79. there's no sign of him kicking anyone in the video

Fri Apr 10, 2015, 01:15 PM

Apr 2015

and the horse is very quiet and well behaved. Most likely, the cop just got in too close at the wrong moment.

Just like some news reports claiming the thief "was thrown from the horse" when it is very clear in the video that the horse didn't buck, rear, bolt or do anything while the horse thief tried to jerk him around, lost his balance and fell off.

And as I've written elsewhere, I'm not interested in sanctimonious, holier-than-thou lectures from anyone telling me how I'm supposed to feel about animal abusers.

Abusive bullies eventually meet up with bigger, badder bullies. That's a fact and when it happens, I don't feel any sympathy for any of the bullies.

That doesn't mean I condone or support the police actions.

I just don't give a flying fuck for the poor widdle horse thief. I'm only sorry the horse didn't give him a good kick in the teeth or even better, give him a seriously wild ride.
