Remember Tripp Isenhour and the dead bird? In case you missed it, he got off light

Under the “In case you missed it” category, former PGA Tour player Tripp Isenhour was sentenced for that bird he killed last year. Isenhour entered a “no contest” plea and was sentenced to a year’s probation, four hours of anger management classes, and 100 hours of community service, 40 of which he has to do at a wildlife or animal shelter. He bought out the rest of the community service time for $1,500. He also paid a $500 fine. He shouldn’t have been allowed to buy out his time. This wasn’t some lark, excuse the excruciatingly bad pun. It was no accident. A red-shouldered hawk’s loud chirps annoyed Isenhour while he was filming a video called, ironically enough, “Playing like a pro.” Isenhour took aim at the bird not once, not twice, but 10 times before knocking it out of a tree and killing it. The case got a lot of attention and, of course, Isenhour blamed the media. He ultimately admitted responsibility. Still, what a colossal jerk. Comments:
Is this any worse than shooting moose from a helicopter? Tripp should be VP!!

Only if he field-dressed it, and kept an eye on Putin the entire time.
Yeah, it does sound like the sort of thing Sarah America would do.
Just don't ask her how she'd field-dress it: more blithering answers.

Being a jerk is still legal in America (just look at our staff of bloggers!) I hope that the $1500 went to a wildlife conservation agency and not the taxidermist who stuffed the bird for Tripp (not many golf trophies on his shelf at home.) Jerks fade away.

Oh WOW...is it ever fun to come listen to the Worldgolf liberal SCUM when they get together! ;) You slime are soooooo predictable! I just cannot WAIT till 'Sarah America' is VP!!! *LOL*
Actually, *I* think Tripp got off FAR too lightly. What a poor example he set for kids. If you kill something, you DAMM well better EAT it! Leave a comment: |
