As seen over at some crazy blonde hippy's blog, golf pro Tripp Isenhour is now in some trouble with a few people over his decision to try and hit a rather loud bird hawk with his golf shot as sort of a game. The problem is that golfer Isenhour killed the hawk.
Now, I'm no animal nut so I'm not as upset about golfer Tripp Isenhour killing bird hawk as the US Solider Killing A Puppy thing (I think THAT guy should go to military prison) as I think this was dumb luck and a dumber choice. I don't care who you are, hitting a hawk that is ~3 feet in size from 80 yards with a golf ball is dumb luck. However, TRYING to hit the hawk with a golf ball... and you're a professional golfer... you've gotta be an idiot.
Here's the story at the associated press so you know it's not just some hippy making stuff up.
As a last note, we had a hawk at our golf course the last couple seasons. They're absolutely amazing. This guy really must have had his wires crossed that day to even consider taking one out... a serious lapse in judgement. Maximum penalty is $1500 and 14 months in pound me in the ass prison.

he's from Atlanta. if he wants to hits hawks with golf balls he should just attend an Atlanta Hawks game. i don't even think that's illegal.
prison time is much needed for that retard if only because of the fellow retards who hear about what he did and try it for themselves. pound his ass judge! pound ho!
