Inactive Simba Lion / Steven Hopps - Actual legal name, claims Disney stole it, SHOT TWO COPS (AND DIED)

[Twinkie]

People who have access to loaded guns don't usually suicide by cop lol. They just shoot themselves. Suicide by cop is for when you don't have a gun, or you have a "gun" but it's not a real gun, OR you have a gun but no rounds.

 

[Professor Iris]

OH NO! What would Mufasa think, Simba?!

 

[AnOminous]

The average left winger absolutely does not like furries. Most people of any political persuasion only have a vague idea of what they are and just assume they're a bunch of creeps into pretend bestiality without much political aspect. The far right hates them a lot more than average because they obsess over "degeneracy" and furries are basically the epitome of that, but few people really like them very much. A furry attempting to run on a Democratic ticket would flop harder than Brianna Wu.

The segment of the far right super obsessed with degeneracy is usually pretty degenerate itself, leading to shit like Nazifurs, who ironically end up hated by absolutely everyone because everyone hates furries, and furries are increasingly SJW because of SJW approval of degeneracy, so furries hate them even more.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my apartment lease has a clause in it that specifically says you're not supposed to try and exterminate shit on your own. You're supposed to notify the landlord, and then they notify a licensed exterminator. I presume that's pretty boilerplate nowadays. What he calls "B.S." is likely them simply enforcing the lease (which they're already trying to void via eviction anyways).

I think the dude just finally snapped. You know what they say about straws and camels.

according to one of the posts he made in the MIFurs facebook (before getting banned), his "slumlord property manager knows they are screwed and are trying to weasel out of the lease." he was delusional, full stop. making up scenarios in his head to push the responsibility of all his fuck-ups onto anyone around him.

an artist he held in high regard posted this journal about his state of mind in the last few years that i think is pretty illuminating. both his parents are dead, he's consistently pushed away all his friends, his last companion, his 18-year-old cat, passed away about 2 months ago, and he was just served an eviction notice the day before. why he shot at those cops isn't a mystery to me. i don't think it was suicide, but it's pretty clear he was severely mentally ill, probably indulging in his paranoid delusions because that's easier than accepting the fact that it's his own fault he's alone and unwanted in the world.

his last companion, his 18-year-old cat, passed away about 2 months ago

Leave it to the cat to deal one of the final blows that pushed him over the edge. 18 years with Simba is 18 years too long. At least the poor thing's not suffering anymore.

That jourrnal is actually a cow crossover with Roarey Raccoon!

Here's local copies of the news report and raw audio files:

That's raw audio? I expect the dispatch to keep archives in wav format, rather than mp4. It might be unedited, as in uncut, but it's not raw. The mp4 was probably downloaded from YouTube or bitchute. If a file has been upload to youtube or bitchute, it is automatically processed. They touch your file.

Or you have a gun, but are too much of a pussy to pull the trigger.

 

[Twinkie]

That doesn't really make sense. It takes way more courage to goad the police into shooting you (and hope you actually die, much less die quickly and relatively painlessly) vs having the courage to pull the trigger on yourself and be unconscious/dead before you hit the ground.

I'm working on some art.
I'm really not happy with the anatomy but I want to get it done by tuesday.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

Or you have a gun, but are too much of a pussy to pull the trigger.

Or you're religious and believe suicide is a sin, but somehow come to the conclusion that intentionally provoking someone to kill you isn't suicide. Or you think killing yourself is a "pussy way out" but getting into a firefight with cops is the height of badassitude in terms of ways to die. Or maybe you're just fucking nuts?

There's honestly a lot of reasons why someone with a gun might decide to provoke a police shooting rather than just blow their brains out. And with someone like Simba, with his mental issues? Yeah, there's no figuring that shit out, even if he himself tells you why because he himself is batshit fucking insane and can you really trust a batshit insane person to even understand their own scrambled thoughts?

 

[Regulas]

Yeah, normally they get respect but being a furry named Simba Lion negates that. Not even normal citizens respect furries, let alone fking inmates lmao

I don't know how it works in whatever county Simba Lion is from, but he probably won't see general population. Most facilities usually segregate high-profile inmates, regardless of their crimes. Then again, Michigan isn't exactly a shining beacon of pragmatism.

Monroe shooter identified by MSP as Simba Lion

Simba Lion, 40, has been identified as the suspect in Tuesday's shooting in the 700 block of Washington St.

Monroe shooting suspect remains in critical condition
by Tyler Eagle

Simba Lion, a 40-year-old Monroe resident who originally is from Oakland County and spent time in Georgia, remains hospitalized after Tuesday’s shooting.

The Michigan State Police of the Monroe Post has identified the man who reportedly shot two Monroe police officers as Simba Lion, a 40-year-old Monroe resident who originally is from Oakland County and spent time in Georgia.

Lion remains in critical condition at the Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center, Toledo. According to police, Lion has life-threatening injuries, which were the result of multiple gunshots he suffered when the two officers returned fire.

Lt. Brian Oleksyk said Lion has not been able to speak to investigators because of his condition, therefore any charges to be filed are pending.

“As of right now, he is not under arrest,” Oleksyk said. “He’s a suspect. We want to get his side of the story.”

The officers, whom officials have yet to identify, were released Tuesday afternoon after seeking treatment for gunshot wounds to their legs.

The incident, which began about 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Washington Arms apartments, 725 Washington St., stemmed from an alleged dispute between Lion and a maintenance worker at the complex over the use of pesticides.

Officers responded to two 911 calls that were made regarding an assault complaint. As officers attempted to contact Lion, he fired at them, striking them in the legs. Officers returned fire, striking Lion multiple times.

Lion, according to legal documents, was born Steven Joseph Hopps, in Oakland County. He initiated a petition to change his name to Simba Lion on Nov. 3, 2015, in the Superior Court of Athens/Clarke County, Georgia.

In the petition, Lion indicated both of his parents are deceased and he does not maintain relationships with extended family. He also said he had been using the name Simba Lion for 21 years.

The order was granted Jan. 6, 2016, according to court records.

In screen shots of Facebook forums obtained by The Monroe News, a person identifying himself as Simba Lion indicated he was allegedly in the middle of a dispute with Beal Properties, which manages his apartment building.

Beal Properties lists several apartments at Washington Arms as being managed by the company. Attempts by The Monroe News to contact a representative of the company were unsuccessful.

Those conversations also show Lion was involved in the Furry community, a subculture that idolizes anthropomorphic animals, essentially animals depicted with human characteristics. Often called Furries, the community sometimes dresses up as animals and gathers at social events.

When confronted by the landlord and police, Lion was wearing a holster, which held his sidearm. It could not be determined if Lion had a concealed pistol license. However, during the confrontation with police, he allegedly made reference that he had a legal license to carry that he obtained in Georgia.

It was not clear how long Lion had been in Monroe or why he chose to live here.

The fact the reporters name is furry-sounding makes this all the more amusing.

It makes alot more sense when you look at it from the eyes of a 40 year old paranoid-schizo, as opposed to looking at it from a sensible person's eyes.

 

[BScCollateral]

I personally doubt that "Simba Lion" has the forethought to commit suicide by cop. He's probably too disabled for that.

 

[Twinkie]

All I'm saying is that if a suicidal person has a loaded gun, the odds of them committing suicide by cops are miniscule vs them just shooting themselves and committing suicide that way.

That is a fact. I don't know why people are sperging ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[billydero]

That jourrnal is actually a cow crossover with Roarey Raccoon!

And Jim Groat as well!

I suspect Groats claims of a local radio show laughing at the whole affair is one of his tall tales, though, which is too bad. While it would be hilarious to actually hear local newscasters laugh at this whole thing, I think most newscasters are way too jaded to even bat an eyelash at this.

That, and Groat is a huge liar, so, yeah.

 

[Pointless Pedant]

Trying to apply any kind of rational logic to a guy who named himself after a cartoon character is pointless.

 

[Jarolleon]

Same here. You don't expect a white guy to fetishise lions the way black men do. I've never managed to figure out this view of lions as some sort of noble creature considering male lions are lazy, make the females do all the hunting, kills cubs to bring females into heat...

Okay, never mind, I completely get why black men romanticize them. They're the niggers of the animal kingdom.

Edit: This comment sure did trigger a lot of faggots dinnit?

They were frequently used national symbols in northern Europe, Britain being the most famous example. Though I doubt medieval Englishmen knew much about how they behaved in the wild.
