That just sickens me. How can someone be so damn heartless but yet be there fighting for our country?

There were some local boys in a town nearby the would steal small dogs and kittens and then throw them against trees as the drove down the road at 55 +mph. They were eventually caught and got 3 years in jail! They were lucky I didnt find them first! I would have did a 55 mile an hour road test on THEM.

Sometimes I feel so helpless!...And this is one of those times. I wish i could have those guys in my clutches for just a few minutes! I won't watch the video and up until today managed not to see the still shot.

The best I can do is pray for these guys. Pray that they understand what they have done and what they have become. Maybe someday they will be human as well as humane and do good instead of evil.

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).

Thank You for your info.. I have often wondered..and I did sent him a real nice letter..when his info was posted on AFIF.

you know... there have been psychiatric studies done that say people who have no remorse after hurting/killing a helpless animal have the potential to someday become serial killers. there's something in your brain that tells you it's wrong to hurt/kill a helpless animal or human, and these people lack whatever that neuron may be.

I'm hoping someone threw him off the same cliff.

Big deal. Put his butt on the front line and paint a smile on his face!

navygirl76 · 07-08-2008, 01:00 PM

this is the first time i have heard this. i would say it was real. i cant believe how cavalier he was about this! it makes me really mad.

i served with the Marines, and i can tell you-any of the guys i served with would say his actions dont befit a true Marine, and that he's a disgrace to the uniform. i think he should do time at Levenworth Prison.

roxies_mom · 07-08-2008, 01:13 PM

He's been kicked out of the marines, but it won't tell what his other punishment is because of the privacy act. What an idiot!! How can someone be so cruel and think it's so funny. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the video, it was heartbreaking enough just reading about it.

JacksonsMama · 07-10-2008, 09:07 AM

Not enough. Not nearly enough punishment. This makes me mad all over again. My God. I hope he gets his when he's burning in HELL.

Thank you so much for this update as I often wonder about it.

They should do the same to him.
Cruel so very cruel.

I'm glad he was kicked out of the Marines. I just saw the video and it was heartbreaking yet it stirred up some anger in me. How can people be so cruel?

puppy_Love08 · 07-10-2008, 10:51 AM

I did NOT watch the video. Just seeing the picture and knowing what happened to that poor puppy was enough to make me sick and nauseous - literally! I am having serious problems dealing with the fact that people are so cruel to animals. I agree with what someone else said...HE should be thrown off the cliff.
