    I don't think he deserves to die for this.

    I'm reacting against smugness. Against the smug Internet moralists who decided to spend the last 24 hours ruthlessly shaming a private citizen.

    I honestly have about the same amount of regard for him as he had for these animals he killed (some illegally) and the woman he sexually harassed and had to have his insurance pay out over $120,000 to. This guy clearly doesn't believe anyone matters except him so I'm not gonna' lose much sleep over what the consequences may be for him from the public. Wanna' be a dick? Fine. Just don't be shocked when people don't take kindly to it.

    When they came for the lions I said nothing, for I was not a lion.

    Spare me. The media's never had an issue with blasting away half-cocked. Richard Jewell anyone?

    Look, the guy is a lying asshole. Go back over my posts on this thread and see what I've posted.

    I am not defending him, so don't try to paint me in that light.

    I am just saying wishing death on someone is a place I can't go.

    I actually agree with you. I don't think he deserves to die for this.

    But, then, of course, neither did Cecil.

    Do you think I believe he deserved to die?

    HARARE, Zimbabwe — Two Zimbabweans arrested for illegally hunting a lion appeared in court Wednesday. The head of Zimbabwe's safari association said the killing was unethical and that it couldn't even be classified as a hunt, since the lion killed by an American dentist was lured into the kill zone.

    Wasn't it the New York Times that used the "no angel" line?
