Does not bring a tear to my eye. I would love to go on a photo safari though.

Ship made a port call to Mombasa one time and went on a photo safari. Had a great time. That is the only way the animals should be "shot".

You should have. I know lately we have become desensitized to human death. I wonder what all the pundits will be saying about the killing by muslim terrorists in the UK??

We are reacting to the irony of the situation. This is the stuff of Darwin Awards. We just passed through Oklahoma City on our tour of old Route 66 - terrorists can be of many different religions.

Yeah, not so much. They all seem to be either muslim or atheist (as was the case in Okla City.)

So, if I read the story right, they were not hunting the elephants. The elephants charged them and they were defending themselves and the hunter was grabbed by an elephant which was then shot and fell on the person it had grabbed. Hmm, I'm not defending the hunting of large animals here, but this seems to have been a case of self-defense that fell short.

I hope his gun jammed and then he got jammed. I wonder if he guided the brave Trump boys.

FYI Timothy McVeigh was raised Roman Catholic and professed Christianity until the end. Should not take Fox News too seriously.
