The Rushdie attack is totally fatwa related. The Ayatollah decreed “we will get him when he least expects it. 25 years from now.”
Starting to worry that the kid who threatened to beat me up after school might still have a statute of limitations

There's still a bounty on him. Apparently he'll lose an eye and has nerve and liver damage.

It's crazy that they can't rescind the fatwa because the only person who can rescind it is the person who issued it, and he died fucking decades ago.

Looks like he’s on the mend at least.
Same can’t be said for poor Freya the Walrus. This is why we can’t have anything nice.

How in the name of all fuck has the Rushdie attacker plead "Not guilty"?

I didn't realise that sharp objects cut things. It's my first knife and I thought it would just bounce off his skin.

I suspect that it’s closer to:
“I’m doing God’s work and therefore I’m innocent and cannot be judged by your court”
Which is only a heartbeat away from the logic that Trump fanatics are using

Exactly - move her, or reiterate the warnings one last time before letting the chips fall where they may.
It'd only take one dipshit to suffer tusk-related puncture wounds for the rest of 'em to back off, after all.

You don’t put a healthy animal down. Healthy animals are murdered.
Honestly pisses me off so much.

Well it's more that they were forced into that position because people wouldn't leave her the fuck alone, not so much the euthanasia itself.

What Cubby said - I can accept that it's one thing to say "move her", and quite another to do so in practice, but the idea of being "forced" to kill an animal just because a bunch of humans couldn't bring themselves to leave it in peace... well, it doesn't sit right with me.

I understand the reason to put Freya down, I place the blame with the people who ignored the requests to keep their distance. But still, got to have a jolly and take a picture for Facebook or whatever they use, I guess.
My estimation of Norwegians had remained the same, I think most countries would have the same issue.
So it's people in general.

Dangle a small child from the end of a stick and attach it to her head
One child to potentially save dozens

Or just feed her people. The planet's overpopulated and there's plenty of dickheads.
