I know Sea Lions =/= Seals but reminded me of this. Don't want to fuck with Seals either.

That's what Vancouver has become. A whole bunch of racist fuckers from both sides of the fence. Everyone puts on this friendly hipster smile but in reality the communities are pretty segregated and people like it like that.

I think this seal/sea lion needs to be put down, like Harambe was. It's a danger to society

Family slammed for 'reckless behaviour' after sea lion drags girl into water in Richmond, B.C. - British Columbia - CBC News

"You wouldn't go up to a grizzly bear in the bush and hand him a ham sandwich, so you shouldn't be handing a thousand-pound wild mammal in the water slices of bread," Kiesman said."

They were smart to GTFO, quickly. This kind of news goes worldwide. It's on CNN, now.

I've seen it as memes on reddit, FB 2 or 3 times, and instagram several times as well. I'm just glad we were able to get the original source posted here rather than resorting to reposting a meme version

Dayummm ... some dude is overnight rich. Youtube video is on front page of USAToday, ABC News, CBC, CTV, Toronto Star, and of course, the local ones. 5.5m view and trending. Guy is not even related ... just a bystander.

I wouldn't say hes "overnight rich". He has a viral video, probably made some money from it, but rich? I don't think so.

6.5 million views at $2 CPM is like $13K from Youtube so far. This might his 13m by the time people forget about it.

Not "overnight rich" but a nice payday for being at the right place at the right time, and worrying more about your phone than saving a little girl

When something like that happens so fast, not sure what you expect. He obviously reacted when his hands went over the lens and someone who wasn't as occupied doing something (like filming) had already jumped in. It also looked like he was one of the hands helping to pull up the grandpa back up.

Just becuase the camera was aimed at the action doesn't necessarily mean he was attached to it and wasn't using his own eyes to assess and try to help if he could.

I know I was being facetious (hence the emote)

That old dude jumped in so quick you can't blame anyone around for "not being the hero"

That's if he has turned on youtube monetization. Also I don't think he gets paid if a person is using add blocker.
