Zimbabwe won't charge dentist

NOT saying the dentist is a great guy, just relaying the facts. Notice, Johnny Rodrigues very carefully doesn't mention any particular law that was broken. He's afraid his PR stunt for more funding is going to wither away and die. This is the most people he's ever gotten to listen to his liberal, anti-hunting rants.

And the last line, about the "catastrophic recession" is hilarious; like "Mad Bob" has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I hope he sues the local media that tried and convicted him without any facts, basically ruining his dental practice.

Didn't take long for this corrupt dictatorship to miss the money, did it?

LOL, everybody wants to sue. He can try to sue the media all he wants, but so long as they didn't report knowingly wrong information that was slanderous, then they are in the clear for reporting public information.

Wonder if SCI is going to rethink their knee jerk reaction siding with the anti hunters?

This will never make the headlines, and the few places that do report it will be a drop in the bucket compared to the "crucifixion" he went through.

Wonder if the folks on this forum who claimed to have inside information and parroted the anti hunter line that the lion was illegally lured off the reserve are going to rethink their knee jerk reaction as well.

Doubtful since the article states that the PH is still facing charges for that. They just didn't blame the hunter for the guides actions.

Big portion of that was just jealousy, pure and simple.

The crux of the matter is if the guide did a drag starting in the park. That's of course illegal. If he did a drag 1" off the road that forms the boundary, he was legal. Could be a crooked PH. Could be a crooked land owner. PHs wait, legally, for game to wander out of the parks into a hunting area all the time. I don't believe the details of the drag were ever covered, just the media word "lured". It sounds so sinister, like a child molester.

Lol yes they do but in this case I sure wish he could sue! Basically ruined this mans business because of libetard animal loving idiot reporters over a damned animal!

I'm familiar with the local coverage and it's been already been reported that he wouldn't be charged. At the time the story broke, there was a pretty good breakdown of what the law was and that the PH, bore the responsibility for a legal hunt. That revelation meant nothing to the animal activists. The PH involved has since been charged with violating Game Laws in South Africa, capturing and transporting animals, without the proper permits.

Well it did make the headlines. No it won't get the coverage because the aspect about the dentist is no longer an ongoing story with updates. That is only logical.

I'm curious what you find funny about this?

And I don't need an explanation from you on what you can and can't sue the media for oh great wise one.

I think Theo Bronkhorst's trial is back on tomorrow after his lawyers argued for the charges to be dropped against him back in September. I predict that after Palmer was cleared he will be cleared also.
