Happy 4th of July!
The Haight Street Underworld
Giants Clobber The Astros, 13-0
SFist Tonight
With the one-year anniversary of 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr.'s death by tiger approaching -- if you recall, it happened in Christmas day of 2007 -- the two brothers who survived the big-cat attack have filed a federal lawsuit against the city and county of San Francisco, the SFPD, the zoo, and a public relations firm hired by the SF Zoo just after the attack. The Dhaliwals claim that the "tiger enclosure was lower than recommended national standards" and that "the zoo started a smear campaign against the Dhaliwal brothers following the attacks." (KCBS)

i kid you not, my friend Jeff Leppard is planning a 1-yr anniversary party at the zoo on X-Mas where all attendees (54 confirmed so far) will be wearing Tiger themed graphic t-Shirts.
1. Only idiots taunt tigers, zoo or no zoo.
2. No deadly animal should be able to escape a zoo enclosure unless someone leaves a door open, takes down a fence, or something similar.
3. Garagos (the kids' attorney) is a supreme douchebag who embodies many negative lawyer stereotypes. The civil rights claims are complete bullshit.
@Oznog: is it cool if idiots taunt the zoo? we plan on leaving the animals alone.
I say that idiots get what they deserve. In this case they'll just have to wait a little bit longer...
please tell me that jeff leppard's nickname is "def."
@SFX: yes.
Waste of life.
They pissed in the tiger habitat. They're a couple of assholes.
Is this a great country or what? Even douchebags are treated equally under the law.
This years Darwin award goes to......
the dhaliwal brothers.
I love these lawsuits. We're stupid, it's not our fault we're stupid. The zoo should have known we were stupid before we got there. Now, pay up.
Assholes.
