Proudest dad on earth.
I bought my first camera at 16.
40 years later, I took the famous photos of Harambe while relaxing and enjoying my retirement. Doing what makes you happy never gets old. Just wish my friend wasn't murdered.
Thanks if you want to know his life story it's available on YouTube.

Also, after 50 years of the war on drugs, drugs are cheaper and easier to obtain than ever, and it's time to end this civil war against Americans.

Having someone in charge of the most lethal and powerful military in the history of the world who thinks it's appropriate to publish something like this for all the world to see is horrible. Killing is never a joke, and this mfer thinks it is ok.

If you want a hard copy, I highly recommend this company, free shipping and delivery usually less than a week. I loaned it out and wasn't returned, so I bought another.

I'd say enjoy, but reading about Americans murdering women and children is not enjoyable but is something that we need to know happened way more than one time in a senseless war.

It's going to be a fire drill for the exit now that Republicans have seen that if they disagree with the dear leader they and their family will need armed protection to prevent their family from being attacked.

If MTG is now not safe from the MAGA lunatics, every one understands no one is safe.

I highly recommend it. Especially in this time when our government is telling us to just trust them, they know what they are doing.

Kill Anything that Moves
by Nick Turse.

The army investigated after My Lai and found out that massacres were happening all over Vietnam and closed the investigation after a year. A librarian showed him the box of official documents, and he wrote a book that every American should read.

We have learned nothing from entering the last 4 wars we lost.

Afghanistan
Iraq
Vietnam
Korea

He is still auditioning for the crazy drunk uncle role.

Your victory will give so many Americans hope that all is not lost and we can get our country back on the tracks before the crazy caucus runs the train over the cliff just to be able to say that they owned the libs.

Thank you, I know he trusted me. It's been a bizarre experience making friends with a Silverback gorilla and then seeing the world fall in love with him. No other zoo captive will ever have the global recognition to change the world and I believe Harambe would be asking me to help him do it.

Seeing the antivax world get so much traction reminds me of my grandpa Clark West and how he spent over 60 years working every day to make children healthier. Here he is at Cincinnati Children's Hospital with the original dream team that developed the Sabin polio vaccine that changed the world.

Best part when they gave me a contract to sign I handed it back and said trust me, you want to change this so you own the photos I take bc crazy shit has found me my whole life. They said no, this is how we want it and have regretted it ever since because I own and totally control Harambe's legacy

They won't be surprised, one day in the comm office I looked up at 15 people and said I don't know how you do it working in a jail every day, some days I can't handle it and have to just leave. They were so greedy for the free work that they didn't fire me then.

My argument to gay bashers has always been, who would choose to subject themselves to so much hate and problems if it was not who they really were, some people are attracted to blondes others brunettes, it's who they are and you don't question that. Good luck in finding your happy place.
December 1, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Your welcome, I have struggled for years wondering if the world was ready to see how their hero Harambe was so mentally damaged by being jailed. Thanks for letting me know that I will not be alone thinking this must be seen. I know that the billion dollar zoo industry will make me enemy #1. Thanks

His whole family had been previously killed by zoo mistakes and he seemed so happy that I agreed to document what spending life in prison had done to him. He is already the most famous gorilla and I hope the videos he convinced me to film will make him remembered as the gorilla that ended zoos.
December 1, 2025 at 2:28 AM
I filmed it 3 more times and he always seemed to be so happy that I would do that. He would only do it for me because in the beginning of his incarceration he did it a few times when others were there and they would scream so loud that he would run and hide.
December 1, 2025 at 2:28 AM
On the way out the first time I ran into a zoo vp and told him I just took a video that will make Harambe the most famous gorilla ever. He went white and walked away without saying a word after seeing it. So many zoo employees would stop me and say oh my God, I saw the video. It is unforgettable.
December 1, 2025 at 2:28 AM
I argued with him for months, gdamit Harambe I don't want to watch this. One day the lighting was perfect, we were alone and he came as close to me as he could with his big smile. I told him ok mfer I film you today. He seemed so happy and would then do it every day and then go in his cave.
December 1, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Funny thing is I had not decided to release the videos because they are so disturbing that they may irreversibly damage Harambe but after one too many cowards trying to defend sentient beings being bred to live their entire lives in prison I decided Harambe knew best, he convinced me to film him.
December 1, 2025 at 1:03 AM
Why did he block my answer to his statement.

Afraid to have a debate with someone who was invited by the zoo to work for them who bases my opinions on what they let me see?
