Drunken / Stoned Idiots Taunt, Inciting Tiger To Attack

That's what the headlines should have read then apparently and are now belatedly being somewhat adjusted to today, as the truth comes out and we all now know that the attack was in some ways brought on by drunken ill advised behavior then exacerbated by a not to spec enclosure.

We all knew then and now it's confirmed that indeed the surviving two lied profusely about the events even to their lawyer Mark Geragos who trotted out for weeks defending their lame story filled with denials , all hoping to somehow hold the zoo entirely responsible for their idiotic and even below childish behavior for adults, which these three are if only by virtue of their age, at least.

Victim Drunk During Tiger Attack:

The Associated Press: Police: "SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One of the three victims of San Francisco Zoo tiger attack was intoxicated and admitted to yelling and waving at the animal while standing atop the railing of the big cat enclosure, police said in court documents filed Thursday.

Paul Dhaliwal, 19, told the father of Carlos Sousa Jr., 17, who was killed, that the three yelled and waved at the tiger but insisted they never threw anything into its pen to provoke the cat, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

'As a result of this investigation, (police believe) that the tiger may have been taunted/agitated by its eventual victims,' according to Inspector Valerie Matthews, who prepared the affidavit. Police believe that 'this factor contributed to the tiger escaping from its enclosure and attacking its victims,' she said." continued
