I think the mainstream media's coverage has been terrible, showing its bias.

All they've talked about in terms of public reaction is the "growing outrage" over the gorilla's death, taking up the cause of the (Democratic) animal rights extremists.

So many people online have expressed other opinions. Yet the media doesn't mention AT ALL that public opinion online is sharply divided, and that many people are outraged by the animal rights extremists valuing the gorilla's life over a human being's.

This is nothing short of squelching public debate by silencing a large segment of the public, one of the main reasons why Trump has so much support.

That kid was toast, to put it bluntly. That animal viewed that kid as his prize. In the wild, they will kill their offspring if they view them as a threat to the troop. Most times it is males who did not have anything to do with the breeding of the youngster.
Just watch at how fast he went through the water with that kid. In a few more moments he would have torn the arms off that kid.
I would imagine that the strenght of that animal is equal to about a lot very well built humans.

Another Freeper had a good point. Suppose the gorilla had killed the black child. Then there’d be outrage that the zoo did not rush to the child’s aid and instead, irresponsibly allowed the gorilla to kill him, just because the child was black. They’d be angry that the gorilla was NOT killed. There’s no way the zoo could have won no matter what they did.

Imagine the outrage in the black community had that gorilla killed or maimed that little black boy. BLM would be all over this and it would be 24/7 in the media. If that child was white, I’m not so sure the authorities would’ve shot that gorilla. Yeah, I’m serious. Killing the gorilla was in part a socio-political decision to avert riots and all out chaos. I am dead serious. THINK ABOUT IT.

Stay out of weeds Mr. Trump. “I don’t have enough information on the incident to comment, next question please”.

Some people say the gorilla is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the gorilla?
