If the poor polar bears can survive long enough, this bunch of Neanderthals or maybe their Troglodytes (?), will be weeded out of the human breeding stock through the process of natural selection...at least we can all hope so!
They're an embarrassment to all who consider themselves human!

And one is surprised to see this from a country that persists in hunting whales?

You know, John, between this and the post from yesterday about the hit and run spectators, things are not looking good for humanity. How else does one explain the current regime of neocons? I think the inhumanity we see isn't because of Bushco. I think it allowed Bushco.
I think were it not for the Obama candidacy we might go the path of Yugoslavia. It's not that far-fetched.
Obama has brought what I label a spiritual opportunity of renewal. True renewal. I'm no Jesus Freak but this guy has a chance to do something of biblical proportions. I sure hope we can pull this off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQhEyraCVz8
Take care.

the poor creature looks positively exhausted! I doubt he could hurt a flea, let alone charge a villiage and kill people. What the holy hell is wrong with people. Jesus the poor thing is skin and bones. he probably wouldn't have lived very long anyway.

"What the holy hell is wrong with people"
You tell me.
"A naked Pinson man claiming to be Jesus Christ and George Bush was shot four times with a stun gun by Jefferson County sheriff's deputies this morning after he repeatedly refused to heed their commands.
Richard Scott Odell, 30, was treated on the scene by paramedics and taken to the Jefferson County Jail.
A motorist called deputies about 4 a.m. to alert them that the man was standing nude in the middle of Alabama 79 at Bradford Road. As the motorist approached the man, he stumbled toward the car and was struck by the car's mirror, sheriff's authorities said. The man then ran away.
The motorist summoned deputies. Armed with their X26 Tasers, they ordered Odell to the ground, but he refused. He was struck in the chest by the Taser but didn't go down. He was struck a second time and fell to the ground, but wouldn't roll over to his stomach. When he was struck a third time, the man yanked the Taser wires out of chest. After being shot a fourth time, Odell complied with deputies and was secured with handcuffs and leg irons.
Okay, I just have to ask you to please stop with the carnage posts. First the bear, then the man being run over, now the poor bear again. I suppose I'm too sensitive. I certainly can't stand to look at the videos or even pictures, just reading the headings is too much for me. But these things are also on other sites and in the news, so it's not like I'm asking to bury the stories. But why so much all at once?

I've got a suggestion about these so-called "carnage posts".
Aren't there any videos where Republicans get run over by a truck? Or where Conservatives fall through a bottomless crevasse? Or where KKKers get eaten by a grizzly?
THOSE would be the best "carnage" videos/pics to post, for sure.

Sadly enough, we're going to see more of this kind of behavior, not less. Inconsiderate. Unkind. Selfish. If only it was children acting out, we could move to admonish and correct the behavior. These are grown ups, adults, responsbile members of society. It scares me. It's tempting to register for one of those easy-to-get Florida concealed weapons permits for self-defense.

Unnecessary, infuriating, tragic.

How did they know the bear swam 200 miles? Was it fitted with a tracking device?

I have no words. That is so heartless. What on earth is wrong with people? What kind of people see a majestic animal like that polar bear and immediately think "Wow, wouldn't it be cool if we KILLED it and took pictures?". Geesh.

dear Iceland, psycological screening of police might be a good idea

I agree with Stranded. It is bad enough to read the headlines, and know it happened; I cannot look at the pictures, much less view the video.

I figured if I dug deep enough...
"There were around 50 to 60 people there watching. The police did not have many options when the bear ran down the hill, approaching the crowd," Steingrimsson said.
Let the people die. Save the bears. Come on people, we're trying to get elected here. Get your panties out of a wad. A hungry bear charging down people, and the police are supposed to do what? Shoot the bear.

I can't even bring myself to look at the pictures because then I'll have the living hell this bear went through before it was killed seared into my brain.
As a species, we really suck.

Odell stated that he was Jesus Christ and George Bush and that he could break the handcuffs. Authorities said he appeared to be intoxicated.
