everyones thoughts?

[rob]

OMFG, are we gonna rehash this again?

[Adam13]

They guy took 100% responsibility felt undeniable remorse and risked his life fighting a war that has wasted the lives of thousands of young americans and Iraqi's. It doesn't seem like prosecuting him is going to serve any purpose, I don't think it's gonna make the widow feel any better.

[skykilo]

Very good! Six wrongs don't make a left.

So for surviving Iraq, he's a hero...if he would have died, his life would be considered wasted in your opinion?

[Adam13]

Not a hero but he has done a hell of a lot for his country. No, not enough to get away with killing someone but he had no intention of doing so. And the soldiers that die did not live wasted lives but the fact they are dying over there at all right now is a waste, yes.

however, a left often does make six wrongs

remorse? he does not understand the word.

is he also remorseful for the people he killed in iraq.

 

those are crimes . his, is a life of crime. he has no idea.

 

he feels entitled to killing. like many in our society.

 

fry him!

You must know him well???

[ClimbingPanther]

ERIC, don't encourage the random nonsense generator!

[joblo7]

let me get to the point; fuck off!!

[Adam13]

So saying that he feels entitled to kill and they should fry him was what, your prologue???

[ericb]

let me get to the point; fuck off!!

 

Who???

 

Climbing Panther, Me, or Rodolph?

[ClimbingPanther]

what did I just say, eric?

[G-spotter]

let me get to the point; fuck off!!

 

since when

have

u ever

 

had....

 

a, point?

 

?

 

 

?

[Serenity]

let me get to the point; fuck off!!

 

I notice in your signature block you proclaim yourself a man of few words. Perhaps you could do us all a favor and become a man of even fewer words? Like none, zero, zilch.

[Adam13]

Regardless of your thoughts on the war, or war in general the last thing we need is a few retards calling the troops murderers, good job ass, take it out on the people who put their lives on the line to defend our country!!

[KaskadskyjKozak]

let me get to the point; fuck off!!

 

STFU, you worthless, festering, syphilitic chancre sore.

[billcoe]

I have the feeling some of you folks are about to start lobbing rocks at each other to make your points.

 

The widow spoke to the authorities about the course of action she thought was best. She did this after talking to other family members.

 

It wasn't MY course of action. (I'm a vengeful prick generally)

 

It was not YOUR course of action.

 

But it wasn't our call then was it? Who the hell are any of you to tell her to STFU?

[KaskadskyjKozak]

But it wasn't our call then was it? Who the hell are any of you to tell her to STFU?

 

Huh? I'm telling v7 to stfu, not the widow.

[Winter]

i think the guy's military service is irrelevant - personally i think its up to the family. if they wanted him prosecuted, they should have prosecuted him. if they preferred to go the civil rout and didn't want the criminal justice system involved, then the DA should respect that. but it the family wanted him prosecuted and the DA said "no" b/c he went to Iraq - well that's just plain wrong. they guy committed a crime.

[EWolfe]

I still love the smell of flinted rock in the morning!

[lI1|1!]

now i'll probably never trundle again

"Newell's decision not to prosecute followed a visit with Absolon's widow, Molly. "Molly has suffered the devastating loss of a loving husband and father to her only child. Her primary concern now is healing for herself and her daughter, Avery," Newell said in a press release. "She may pursue a civil case to recover damages that would assist in Avery's support and education.

 

This paragraph in the article seems to indicate the factors involved. Quite honestly, he should be on the hook financially for his actions, and it will be easier for him to make reparations if he's employed [i.e. not in jail, and no criminal record]

[joblo7]

so if a guy drives on the sidewalk and mows someone down ,he can walk if;

 

he kills for a living

and/or the widow is hurt right now.

 

yet a kid smoking a joint is a felon??
