Given the shear monstrosity of the act, the repercussions thereof, and black eye his alleged actions have given military personnel.

I'm not all that inclined to disagree.

It was a monstrous act. He if suffering from a mental illness will be hard pressed to prove and use this as a viable defense in a US Court of Law. Insanity is a difficult defense in the US - Canada is much different on this.

There have been to many of these crimes and all Soldiers are tarred with the same brush.

True, but you know some lawyer will take up the challenged. It's not as if PTSD is without clinically tested and proven diagnosis methods.

The brush being used, wielded by the Usual boobs and suspects.

I don't need to look for an excuse in order to want to see justice for the families of the murdered children. Wanting justice for the victims of murderers is something that's part of our social values. What has stunned me are the many excuses offerred (in the news; that I've posted links for) over the last couple of days to minimize the man's responsibility for his murderous actions.

Have you checked that there are differing versions on the drinking, on the injuries he incurred in Iraq. Does that tell you anything. Well does it?
It means the info has not been confirmed. Do you understand that. Not confirmed. Except in your small & narrow mind.

Again
You Pal Goober:love9:

Not really.

And I need only cite one post, to point out your stupidity...

Unless Goober, whom you quoted, is party to this international event.

Wear your stupidity with pride. You earned it.

That would be your stupidity for not checking the source for the link.

Sure he had a head injury ... he bumped his head on a vehicle when he was getting out of it. I think everyone in the world has that "head injury".

"An official told ABC News that the soldier has suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the past, either from hitting his head on the hatch of a vehicle or in a car accident. He went through the advanced TBI treatment at Fort Lewis and was deemed to be fine."

Bru, she doesn't care about facts.

All she cares about is the peripheral BS that she can wield to smear the US and military.

It makes her feel like she's part of something.

That would be your stupidity for not checking the source for the link.
You just can't stop embarrassing yourself can you.

I quoted your answer to Goobers very specific question.

Again, wear your stupidity with pride. You keep earning it.

Get over yourself. I comment here, I don't inform myself of current events here. Sheesh ... you're having some serious problems with the fact that I researched the topic before commenting on it.

You're one of those chauvenists aren't you ... the kind that think women have no brain and know nothing until some male with a huge ego tells them what to believe.

Yes she is part of something. The rush to judge crowd - But then again she knows all, sees all and the rest of us are FFn dumb.
The way she is getting it on with OB I had the impression that CC was about to have their first nuptials of posters who met on CC.
Now wouldn't that be something.

Coming from you, that's the hight of hypocrisy.

You failed at it then. But that is besides the point, and you obvious limited cognitive skills, makes explaining it, after showing you your errors. Is well beyond a futile effort.

You're one of those chauvenists aren't you ... the kind that think women have no brain and know nothing until some male with a huge ego tells them what to believe.
Nice weak claim.

All the women in my life, and the few I know on line, including SLM, Karrie, Zan, would wholeheartedly disagree with you.

But if it makes swallowing the fact that you have expressed such incredible stupidity here, run with it. It only confirms my observations.

Geezus, you're so daft that you don't/can't, even see that the only area we disagree on, is the crap you make up.

I see that you and your bear are more interested in discussing people that comment here than discussing this international incident.

Lost for words? Nothing to say? Do you find it easier to bully people that disagree with you than to come up with something sensible to say?

No we like facts - take a hint - Goggle - and see the differing versions of the reports - i have read them but you choose to cherry pick what meets your limited and narrow minded viewpoint.

Your Ever Lovin Pal Goober.:love9::love9::love9:

I would love to discuss the incident.

Do you think you can do it without the silly spin you have been doing it with so far?

I mean someone who wasn't completely stupid, wouldn't have to have that said to them.

But here you are.

Once again, you have offered a shining example of your stupidity.

No one really disagrees with you.

We have an issue with the spin you keep putting on the facts.

Chauvenist? Wow, do I hate it when women toss out that one for no valid reason. It demeans actual incidents of chauvinism when you do that and frankly makes all women look small.

He's about the farthest from chauvinist as is possible.

Try re-reading the thread from the beginning to see where folks actually stand on this topic.

There are no excuses. It's as simple as that. If you're reading excuses, you've already dispensed with justice and hung the guy before anyone can take a run through his head to get a clue what happened ... or do you just want a bunch of people snapping for the same unknown reason? Justice goes a LOT deeper than revenge.
