      GOD DAMMIT that was the first thing I thought of and I was just about to post it! Post was 6 hours ago, your reply was 44 minutes ago. I was too late.

      I hate you, have my upvote.

        I thought I was too late to the party as well. It was 5 hours old when I posted, which is usually past most of the engagement.

        Or shove a bag of cocaine in its blowhole and claim it was resisting…

        Also there’s no confirmation as to whether this dolphin was at school.

          Nah, if a cop killed this dolphin, they would admit it but claim they thought the dolphin had a gun, get put on paid administrative leave, get cleared of all charges and then go back to work.

            We’ve reached level of absurdity in consensus reality that i unironically want to see the media circus involving a cop accusing a dolphin of having a gun.

              I for one back the blue.

              To be clear though, I mean the ocean, fuck the police capital defense force.

                We should have the police fight the ocean for the right to be called “the Blue”, with the Sky coming in with the steel chair

      Cameron Parish is near New Orleans in the same way that Delaware is near Virginia.

        Folks not from the south treat it the same way a good hunk of Americans treat Europe, think it’s culturally homogeneous, can’t pronounce the name of most towns/cities properly, and believe that we get along and like one another.

        As though I’d ever say anything positive about South Carolina or Florida

    I’m against the death penalty. But maybe whoever did this to the dolphin should also get to experience what it went through.

    Couldn’t it have washed ashore and then someone used it as target practice? Artical says gunshots happened near the time of death.

      Well yeah… gunshot wounds and death tend to be highly correlated.

    OK real shit if you shot and killed a dolphin, why in the fuck would you not harvest the meat? Like when else are you ever gonna get to try dolphin? Obviously I wouldn’t personally shoot a dolphin but if I did you can bet your ass I’m gonna try its meat instead of letting it rot

    Bullets slow down exponentially in water. They caught a dolphin and then shot it to death on land.
