This guy is really brave and the little girl is still able to walk around. Now to get a little political about it all, her dad must have been a liberal.



A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m v****g for Trump".

The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH

And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days

I h**e to say it, but you're right about how things are reported these days.

Rings true. I like it.

Well, it could have read " Biker beats defenseless animal and kidnaps little girl ". Either one would sell papers.

Ah yes, but the Marine admitted to being a right leaning Marine Republican. That makes your headline a little soft for left leaning papers.

Spot on, old chap, spot on.

So you think that just saying biker and defenseless animal would be appropriate? I don't think the left leaning media people would try to take advantage of the Marines, like you say, and I am sure the defenseless animal bit wouldn't work for them. I would think that your wording would work but not nearly so well as what they used in the story.

LLM you say. Here is an example of a lion coming out on top but I can show you a video that shows the opposite outcome, if you need it.
