Elk kills man who shot it

By Jayati Ramakrishnan

The Oregonian 

A Hillsboro man died Sunday morning in Tillamook County after an elk that he had shot and wounded the previous night charged at him, fatally wounding him.

Mark David, 66, had been archery hunting on private property in Tillamook County on Saturday evening. According to Oregon State Police, David hit a bull elk and wounded it, but couldn’t find it before nightfall.

The next morning, David and the property owner went out to look for the elk. Around 9:15 a.m., David found the elk and tried to kill it with his bow.

State police say the elk charged David and gored him in the neck with its antlers. The property owner tried to help David, but he died from his injuries.

Police say the elk was killed and the meat was donated to the Tillamook County jail.

That's entertainment

A rapist was killed by police and people are going all George Floyd.

“Every Saints player had the name ‘Jacob Blake’ on the front his helmet … shedding light on systemic racism, police brutality, social justice and several other initiatives that are areas of heightened concern.” –New Orleans Saints Press release.

From gunfreezone: “Putting the name of a girlfriend beating rapist and sex offender on their helmets is in brand for the NFL since they also put the names of girlfriend beating rapists and sex offenders on the backs of their jerseys, too.”

Really, it’s all entertainment. Rioters, arsonists, looters playing out street theater for TV news and everybody with a phone. NBA and NFL players kneeling in solidarity with victims of something. Not with the beaten, robbed, shot and raped victims, though. No, no. Only with their fellow criminals.

How far will those people go to change history?

In his second inaugural address, President Lincoln said: "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan." 

That’s not good enough these days.

“Advocates for changing the motto have offered up a paraphrase of Lincoln's words: ‘To care for those who have borne the battle, and for their families and survivors.’"
