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

[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.
