What’s really interesting is how TST dealt with all the threats they were getting from God-fearing Christians.
According to TST spokesperson Lucien Greaves, attendees for the event had to go through the following process:
1) Show up at the location stated on the e-ticket.
2) Go through a security checkpoint there.
3) Sign a contract transferring their souls to Satan.
4) Get the real location for the event, which was miles away.
It worked. The event went off without a hitch.
I kind of love the things that TST pulls. Like when christian children's books were allowed to be distributed in schools, they made their own. Suddenly nobody was so keen on allowing religious organizations to do this:

So two stories...
One is about Chicago police stopping a anti-violence rally/concert because one of the performers had an outstanding warrant and decided to show up on stage.
As a hologram, while he was actually in LA.
Or the story about how a man with a concealed carry actually acted like how everyone wishes they would and managed to shoot (and wound!) the crazed gunman that was firing on him and his friends.

Would you like to know more?
Even better, in the case of the hologram, the event was being held in Indiana. Chicago is in Illinois. So the police crossed state lines specifically to shut down the event on the say-so of Chicago's mayor who deemed that one performer to be banned in Chicago and viewed the event moving as an attempt to evade his order.
Technically it's not a hologram but Pepper's Ghost Trick USA wasn't as catchy as Hologram USA for a company name.

Does this end with a ticker tape parade thrown by the NRA?

I still don't even get the idea of Big Game Hunting. Between hiring guides to do all the hard work for you and the fact that most of these Animals aren't that dangerous when you're shooting from the safety of a jeep, it's really not a sport at all.

Its even more sad that it was an effectively tame lion that was lured out of the park it seems and was tame enough to let the poachers remove its collar before being taken to the kill spot and shot with a cross bow. There probably won't be any legal action to punish him but I would do everything in my power to make sure his clients know what kind of guy he is and that should take care of his business pretty fast.
I would think the same laws that get people who committ sex crimes abroad should roast someone who poaches. But I'm guessing politically that would be a no go for at least one half of the US.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

There's different types of Big Game Hunting the same with many things. The people who hunt grizzly bears solo walking where they can be smelled by and mauled by bears if they misread the wind and armed with a single shot, muzzle loaded rifle are a bit different from the people flying to Africa to shoot from a jeep with a guide armed with a rifle in case the hunter messes up the shot. Likewise the latter are different from the types roughing it the whole time and doing it on foot.
The locals in places where hunting is legal are often happy to help guide since it brings in money which makes losing the occasional goat to a predator less of a sting.
This guy is on another place entirely though given that there wasn't even even that level of effort going on.

The "hunt" organizer is already in legal trouble for this. Not sure what can happen to the dentist himself.
Apparently this isn't the first time he's gotten in trouble for a shady "hunt" though. He had to surrender his passport and spent a year on probation for an illegal bear kill some time in the past.

There are breeding programs that basically sell surplus animals for hunts like this - kill one adult rhino that's not suitable for breeding for whatever reason and get enough money for it to breed ten more suitable replacements - a net win for conservation efforts, and really, it's no worse of a PR nightmare to let some rich goosebag shoot them than zoos that cull baby giraffes because they were cousins to all the available females and could never be bred.

I guess for me its just bad optics that you have poorer african countries effectively selling their animals to be murdered by rich white people. And it leads to situations like this one, where the asshole killer knows there is no way in hell he can be touched by the law so even if he breaks it, he feels fine.

10 bucks says decent hunters who hunt for food sustainably are the ones who get hit with the blowback on this one, not Rich Dick Dentist Dick, MD. (the MD stands for Mega Dick)

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
I think that's the heart of the story right there

Yeah, it's not like he's a Canadian Senator or anything.
Hey, our senators have a hard life. Have you ever tried to eat broken crackers and cold brie off of a hooker's breasts?

I told the hooker I wanted a 'Canadian Senator' and she said even hookers have standards.
