Paging Doctor Palmer, this is the world talking and it appears we all still hate you.
Yesterday saw Walter return to work after weeks of hiding, his first interview only granted over the weekend. As you can imagine there was an angry mob awaiting his arrival, one woman in particular being rather vocal. This from Mashable:
Walter Palmer entered the clinic in Bloomington [Minneapolis] at about 7 a.m. without a word to media gathered outside. As he walked from his vehicle, a staff member met him on the sidewalk, grabbed his arm and parted a throng of reporters to rush the dentist to the front door.
Employees also escorted patients inside. Police blocked off an area around the clinic and were working to minimize potential traffic congestion in case of a big protest turnout.
It looks like Walter will not be extradited, given that it has been a month since Zimbabwean officials said their police would file the paperwork and there have since been no new developments.
The worst may have passed but this isn’t close to over for Palmer. I imagine dentists in the area will be seeing an uptake in business, the idea of heading off for a root canal is bad enough without having to pass a throng of haters at the front door.
