To be fair the Buffalo did a bloody good job. Gored tne hunter chick so bad that they had to send in a surgical team and medivac her by helicopter a few hundred KMs and she was i n a wheelchair for 6 months. iost a lot of blood. It was in a herd and she was protecting her baby from being killed and in the wild. If any culling is required it is the dumb bitch who decided to deprive a mother of her child for no other purpose than to prove you pull a trigger.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

The front that is coming to Vic produced bizarrely warm winds before it got here and wreaked havoc here in south west WA. 130km wind gusts, trees down roofs leaking, mould, etcswoop42 wrote:7:00pm 12.3C

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/09/us/m ... index.htmlTears glistened on the black and purple bruises covering 91-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez's face as he described being attacked by a group of people while going for a walk on the Fourth of July.
"I can't walk anymore," Rodriguez said in Spanish. "I'm in so much pain."
He'll be turning 92 in September, Rodriguez said, and he's never been hurt like this before, in a life working the fields with cattle and corn.
He had traveled from Michoacan, Mexico, to visit his family in Willowbrook, California, a city in Los Angeles County, his grandson Erik Mendoza said.
He makes the trip about twice a year, and takes a walk through the neighborhood every day after lunch, Mendoza said. "Everyone in the neighborhood knows him already," he said.
Rodriguez said he was walking to a nearby park on Wednesday when he passed a woman and a little girl. Without warning, the woman assaulted him, he said, hitting him with a concrete block and enlisting a group of men to join in beating him.
I don't like the overused 'ist' words, but this racist bitch is a piece of work.
What does my head in though, is that authorities seem more concerned that the woman had a 4 yr old kid with her and the kid would have witnessed it, rather than being concerned over the actual assault. Really?
"Listen mam, you beat an innocent man to a pulp and let your child watch it, so we're arresting you for inappropriately exposing a child to violence. Next time you feel the desire to beat up on an old Spic, make sure your kid can't see OK, otherwise we may have to take her off you"
Is that where things are at?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
As I have said elsewhere, it is fine to have a public debate about immigration and border control. This, though, is the sort of thing that follows from reducing everything to elemental propositions and turning them into slogans. It is the logical consequence of the sorts of statements Trump has been making about Mexicans. Surely it is possible to have the debate without creating an environment in which a bunch of people could think it was OK to hit a 92 year old man with concrete? Yet, if the leader of your country tells everyone that the US only gets the bad Mexicans, this man is - as an inevitable consequence - going to be labelled, by some people who accept what their leader says, as a "bad Mexican". The rabidright apologists on here tried to explain away Trump's utterances as not really being racist. They are - and this is just an example of why. It's a very short step from "We've got to build a wall to keep bad Mexicans out" to "There's a Mexican our ineffective government didn't stop - he must be a bad Mexican - let's whack him with a heavy object". Trump vilified an entire ethnic sub-population by saying - to paraphrase, since I can't be bothered reviewing his precise words yet again - "We only get the bad Mexicans" - it's not the precise words that matters; it is what they signify. It is absolutely critical to avoid labelling this woman as merely "bad" (which she probably is) because this is a result of what passes for political debate in the US about southern border control. She isn't the "other" - she's a policy-response to "bad Mexicans".stui magpie wrote:https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/09/us/m ... index.htmlTears glistened on the black and purple bruises covering 91-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez's face as he described being attacked by a group of people while going for a walk on the Fourth of July.

Saying that doesn't mean the debate can't be had - it just means the debate can't be had (at least in a civilized society) by sloganeering in Trump's way.

I'm not sure that an of African American woman from Los Angeles is likely to be a supporter of or influenced by Donald Trump and I would say 100% he would have no sympathy for the violent c***.
Just shows that violent racism can come from and target any and all races. Although I'm sure we wouldn't even see the article if she'd bricked a white man.
