    I think his patients should be aware. Not harassed.

    You are either trying to shit on a thread or defending the hunter.

    You can say that you are not, but everyone is telling you are. And, you are.

    The second someone calls you on your shit you backpedal faster than Roethlisberger versus the Colts. It's old and boring to everyone other than 3-5 posters.

    There are a lot of great dentists in the world. Not all of them pay $50,000 just to kill The Lion King.

    Pleaded guilty to a felony and paid a $3,000 fine for illegally hunting a black bear in Wisconsin in 2006.

    Cecil the Lion Killer Walter James Palmer Has Bear-Related Felony Record - NBC News

    Probably just a clerical error.

    Palmer had a permit to hunt bears within a certain area near Phillips, in the north of the state. But on September 1, 2006, he was part of a group of people who killed a black bear 40 miles outside this permitted zone, according to the court documents from April 2008.

    Realizing what they had done, the group agreed that "if any authorities were to ask where the bear had been killed, they would say" it was hunted within the correct area, the documents added.

    They transported the carcass to a registration station where they certified the animal had been killed legally, the documents said, adding that the body was later taken to Minnesota, where Palmer lives.

    LOL. Where have I backpedaled?

    Besides, have you even offered an opinion on this other than to express how "interesting" it is that he did this in a social media age, where it can go viral?

    Oh yeah, you also expressed your shock that being a dentist can be a lucrative job.

    It's a decent story. It deserves attention, mainly because his guides appear to have broken the law. But, the faux outrage, and desire to publicly shame him are silly. We saw the same thing a year ago with the cheerleader from Texas. This is just the latest episode. Sorry if it doesn't get me all worked up.

    I am surprised he could keep his license to practice dentistry with a felony record.

    In what way is this a reply to anything I posted?

    No issue with that.

    What you don't get is, they WOULD be terrible people if they continue to use a dentist who is a terrible person.

    There's more than one dentist in Minnesota. Ask for your dental records and move on.

    OK. Cool.

    And, Baron is a terrible person because he is still a fan of the WWE, and Rhody is a terrible person because he still routes for the New England Patriots.

    Who else is on the list?

    Oh, wait, put me on the list. I listen to Rush Limbaugh when he's on and I'm in the car. Where can I go for forgiveness?

    Then what is the fucking point of your Hemingway posts?

    That outrage is conditional.

    Easy to hate on this guy, but my favorite author. I still love that guy. He was awesome.
