The fuck is wrong with people
I don’t know, but guns seem to enhance it.
Might have been self defense. They’re real rapey.
I get the sarcasm
No one wants to take a joke…
I want to know what the dolphen was wearing, maybe a dark hoodie. Will they release the arrest record of the dulphin? What was the dolphin holding? Why is so much media attention going to this one dolphon? All sea creatures matter. I read the fisherman thought it was his taser and feared for his life, let’s see how you react in a dark alley with a young dofin.
Dofin is their word, we really shouldn’t be using it at all. Dolphin is the acceptable spelling and term.
No no, it’s okay, my nephew is half porpoise, I can say that.
I heard the dolphin has no currently active warrants, and may have been armed, although no weapon was located at the scene.
Well I’m 1/8 dolphin, my great great grandmother was a dolphin princess.
Loooooool
I’d really prefer if you used “D***n” instead of typing out the word. It’s kind of jarring to see it out there even in an educational context.
“HE HAD A BLOWGUN I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY”
That Dolphin was No Angel!!! Stand for are Cop’s and Kneel for are Cross!
If it was a dauphin that was shot, everyone in this corner of the Fediverse would be cheering.
I hear he was buying skittles and a drink. Dolphin was clearly making lean.
The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.
We gotta arm the teacher fish
“The dolphin, a juvenile, had injuries consistent with being shot with a firearm,” NOAA said.
Halfway there! 🙏
* pupfish school
Holy shit that’s evil.
Article says near New Orleans, Louisiana if you’re wondering
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
Now thats just damned well inaccurate, some of us dont think of the south at all except for when we see yous plates. Seriously the only part of the south I care to think about is Arkansas more specifically around little rock since ive got kin there.
yous plates
Not sure if yinzer that relocated or typo?
Nope Im from SoCal. My dialect and accent are absolutely fucked, got me Southern, northern Appalachia, brogue, and fucken 1800s great laker influences and thats not even accounting for the random hick/redneck influence from the last hundred years.
Seriously the last of my actual blood relatives who lived in Arkansas was just after the civil war, problem is it got past from grandparent to grandchild. Meaning my southern part is at least 150 years out of date, makes me sound like a particularly rural Okie when it kicks in.
Luckily I am largely incapable of transliterating said abomination accent unless im fucken real tired, which I was when I made my previous comment. Also if youre curious on if all of them can be active at once, yes. Its a facsimile of a language.
Quick, let’s pass a law to let the sea turtles conceal carry!
The only thing that can stop a bad fish with a gun is a good fish with a gun.
Would a shark with a frickin’ laser beam attached to its head count?
Will someone think of the sea mammals/reptiles?

The obvious solution is to arm other dolphins with AR-15s.
I think SONAR-15s are the aquatic version
This is American af 🇺🇸
Yes. It’s good to see the NOAA jumping in like this.
I don’t know, the killer didn’t commence to deep fry it…
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
policecapital 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
Fuck.
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.
I feel so bad for laughing at this lmao
Maybe it was another dolphin. They don’t report dolphin-on-dolphin violence.
Whomever it was, it was done on porpoise.
Just as the Founders intended.
“Fuck the dolphins!” - Thomas Jefferson, probably
*Founders penning constitution beneath whale oil lanterns. Yea, probably?
What do the changelings care about sea mammals?
Off-topic, but it’s annoying how Lemmy will grab an image for a post, you go to the article, and can’t find it anywhere… wtf?
Bullets slow down exponentially in water. They caught a dolphin and then shot it to death on land.
Or shot a curious dolphin at the surface.
I wonder about that. Aren’t dolphins and whales non-buoyant, in the sense that they sink when they die?
Looking, I find https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/what-happens-when-whales-die.html
I guess the dolphin may have been at the floating stage?
Damn who is beefing with sea life?
Who votes Trump?
I’m against the death penalty. But maybe whoever did this to the dolphin should also get to experience what it went through.
I’ve got news for you: you’re not against the death penalty.
Eh, I said what I said when my emotions were high on this. Still against the death penalty though.
If you are for the death penalty when your emotions are high, you are for the death penalty period. People who are against the death penalty don’t go on the record in support of the death penalty, because it’s a principle, not something that you only stand for when it is convenient for you.
If the death of an animal is enough to make you flip, you’re probably going to side with most death sentences since they relate to the murder of human beings.
Someone could murder members of my family, and I would still be against the death penalty, because that’s who I am. You’re not going to hear me calling for anyone’s death, regardless of my emotional state, because I know that doesn’t solve anything, and it is bad for our society as a whole.
Alright man, I guess I’m a shit human being that’s not perfect and my words don’t matter because it seems that you’ve made up your mind about me as a person from one comment on the Internet.
Want to know one of the reasons why forest fires are so bad in California? It’s because we stopped doing controlled burns and allowed places to become so overgrown and dry that the fires go out of control. (Climate change too, but not the point)
My point being is that it’s a ridiculous stance to suggest that all life has value to society. This is simply untrue, much in the same way that Elon Musk isn’t billions of times more valuable than his employees.
I don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry for your family. I will absolutely drop a motherfucker for threatening my family, and there isn’t a single argument you can make about that being bad for society.
