so Brilliant that the idiot put the window down after being told NOT to...

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I hate when that happens.

"The park allows tourists to drive through the preserve where lions roam. A park official told AP the woman was taking pictures through an open window, even though visitors are ordered to keep windows closed, when the lioness lunged."

I assume her last conversation went thusly:

"Uh, miss, keep your window closed!"

"No way! It'll mess up my shots!"

Brilliant?...

Vancouver has a vibrant movie community. It has lost a young member. RIP

Signs are put up for a reason.

NO Exceptions.

The real world isn’t as forgiving as virtual reality.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I find it hard to bleed for “animal people” who are killed by wild animals. They seem to court their own death. Remember the man who loved grizzlies and they ate him.

The worst mistakes are stupid, dangerous, and come without Mulligans.

She’s there to save the wildlife. Why would they want to hurt her?

I can’t think of a more horrific death sequence. I’m shocked by the lack of sympathy. Maybe the safari lead has majoity responsibility for not enforcing the rules.

[Veto!]

So brilliant she couldn’t distinguish real life from images she could edit. Moron, and there are probably millions more just like her.

Some rules are written in blood.

The Lion

Oh, weep for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan!
He was eaten by a lion;
Following which, the lion’s lioness
Up and swallowed Bryan’s Bryaness.

She apparently didn’t love life enough to keep her window up. Simple things will keep you safe.

"a "brilliant, kind, adventurous and high-spirited" woman" Add and stupid.

[Gay State Conservative]

We were in Kenya last fall on a “safari” in one of the big game parks.We came upon a small group of lions just laying there being lazy.As the van got closer a couple of people expressed fear...and a couple of us *didn't* express it.But the guide told us not to worry because “they've just eaten”.

The irony, it hurts. See also:

And the verb in the headlines is in the past tense.

A while back we stopped at Virginia Safari Park (herbivores only). Same injunction, keep your windows up! DO NOT get out of your vehicle. Had an adult cow elk walk right up and lick the window. That's close enough for me.

p.s. This would be a great outing with the kids.
