A community for posts about the killing of Brian Thompson and the official suspect, Luigi Mangione.
This is not reddit and this is not the older sister comm on lemmy.world, so as long as your account's instance allows it, you don't have to use euphemisms or subtle implications, unless they're really funny. The killer is a folk hero and Brian Thompson deserved to be assassinated for social mass murder.
This community also allows memes, fanart, and relevant discussion of surrounding issues like healthcare and media coverage.

"Unprovoked" in the sense that no one had started shooting yet. Though what caused the buffalo to randomly charge directly at and over some guy dressed like a hunter, I guess we'll never know. Certainly seems like a major fuck up on someone's part.
As for the "conservation" thing yeah, it's bullshit on top of stolen valor. There's some hunters, poor folks, who rely on the land and so do develop a more conservationist approach to the idea that the habitats they require to live must be protected. And for deer hunters, because ranchers killed off all the wolves, deer do need predators to thin populations or else they over stress their habitat and start dying from shit like CWD. So its a human made problem but human hunters are one solution.
But big game hunters are rich folks that pay real hunters to show them around and then proclaim themselves to be environmentalists for assisted poaching of endangered species. They rely on those other things I said to provide moral cover for their gross hobby. Fuck big game hunters.
Prey animal that weighs as much as a truck and has survived for millions of years with everything trying to eat it: Has evolved a brain capable of identifying predators based on past interactions and decides to defend itself. Literally the same thing they do to wolves and cougars and shit.
Humans: Surprised Pikachu face "But I thought they were too dumb to do that!"
The fucking gall to call this "unprovoked." Your presence and smell provoked them because they saw their family getting gunned down by your species dumbass. What, did you fucking expect them to just stand there like a video game NPC waiting for you to initiate the battle?
