The death of Cecil, a wild animal that survived by eating other wild animals, sparked hipster outrage around the world.
Piers Morgan, a talking head that once actually had a news show on CNN, advocated skinning alive the hunter who shot the Zimbabwe lion.
So, who remembers James Foley? Foley was a journalist who went to dangerous places to cover important stories. His beheading by ISIS was uploaded to YouTube on Aug. 19 last year specifically so his family could see it. There was no Twitter outrage by the hipster celebrities or the “social justice” college crowd.
Why? Unlike Minnesota dentists, ISIS fights back. Hipsters and “social justice” warriors, while they certainly enjoy the emotional jolts self-righteous outrage provides them, are not known for their courage.
Oh, and did you see where the impoverished nation of Zimbabwe is going to put up a statue of Cecil?
The New York Daily News says, referring to the animal’s cubs, soon they will have a permanent place to remember their father.
Hipsters and “social justice” warriors are not known for their brains either.
But here’s a tidbit for them: Cecil was named for the British Imperialist Cecil Rhodes.
I think people have the ability to make little things seem like they are really big and important issues. The CP pushers of the world that have self motivations that don’t serve all but self.. However, as most don’t face serious danger at home they don’t think of those who risk their lives to report real news that people should see as very serious.. I pray they don’t face those serious issues here at home, but fear that is soon to come…
Very well said, Tom.
Now, now Bill … get your priorities straight! The corrupt ‘news’ broadcasters are just trying to protect us from reality. Even Fox will relentlessly loop images of a ‘murdered’ lion but none of them would dare show an unblurred photo of a headless James Foley or let us see what a pile of butchered unborn babies looks like.
At least the mystery is solved as to why abortionist Kermit Gosnell had all those jars of pickled baby feet. They were a revenue stream!
True but depressing point, Cathy.
