As with most organizations and religions, they become home to fanaticals and "Broken Units."

Did I call that or what?

I remember while in boot camp, I had this nut job in my platoon from Montana...who said" I only joined the military so I can kill people legally" did he represent the rest of the sane enlistees? No!

Talking about lower common denominator!
I remember when I was in the army, I use to get upset that
some of my superiors were borderline illiterate.... just one of those things.
I cannot recall a guy who was willing to kill others legally,
I remember some thugs that were always making trouble...

Sadly there have been several reports about how the military has had to lower its standards and increase the max age in order to meet their recruitment goals. While the vast majority of people going into the military are great folks, they are attracting an increasing number of bad apples.

This guy is an idiot and has no business wearing the uniform of our Marine Corp. I hope they throw him out.

For those of you asking yourself "How could this happen on a heavily armed Military base?"

Well... here is your answer:

Here is a quick summary:

Among President Clinton's first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.

If he gets the Death Penelty under a Military tribunal he will be executed via firing squad. Hope they take a few rounds before they kill this POS.

That was a mass murder, not a spree. A spree killer would be someone like the DC Sniper.. Come on now, be politically correct...

Unfortunately there will be a lawyer out there that will defend this guy and plea insanity... the worst is, he may get it, the media is already spreading the word that he was teased, verbally abused, etc...

Of course he's going to have a lawyer to defend him, that's one of the basic rights in any nation governed by laws; if we take that right away from him, we forfeit our own right to be legally defended at the same time. Besides, a history of being teased or verbally abused on its own is never going to be considered to be sufficent evidence to support a judgement of insanity.

...life in jail is what I foresee for him.

Works for me, as I'd rather see him pace back and forth in captivity for another 30 years before natural causes finally take him out of his misery. The alternative is to grant him his wish of martrdom by executing him and sending him off to his 72 virgins or whatever fantasyland scenario his religion of choice has promised him.

In short, you can't punish somebody by giving them exactly what they want.

All I can tell you guys is comprehend what you hear or see on the news with a grain of salt.. One of my criminal law teachers is a retired TX DPS profiler asked to look at this case and he says it bothers the hell out of him everytime he reads the news about whats going on. Alot of these network "analysts" are pulling stuff out of their ass to keep everyone glued to their broadcast..
