 20? Life?

Let's say he does jail time. The maximum penalty for killing the national symbol of this country - the Bald Eagle - is $250,000 for a felony conviction and 2 years in jail.

I just sincerely want to know what it is you think will happen to him after all of the worse happens? Should he be a food stamp recipient? Welfare? Should he be forced to live in Section 8 housing?

I know emotions run high on things like this, but what happens to the guy later on?

If your answer is "I don't give a shit"...well....

[homegirl]

23. Extradited

to Zimbabwe to face trial and punishment where he killed the lion, a few years in a local prison would be suitable. Twenty years for the organizers of these "hunts."

[A HERETIC I AM]

25. That's not an answer to the question I asked. n/t

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

34. Sure it is. You asked what should happen to him.

The reply was that he should go face the criminal system in the place where he committed the crime.

[A HERETIC I AM]

37. After.

Then what?

What happens to him after?

What happens to this dentist after he is financially ruined, as a number of DU'ers including yourself have called for?

I understand he should be punished, in whatever way that comes about, but I'm just curious how far DU'ers are willing to go, that's all.

This place is endlessly fascinating for me.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

42. Then he gets to live like most everyone else?

Are you suggesting that people on this site should decide the rest of his life for him? Why? Hell, I don't even know what the rest of my own life will be like.

[A HERETIC I AM]

54. No, I am not suggesting anything of the sort.

I am asking a person who suggested he should be ruined financially what should happen to him after that ruination?

If you have an opinion to one stage of this retribution, are you not able to consider further?


Here's the funny thing about DU;

There have been scores, hundreds, even, of threads over the years decrying the situation for poor people in this country as well as the homeless. What should we do about them, how we can solve their plight.

So this douchenozzle kills a Lion and a whole lot of Du'ers want to add him to the ranks of a group so very often shown pity for!

Somewhere along the line here there is some sort of disconnect, that's all.

Here's what I think should happen to him;

Pay a hefty fine - high 6 figures at least that will pretty much empty his retirement account (or whatever). That way he'll have to start over, so to speak and he won't have the money to go back to Africa any time soon. The entirety of the fine should go to the preserve where Cecil lived and be earmarked for the preservation of the rest of the Lions that still live there. Appropriate jail time, whatever that is, to be determined in a court of law.

Then, after he has paid his due to society and made the appropriate amends. LEAVE HIM THE FUCK ALONE.

His practice is likely ruined. He probably won't be able to keep his office open. Which also means the rest of the staff he employs will lose their jobs.

I don't feel sorry for him. What I find interesting is the membership of this board and their reaction to stories like this.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

60. If he winds up in the bottom 10% or whatever, I'm not going to shed many tears.

He had a hell of a lot more chances than most people to be a better person, and simply threw them away.

Maybe if he's in poverty, he'll quit being a conservative ass, and start agitating for useful things like a higher minimum wage, since it would actually help him at that point.

[homegirl]

51. Two scenarios

1. After serving prison time in Zimbabwe let us assume he is without financial resources, the government of Zimbabwe offers him a post as a dentist, he will receive a minimum salary, food and lodging while he provides dental services to the poor people of Zimbabwe.

2. His family shakes the can and raise enough to pay for his passage back to the states, from there he is on his own.

[A HERETIC I AM]

62. NOW you're talking!

See? That's what I was looking for.

And frankly, that is a great idea.

He needs to (or should be forced to) use his dentistry skills in a way that helps others for no charge.

I like it.

Thanks

[kpete]

29. nothing will happen to him - except for perhaps, temporary discomfort/embarrassment

meanwhile:

The lion is dead.


I feel no remorse for calling this evil man out,
as I would any animal killer who does not eat the meat he kills.


peace,
kp

[A HERETIC I AM]

31. I get all that.....honestly.

There is no affection from me to this dirtbag.

But there have been numerous people on DU that have basically called for his ruination and I just want to know....what then?

That's all.

[niyad]

39. with any luck, he would turn a weapon on himself and stop wasting oxygen.

or, he could go on another hunt and meet the same fate as that murdering thug from the dallas safari club.

[A HERETIC I AM]

44. Nice edit. Can you enlighten me as to the Dallas person? n/t

[niyad]

47. you probably remember this story from a few weeks back:

Elephant kills professional big game hunter in Zimbabwe
Professional hunter tracking a lion for American client crushed to death by young bull elephant in Zambezi Valley


Ian Gibson's trackers said the young bull had been in a musth period, which means it was producing much more testosterone than usual Photo: Alamy

By Peta Thornycroft, Johannesburg

6:28PM BST 17 Apr 2015

A young bull elephant killed professional hunter Ian Gibson early on Wednesday as he tracked a lion for an American client in a rugged part of north-east Zimbabwe.

Mr Gibson, 55, one of Zimbabwe's best known big game hunters, died scouting for prey in the Zambezi Valley after a young bull elephant charged, then knelt on him and crushed him to death.

"We don't yet know the full details of how 'Gibbo' as we called him, died, as the American client and the trackers are still too traumatised to give us full details," said Paul Smith, managing director of Chifuti Safaris' which employed Mr Gibson for the hunt.

. . . .

[A HERETIC I AM]

57. Oh yes! That guy! LOL...OK, thanks.

Yeah....I had no problem in the least with that outcome!

[kwolf68]

134. Nor did I

Animals are still WAY behind on the scoreboard.

[roody]

40. He deserves to be a beggar on the street.

[A HERETIC I AM]

43. So...in a few years.....

When he is the subject of some viral video showing him doing dental work for nothing to other beggars on the street, he will be lauded by DU, .....


Got it.


Know why I say that?

Because that's how this place rolls.

[AleksS]

77. And what would be wrong with that?

And what would be wrong with that?

Headline: Jerk is financially ruined, then changes his ways to start making the world a better place!

Of course he SHOULD be lauded if that were the case.

Yes, he should be ruined for his asshole-ery. After that though, he has the same opportunities everyone else in that shitty boat has--more, if you count his 1%-er contacts, professional credentialling, etc.--to become a productive part of society. What he does after he is ruined is up to him, not us.

He could do something awesome--perhaps providing free dental work to homeless people. That would be great.
He could go back to asshole-ery--start a new dental practice somewhere obscure and make enough money to go back on Safari.

Who knows? That's not up to DU, last time I checked. What should happen after his ruination? That's up to him. Just like it's up to every other person ruined by the consequences of shitty things they've done or shitty things that have happened to them. How many drug war casualties have been ruined? They're in (likely) a worse boat after their ruination than this dentist would be. So let's leave him in the same boat as them.

[closeupready]

46. "what then?" Who cares. Not our problem.

[bullsnarfle]

61. That'll probably do it.

After all, what is more important to a right-wing dirtbag than the almighty dollar? Take away his money and he is less than zero.

Not that he isn't already less than zero to anyone with a grain of humanity. But that would truly "bring it home". The thought of him sleeping in a gutter for the rest of his miserable life works for me.

[dorkzilla]

35. I’m not trying to be provocative here, but I really DON’T give a shit

He didn’t care about Cecil or the endangered Rhino or cheetah, or any other living, breathing creature he killed in cold blood for fun. Not to eat - for fun.

I don’t give one fucking fig what happens to him. Does that make me a bad person? Because I don’t give a shit? I don’t think so. I hope he looses everything.

I absolutely hope he ends up destitute, forced to live in a cave and gets eaten by a bear.

Fuck him.

[A HERETIC I AM]

41. Fair enough. n/t

[dorkzilla]

48. There is also this...

We (Americans) FUCKING SUCK. SOMEONE has to shame these people, make them suffer the worst possible consequences so that they stop traveling to foreign countries to kill their endangered animals. Do you know how much tourist revenue this piece of shit cost the people of that country? So we should have compassion? Fuck that. He’s a MURDERER.

Read this please.

http://www.latimes.com/world/africa/la-fg-lion-killing-20150728-story.html

Rant over (this wasn’t aimed at you, but this guy doesn’t need any empathy at all).

[niyad]

58. from the linked article:

This has not quieted his critics, who took to social media with attacks, including condemnation of his dental practice on Twitter, Facebook and Yelp.

An online petition asking the American Dental Assn. to suspend Palmer had more than 1,400 signatures by Tuesday afternoon, and a petition demanding justice for Cecil had more than 166,000 signatures by late Tuesday.

Palmer’s hunting practices have come under scrutiny in the past. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to one count of making material false statements in relation to a poaching case in Wisconsin. He was sentenced to one year probation, a $2,938 fine and was forced to forfeit the black bear remains to the government.

[A HERETIC I AM]

59. Did you see this thread I put up the other day?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027020177

313 views, 10 recs, 2 replys.

Now, maybe that's because it is a 2 year old story and folks here had seen it before.

Or maybe, DU is a wee bit fickle at times.


And FWIW, I could not agree more with the points made in that article

[dorkzilla]

69. I didn’t. I’ve been having some huge health issues so I’m just popping in and out

I see we agree that the man (and other trophy hunters) are bad people, but with the rapidly disappearing number of African lions and elephants I don’t think we (meaning the world) can spare them any feelings. If these people have no money left to pay for their disgusting “hobby” then we’ve made a positive impact for the sake of these beautiful creatures who DO deserve our compassion.

The douchenozzle has already been found guilty of lying about shooting some other innocent and been fined a piddly little amount of money. Did he learn a lesson? Is he remorseful? No. So he needs to lose everything.

[A HERETIC I AM]

73. OK.

He is one hell of a monstrous dickweed, that's for sure.

Found on a post from another thread;

Warning...another "trophy" pic of him with a White Rhino

http://trophyhuntamerica.smugmug.com/Other/SAFARI-CONNECTION-Africa/4034720_LkPBFc/234882651_7DR52sJ#!i=234882651&k=7DR52sJ

[dorkzilla]

74. I saw that - and the picture of him shirtless (!) with a dead endangered cheetah.

How very Putin of him.

So I’m okay with him living under a bridge. And I’m also totally okay with him being afraid for his safety...sauce for the goose and all that.

[WinkyDink]

84. I'm with you!

[Still In Wisconsin]

99. I'll go one step further: I hope that whatever happens to him is AWFUL.

I hope Palmer suffers. I hope he suffers greatly for years and years and years.

[hifiguy]

130. I hope he gets an appropriate karmic comeuppance.

Don't much care what it is, but karma is generally a very demanding mistress.

[tularetom]

50. What should happen to him?

I don't know, I'm not God.

What will happen to him? Probably nothing. In fact some misguided souls will probably set up a go fund me for him and he'll wind up a millionaire from the money it takes in.

What do I hope happens to him? That he has to spend his remaining years constantly looking over his shoulder.

[Kelvin Mace]

65. Well, that depends

Do we subject him to liberal or conservative justice.

If I were to subject him to my brand of "liberal" justice he would be extradited to Zimbabwe if they charged him. If they didn't then he would be heavily fined, have his hunting license permanently revoked, and be sentenced to 1000 hours community service at a local zoo cleaning out the cages.

If I were to subject him to "conservative" justice, I would treat him like Oklahoma treated a paraplegic caught with 2 ounces of marijuana in his wheel chair and sentence him to life in prison.

[Logical]

90. Lol, call him up and comfort him! Nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

95. Do you honestly think that it is my opinion he needs comforting?

Really?

Simply because I asked a question, you want to insinuate that I think the guy needs to be comforted. Is that it?

What the ever living fuck is it with some DU'ers that if a person isn't far enough on the bandwagon to satisfy them, he is assumed to be completely off it?

[LanternWaste]

92. Which may be a heads-up to the rational thinker that the visceral reactions we read are simply that

"I know emotions run high on things like this..."

Which may be a heads-up to the rational thinker that the visceral reactions we read are simply that-- visceral reactions lacking any real consequence and hence, no need for detailed objective analysis.

Unless you think these things will indeed and in fact come to pass. Well... part two.

[Helen Borg]

105. You can say for ANY crime...

[snort]

22. I'm so hoping that somebody leaves

some old dentures in that pile as well.

I want this guy to go out of business so that he cannot afford to go to Africa to kill animals.

[sadoldgirl]

26. The problem is that he is not the only

one, as far as I know he blonds to a club of similar
"hunters", who consider this a fair sport.

All of those should be shamed as well by making
their names and victims public knowledge.

[glinda]

88. The Clubs need to shamed and shuttered.

[rocktivity]

27. I still don't understand who he paid the $50K to

and why it never occurred to him that it MIGHT not be legal.


rocktivity

[tenderfoot]

28. He's also conservative.

Cowardice and conservative go hand in hand.

[santafe52]

53. Repub hero?

Watch the Republicans make this guy a hero.

[Helen Borg]

70. He stood his ground... :(

[dorkzilla]

55. Name and shame...

Apparently, Americans are the fuckwads doing most of the killing.

“Americans are among the most bloodthirsty among citizens of the world when it comes to trophy hunting, in particular lions and elephants,“ said Jeff Flocken, North American regional director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “It’s a small group of privileged Americans. Eighty percent or more of Americans want to see endangered species protected."

71. Some of the people against him are just as bad.

It's easy to call someone a coward if you write it on a piece of paper and tape it to a door. If you call someone a coward, you should be prepared to back it up.

Would any of these people have the guts to stand up to this man if he were there in front of him/her? Would they call him a coward, or do they prefer blending in with the rest of the pitchfork mob?

[WinkyDink]

85. Your definition of "just as bad" is, frankly, INCREDIBLY BIZARRE.

[dorkzilla]

86. Hear, hear WinkyDink

Bizarre and oddly sophomoric.

[Oneironaut]

106. If you think it's "bizarre and sophomoric," you did not read my post. Maybe you misunderstood?

Two wrongs do not make a right. Like I said to the replying poster, get this guy into a courtroom. Nothing else is needed.

[dorkzilla]

119. indeed i did. its nonsense. nt

[Oneironaut]

137. And yet you haven't stated why. I'm not sure what the point of this is, then.

Oh well.

[Oneironaut]

104. I don't support cyber mobs enacting justice.

Get this guy to a courtroom. "Trial by mob" is not justice.

[BuelahWitch]

91. Maybe she'd kick him in the nuts

The coward is in hiding, so no one can confront him to his face. Maybe you forgot that fact.

[Oneironaut]

109. I did not. If you want justice, the state needs to take action.

I would trust our legal system over "internet justice."

[Hell Hath No Fury]

94. I would happily stand right in front of the monster --

and call him a coward and murderer right to his face. Not a problem for me AT ALL. I hope I have the opportunity here on CA to do so in the future.

[rhett o rick]

98. Calling someone a coward is no where near as bad as killing an animal for thrills.

Arguing whether or not he is a coward is irrelevant. What he did was reprehensible. While it looks cool to say you killed a big lion, what really happens is the lions are used to people and don't run away. So you can drive fairly close and shoot them as they lay in the sun. Almost as bad as killing animals from helicopters.

[Oneironaut]

110. I found leaving a note calling someone a coward very ironic.

I do agree with your post, though, that the act was reprehensible. Trophy hunters are the bane of my existence.

[geek tragedy]

100. When they torture him for 40 hours before murdering him, then they are "just as bad."

Until then, your post sucks horribly.

[Oneironaut]

111. Or, we can try to get justice through the state rather than creating a cyber mob.

I would rather see this guy in a courtroom than seeing stories like this.

[geek tragedy]

114. then he should ship himself to Zimbabwe. Until then, he can expect more of this nt

[WorseBeforeBetter]

156. The cowardly Dr. Lion Killer is in hiding.

Why doesn't he turn himself in and "get justice through the state"?

His hiding is fanning the flames. Step up, be a man.

[SoCalMusicLover]

108. If The Shoe Fits

Your post misses the point completely. He was NOT there at his office. He has not shown his face since the story broke, and you know why? Because he is a Coward!

There is no way he was going to be there in the window showing his face. That would take real guts and balls. So your point is moot.

[Oneironaut]

112. Isn't the whole concept moot, then?

Why leave a note on an empty building? Passive-aggressive anger? What does this hope to accomplish?

[SoCalMusicLover]

118. Because This Is America

And there was nothing threatening in the note left. Someone was just speaking their mind, and with the worldwide attention this is getting, that note should be the least of his worries.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

155. I don't shrink from confrontation...

so yeah, no issue with "guts," here. Dr. Lion Killer would get an earful, and it wouldn't be pretty.

That liberals are wimps is a right-wing myth, if that's what you were angling for...

[Jim Beard]

72. The Minneapolis newspaper is defending this guy tooth and nail.

Look at all the damn articles........

Look in the most read section. I read somewhere where he hired tha PR firm connected to the newspaper?

[Gothmog]

75. This is only the beginning for this idiot dentist

[catbyte]

79. The most horrific thing about this is that all 12 of Cecil's cubs will be killed by the male

lion who will take over the pride in order to make the 6 females go into heat. There's not a damned thing anybody can do for them. That piece of shit just murdered Cecil's entire bloodline. I hope he suffers financial ruin, because that's all sociopaths like this monster ever understand.

[glinda]

89. Why can't some be rescued?????

[geek tragedy]

101. and what would be done with them?

the point is that they're lost to the wild, to that reserve.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

157. It's all horrific.

Cecil baited, shot and wounded, in pain and stalked for 40 hours, shot and killed, skinned and beheaded. And the poor cubs. And Jericho.

[WinkyDink]

83. Alas, there are more than a few photos of this nutcase with large dead mammals.

[jencatt]

96. I did it. :-)

I made the sign. My house is about 8 miles from this guy's office, so the sign needed to happen. In my mind, I would've liked to dump red pain all over the whole office, but...that isn't legal.

[A HERETIC I AM]

97. While there is no way to know for sure you are telling the truth....

if you did indeed do it, WELL DONE!!


And welcome to Democratic Underground!

[jberryhill]

102. Good job, and welcome to DU

[catbyte]

113. Well done, and welcome to DU.

[steve2470]

121. Welcome to DU and...

congrats if you are, indeed, the one who did it!

[irisblue]

123. What a nice way to start your DU life Welcome!

[niyad]

138. welcome to du, and good for you!!

[AtomicKitten]

143. Welcome and thank you.

[City Lights]

153. Nicely done!

Welcome to DU!

[restorefreedom]

107. on man that stuffed lion in front.....

not gonna cry. not gonna cry

this pos deserves to spend the rest of his pathetic life panhandling in disguise and cowering in fear. But if he gets sent to prison in Zimbabwe, I'm OK with that too.

[Still In Wisconsin]

120. I have not been able to stop crying.

What a majestic, beautiful animal he was.

[SusanaMontana41]

149. Me too, Still in Wisconsin. Every time I see a photo of Cecil and pics of his other murders. eom

[Dont call me Shirley]

116. Walter is a psychopathic killer.

[PatrynXX]

122. Oddly some pro hunters I generally expect would stand up for him

aren't. akin to very foul paperwork and any proper hunter would aim to kill. not let it stay there for 40 hours then shoot it. X_X Just makes good hunters look bad. no not comparing this to anything

[hifiguy]

128. This klown will be atop shit lists until the day he dies.

How appropriate.

[napkinz]

131. K&R

[Miigwech]

132. Karma

This turd never learned his lesson .... and now he is paying for it. "What goes around comes around"

[samsingh]

135. kick

[dflprincess]

140. I do not live far from his office and swung past on my home from work tonight

There was still a lot of foot and vehicle traffic in the area. The local media was out in force and there were trucks from NBC and CNN there.

The sign in this picture was gone but several others had taken its place - none of them complimentary. Sorry, I can't figure out how to get the pictures I took to post here.

[sorcrow]

141. DWTS!

The dude will end up on "Dancing with the Stars" or some other BS reality show. I imagine Ted Nugent is creaming his none-too-clean jeans for this dentist to appear with him on the television machine. Sad.




Regards,
Crow

[turbinetree]

152. He is a ................................

POACHER and should be remember as a POACHER.
He did this at night just like all POACHERS
And in this country if you are a POACHER you go to jail, lose your guns, home, and get a fine

Now its his turn to feel the wrath of is act of POACHING-----------bankruptcy
And what is really despicable by his ego of his act of POACHING---------- his employees are feeling the wrath------------he never saw that in his ego-----------never-------------just him and his pictures of ego and the death he caused

[TexasBushwhacker]

160. If you check out his reviews on Google

you'll find plenty of venom about the murder of Cecil, but you'll also find he's a shitty dentist! All sorts of complaints.
