    Bullets slow down exponentially in water. They caught a dolphin and then shot it to death on land.

      Or shot a curious dolphin at the surface.

        I wonder about that. Aren’t dolphins and whales non-buoyant, in the sense that they sink when they die?

        Looking, I find https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/what-happens-when-whales-die.html

        I guess the dolphin may have been at the floating stage?

      GOD DAMMIT that was the first thing I thought of and I was just about to post it! Post was 6 hours ago, your reply was 44 minutes ago. I was too late.

        I thought I was too late to the party as well. It was 5 hours old when I posted, which is usually past most of the engagement.

      Cameron Parish is near New Orleans in the same way that Delaware is near Virginia.

        Folks not from the south treat it the same way a good hunk of Americans treat Europe, think it’s culturally homogeneous, can’t pronounce the name of most towns/cities properly, and believe that we get along and like one another.

        As though I’d ever say anything positive about South Carolina or Florida

          Now thats just damned well inaccurate, some of us dont think of the south at all except for when we see yous plates. Seriously the only part of the south I care to think about is Arkansas more specifically around little rock since ive got kin there.

              Nope Im from SoCal. My dialect and accent are absolutely fucked, got me Southern, northern Appalachia, brogue, and fucken 1800s great laker influences and thats not even accounting for the random hick/redneck influence from the last hundred years.

              Seriously the last of my actual blood relatives who lived in Arkansas was just after the civil war, problem is it got past from grandparent to grandchild. Meaning my southern part is at least 150 years out of date, makes me sound like a particularly rural Okie when it kicks in.

              Luckily I am largely incapable of transliterating said abomination accent unless im fucken real tired, which I was when I made my previous comment. Also if youre curious on if all of them can be active at once, yes. Its a facsimile of a language.

    The obvious solution is to arm other dolphins with AR-15s.

      “The dolphin, a juvenile, had injuries consistent with being shot with a firearm,” NOAA said.

    Who’s to say it wasn’t another dolphin? Those things are smart and also violent. They probably can figure out how to shoot a gun.

        Or shove a bag of cocaine in its blowhole and claim it was resisting…

        Also there’s no confirmation as to whether this dolphin was at school.

          Nah, if a cop killed this dolphin, they would admit it but claim they thought the dolphin had a gun, get put on paid administrative leave, get cleared of all charges and then go back to work.

            We’ve reached level of absurdity in consensus reality that i unironically want to see the media circus involving a cop accusing a dolphin of having a gun.
