    I want to know what the dolphen was wearing, maybe a dark hoodie. Will they release the arrest record of the dulphin? What was the dolphin holding? Why is so much media attention going to this one dolphon? All sea creatures matter. I read the fisherman thought it was his taser and feared for his life, let’s see how you react in a dark alley with a young dofin.

      Dofin is their word, we really shouldn’t be using it at all. Dolphin is the acceptable spelling and term.

        I’d really prefer if you used “D***n” instead of typing out the word. It’s kind of jarring to see it out there even in an educational context.

          I heard the dolphin has no currently active warrants, and may have been armed, although no weapon was located at the scene.

        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.

          Huh, TIL. I honestly expected it to be related to a really old racist term and not to French

          Coonass, or Coon-ass, is a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. Some view it as derogatory, however many Cajuns embrace the name. The term is believed to originate from the French word conasse, meaning a fool.

          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.
