The whole world had a moment of righteous indignation this past week over the senseless killing of an tracked African lion by some full on douche bag of a dentist from the Minneapolis area. The biggest internet wildfire that folks had seen in a long long time as the vile man has all but been chased from public life - good riddance to bad garbage.
But day two brought out something new , at least new to me - and Im not even really sure what to call it. People, right left and center were doubly outraged that time was being spent on the poor lion when their cause was much much more important.
How dare you talk about this lion when __________ is happening. African American women can't leave their house and Planned Parenthood is snatching toddlers out of mothers arms to chop up and put in pies. On and on and on.
I dont really know about all these very outraged people, but I have now and always have had the ability to be outraged over several things - hell dozens of things - all at once. Not at all good enough for the new full on victim class - it's their current horror or non at all.
