Murder, Murder, Kill, Kill
I fully admit that I’m walkin’, talkin’ ball of contradiction, but please hear me out.
I was watching the news last night and they showed footage of some U.S. marines (America’s finest, yeah, right) standing by a cliff. Anyway, it showed two soldiers; One was all talk, the other was holding a puppy (or small dog) by it’s back with one hand. The dog was just hanging there looking sad (it made me think of that cartoon dog, Droopy).
There was some joking going around, then all of a sudden the man holding the dog pulls his arm back and tosses the dog through the air and over a cliff. You can hear the dog yelping as it hurdles across the sky and down the cliff.
WTF!?!?!
Who the hell does shit like this?
Now, here’s where my contradiction appears. I’m 100% against the death penalty in this country. I don’t believe in that whole “an eye for an eye” theory of punishment. But in this case, I want this man tortured. I want him to suffer excrutiating pain. Waterboard him? Fine by me. Whip? Sure. Cane? Absolutely. And while you’re at it, I wouldn’t mind so much if you accidently cut him a few times with dull knives. Then pour lemon juice on top. OOOOH – how about singeing all of his body hair with flame?
Seriously, I was so disgusted by that video and I’m not even a dog person. Then again, I’m also the guy who hates killing bugs, too. I’m not afraid of them, in fact, I love to watch them do their thing when they’re on a surface near me. They’re so alien. If I find a bug or spider in the house, I’ll bring it outside.
I’m sure this lean, mean, killing-machine of a marine is not the standard marine. But I hope his ass gets caught…
…and then pummelled with the sharp end of a broomstick.

AAAAGH! That man should be buried up to his neck, next to an anthill, and covered in honey.
Sickening, to be sure, but, just to play devil’s advocate: I’ve known a few, a VERY few, dogs [and cats – but with cats it’s just luck of the draw] I’ve been sorely tempted to dropkick over a cliff…or at least have humanely dispatched [I’d never do the former in reality – too cruel and uncertain to boot], and I do really love dogs when they’re big (or little) sweeties – wonderful beasts!, but I also remember the psychotic German Shepherd mix (probably badly abused) that used to terrorize me on my bike when I rode by as a little kid, or the badly-behaved-friend’s satanic little demon-dog, which he took everywhere with him, despite being told and told and told not to, that would look right at one and wipe its butt on the clean rug (again, reflecting its ownership to be sure…he did worse things…). It sounds, however, like this cretinous Marine was just taking some poor sweet little creature and being vile for his own amusement, which is grotesque and I quite agree with you, Karl…or even more with JC…
SO, there’s my controversial post for the day – let the fun begin…
I am of course totally in agreement Karl. I think the difference is that whether it’s animals or children or the ederly – it’s the defenselessness (for all intents & purposes), the innocents that depend on our decency – when that is voilated, all bets are off.
Oh, I found a linke. What do you think? I don’t think it’s fake. http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/throwpuppy.asp
Even if it is a fake, these guys are terribly demented. But I am with snarl…i don’t think it is fake. and Lise, you are right, all bets are off.
