A Sad Reminder of Where We Are Heading

A Marine back from Iraq was shot and eventually died of his wound to his neck in Cleveland Ohio. The culprits were a 19 and 20 yr old males. They shot him after they robbed him of $8 dollars! It is sad when a fine young man can survive a war zone but cant survive his leave in between tours. Sound familiar?

We need to take these two robbers out and put a bullet through their heads. Their behavior clearly shows that they are incapable of acting like reasonable human beings; and as such, are undeserving of anything more merciful than a quick death.

Life has become cheap in America. No death penalty and jail sentences are getting shorter. So if you are unlucky and get murdered, your family will just have to live with it. Times have changed. We now make excuses for murder. Maybe they were drunk, on drugs or taken off the baby bottle too early. A good lawyer will think of something to make the penalty small.Maybe the marine was on their turf and didn't have the money to buy his life. So folks, carry plenty of money with you to make the robbers happy and successful with their robbery. No one likes to fail.Not even the crooks.

that's because in his own country he can't legally be armed on the street as easy as he can in another country

Someone being armed has absolutely nothing to do with this murder. You talk like disarming our people would have kept this from happening.Truth is if someone is robbing you they could care less about a law that says they can't have a gun! It is a proven fact that gun control does little to control criminals. Lets face it these thugs were breaking the law to begin with and there is a way to STOP these actions. A life for a life is a great start. If we as Americans put our foot down and started enforcing the laws we already have then and only then we could regain control of our great country. My heart goes out to the family that has been shattered because of this senseless act. Lets also keep in mind though that a firearm did not kill this hero but the THUG that was holding it is who killed him.

Line them up before a firing squad and make their families watch. All of this bleeding heart bullshit has got to stop. If their lawyers disagree, line them up with them.

Best thing to do with these robbers is put them in a flack jacket and send them over to Iraq, where they can get shot themselves, or deal with the Terrorists on a one on one basis. Then we'll see how macho they really are. Semper Fidelis to the shot Marine!
