    Dean Meminger Jr. is such a nice guy and a decent reporter. He seems to be a real person reporting what he sees, rather than being a blowhole hogging air time or preening for the camera.

    It's difficult to see someone you love and care about sinking with the ship. I hope Mr. Meminger Sr. has a speedy recovery, and that the other affected families find shelter and comfort soon.

    There are skeletons in every families closet. Noone is perfect. Please have compassion and consider what others may be going through when they don't behave exactly as you wish they would. You do not know what they are experiencing. These are trying times for everyone.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    Lewis Dodley is such a gentleman. I have met him many times and was always impressed.

    That’s it. I can’t take it anymore, this Dominic Carter-bashing. First, Mr. and Mrs. Carter often beat the shit out of one another. I’m not condoning this, but they need to go to counseling or breakup. Dominic should not have hit back; though his wife is larger and stronger, that’s still no excuse .

    For this, Dominic will serve jail time, as he should. As for his name-dropping, hey, who doesn’t do that when they can? I use Rachael Ray’s name every time I go to my favorite Midtown restaurant.

    Finally, Inside City Hall without Carter is just a waste of airtime. No one on NY1’s staff is capable of handling Al D’Amato and Edward I. Koch, except for Dominic Carter. He asks smart questions can hold his own with any guest and is generally on top of most of the New York City and State issues.

    So he should serve his time, apologize, work things out with his wife, and get back to work.

    @Nesbiteme: You know what’s sick? Hiram Monserrate did worse, had ample evidence, and got off. Dominic Carter is no angel but the politics reporter does time, but the politician gets off.

    Complete hypocrisy.

    @iheartapocalypse: Is there some reason we're no longer a part of the natural world? Lions eat deer. Things eat other things. It's not our fault that that's pretty frikking awesome to watch. We're evolved creatures who used to be preyed on, of course we find it fascinating to watch.

    Now quit yer bellyaching and just enjoy watching shark week, for christ's sake. #viralvideo

    I'm a parent who has taken the kids to a lot of zoos.

    Though I might watch it on YouTube, if I were to ever run across a lion eating a deer in real life, I'd most likely shuffle the kids to another exhibit and I really don't think I'd revert to baby talk.

    Sure... circle of life, but that's why they made cable.

    This story is like Where the Red Fern Grows meets Bambi. With lions.

    Did they at least give the deer to the lion to eat? That's the closest it's going to get to hunting for it's whole life. #viralvideo

    I'm sorry, but this was one of the funniest damn things I've seen all weekend. That tiger was so self conscious. I think it purposely let the deer get away just to appease the masses. It's either that or he's just the laziest tiger ever.

    Am I the only one who finds the hysterics of the crowd terrible and frightening? It's like an instant, just-add-water version of the kind of 24 hour news-inspired rubbernecking people do when celebrities die, or when boys float into the sky (or not) in giant science fiction balloons created by their loony fathers.

    Also, lady, that fucking deer can't understand you when you tell it to run into the water. Hence, you are a moron. #viralvideo
