One of the world’s leading investigators into the illegal trade in ivory and rhino horn has been killed in Kenya.
Esmond Bradley-Martin, 75, was found with a stab wound to his neck at home in the capital Nairobi on Sunday.
The former UN special envoy for rhino conservation was known for his undercover work establishing black-market prices.

I can tell you the most unfortunate thing about all this, his killers will never be arrested.

Oh yes. We suspect we know who might be involved anyway and that is why whoever will be arrested will be a scapegoat

I sympathize with you, Noel. Things are falling apart over here too. Some kind of tragic end seems unavoidable now. We’re in big trouble.

Why can’t the Dems release their memo without the Orange one’s approval?

Because it refers to and mentions classified information. Trump de-classified the Repukes memo and now, because of that, the idiot has set a precedent for doing such things. If he doesn’t de-classify the Dems memo, it will surely look as if he and the Repukes are afraid of what’s in it. If he does, it will even further dispute the validity of the Repukes memo. The fucking idiot and his band of shit-head Repukes should simply have left things alone, but his tiny, snowflake ego wouldn’t allow it. Now the jig has backfired on him. Just like firing Comey. If the idiot hadn’t done that, the investigation would be over. Now, he’s obstructed justice and made it worse–for himself. What a bloody idiot!

I have seen debate on that. That he was impressed with the Bastille Day parade and now he want tRumpiski parade

Thing he doesn’t know is that Bastille Day celebrates a day when the poor cut the heads off the rich. Something we need to do here, I believe.

As any good chef would tell you, animal heads have a lot of flavor in them. Usually, they’re roasted and simmered down into a broth or sauce. Filthy rich people are animals, aren’t they?

They could, but I don’t think it would make much difference. Republicans’ furor over their Nunes memo is an obvious political canard to deflect the negative attention on Trump towards the FBI who is investigating him.

I try to tell people, not voting IS voting. When you’re not involved and voting, you are casting your vote and it says, “Oh, well, whatever happens is fine by me. That’s my vote.” Look where that’s gotten us.

Surely this MUST have been an accident. He must have slipped onto a knife that slipped into his neck; then, just before dying, he ran outside, tossed the knife in a river and came back inside to die. What else could have happened, eh?

of course it was an accident. Just it was an accident when i accidentally killed a man, who coincidentally also had harassed some lady friend of mine… but was of course a totally unrelated event…

I sometimes wish that evil people would kill each other in large numbers (without collateral damage). That way karma is paid without good people lowering themselves to the level of unconscious predators and we’ll have a better chance to become civilized.
Yes, I have dark thoughts at times.
