S.F. Zoo Tiger May Have Been Taunted: Investigation into Christmas Day mauling
"Johnson said she was shocked that her eldest son — whom she described as a 'good Christian' — was arrested in connection with the slayings of three generations of the Anderson family. "
WTF does "good Christian" even mean anymore?
And apparently the killers met through an online dating service -- probably one of the ones that don't let gays join because they are "perverts." Ahhh, dios mio...
MSpaint a bullseye on that forehead, Feit!
Do not taunt happy fun ball.
@1: I heard that he hadn't spoken to his family in a while since some sort of "monetary dispute"- also super Christian of him.
The whole situation is awful, and from what I've been able to gather, the daughter who's being held in connection to it was more than a little off. "Wired different" is what someone said, I think. Shorthand for "selfish bitch".
Poor tiger. Murdered for killing some fucking moron who taunted him and earned his own death.
@4: Or just "crazy bitch."

@10: Sorry, I don't get it. It's a picture of her....and...so...
Forgive me. I'm not the snarkiest bulb in the Slog chandelier so I am missing the substance of your comment.
Jesus fuck. She's wearing the same goddamn thing and she has the same goddamn droolcup look.
@13: Value-added insight.
Oooh--it's like the movie Airplane, in the scene where Lloyd Bridges is standing dramatically in front of the picture of Lloyd Bridges standing dramatically in front of a picture of Lloyd Bridges!
Cool.
Can Charles expound on the politics of why that picture of her is totally elongated so she appears thinner? Is it SLOG doing that, or capitalism?
