Who Most Deserves To Be Stomped By An Elephant? Wayne LaPierre

Attempted murder:
Mike Spies / New Yorker:
The Secret Footage of N.R.A. Chief Wayne LaPierre's Botched Elephant Hunt  —  The chief executive has cultivated his image as an exemplar of American gun culture, but video of his clumsy marksmanship—and details regarding his Rodeo Drive shopping trips—tells another story. 

 [...] 

LaPierre’s life style, as described in the deposition, is a stark contrast from the Americans the N.R.A. claims to represent. Lawyers pressed LaPierre about nearly three hundred thousand dollars in payments that Ackerman McQueen made to Ermenegildo Zegna, a luxury men’s fashion retailer on Rodeo Drive, in Beverly Hills, to dress LaPierre between 2004 and 2017. According to an N.R.A. ad, the group’s coalition includes “steelworkers,” “cowboys,” “hard-rock miners,” “swamp folks in Cajun country who can wrestle a full-grown gator out of the water,” “the mountain men who live off the land,” and “the brave cops who fight the good fight in the urban war zones.”
Lying, posing grifter w/ a guaranteed army of sucker-ass chumps. Nice work if you can get it.
