Whatever happened to this @sshole?

[SexyJessi257]

omg that is horrible. i had never even heard about this. poor doggy u can hear him squeal right before he gets thrown. somebody should grab that man by his b@lls and do the same to him. except throw him off a plane with no chute.

He is a disgrace to the uniform that he wears (and to mankind). The Marines should throw his *ss out and jail him. sicko.

i know! my bf came across this on the internet, and showed me. i immediately regretted watching it because now it's ingrained in my brain.

being kicked out of the military isn't punishment enough if you ask me. he can hurt puppies (and any other animals) as a civilian too, ya know??

omggggg i just saw this & let me tell u i agree with every1 he should be thrown off a cliff how dare he who does he think he is harming an innocent animal...i mean omg that just ruined my day i cant even imagine...and of course no punishment whats that about!!

[mainegirl]

I never watched it..couldn't. I say send him to the next YT Meet Up and let all the YT ladies take care of him

just wanted to let you know that USA Today published an article on June 12 stating that the marine who actually did the throwing received "non-judicial punishment" and is being pushed out of the service. i think the other two marines involved also received non-judicial punishment, but aren't getting kicked out. i'm not positive about that though.

With non-judicial punishment, the maximum permissible punishments depends on the rank of the accused and that of the officer conducting the hearing. Permissible punishments for officers can include forfeiture of pay (up to ½ of one month's pay per month for two months), restriction to base or to the ship (up to 60 days), arrest in quarters (up to 30 days), and a reprimand.

i don't think it sounds like "non-judicial punishment" is enough for what that guy did. i think it was criminal, but apparently receipt of non-judicial punishment does not constitute a criminal conviction. so, no jail time or anything like that.

here's a link to an article published on June 13 that states the video was in fact real, and the puppy was alive and not a doll/puppet. the link might say "server too busy" but it still goes to the article.Server too busy!

here's a link to the article i mentioned from June 12 as well. Update: Marines punished for video that shows puppy being tossed off cliff - On Deadline - USATODAY.com

the image of the video still plagues my mind, and i sometimes think about it randomly and get sad. i don't understand how people can have a total disregard for life (human or animal).

I read the update, too. Seems as though he has been kicked out of the Marines.

I agree with you there. I think that he should be brought before 12 jurors, all from Yorkie Talk, and let us decide what should become of this man.

[Yorkieforme]

This is so upsetting...and I didn't even watch the video...no need when I already know the outcome....
The person is a disgrace to his country and should be stripped of his uniform!

[sAnDyiSm]

poor puppy.. how could anyone do such a thing while SMILING..

his punishment was not harsh enough..

[alisonJ]

I couldn't watch the video.

The Marines made a statement that this is not the sort of person they want--they kicked him out. I don't know if there are any other repercussions. I hope so, but I kind of doubt it.

I hope he is miserable for the rest of his life.

[grandmatoall]

That is just plain cruel. Why would someone do something so horrible? Toss him off the cliff! No that is not punishment enough. He will pay in time. That just makes me sick!

[melmel84]

Seriously what is wrong with people?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!/! I can't stand it! Why would someone do that?!?!? OMG! I watched it against my better judgement and I wish I hadn't!

I hope that wasn't real! Poor baby!
