I Have Asked Skinner to Lock This Thread as "Off-Topic"

QUOTING OP...

QUOTE"Because, due to trollish behavior, it really has become off-topic. (You'll note that at least two of those accounts have been banned.) And one of the biggest mistakes President Obama has ever made, not that there have been a lot, was giving in to Ubertroll Donnie and releasing his long-form birth certificate, which then only led to further demands by Trump. So, if you're looking for documentation, no doubt followed by fingerprints, blood samples, semen samples, etc., you're shit outta luck. I stand by every statement I have made in this thread, and wish to thank everyone here who has supported me, and who actually don't believe that this website should emulate the NSA.


PS: If the thread remains unlocked tomorrow, I shall delete it myself.


In 1988, I killed a man of color in the process of enforcing American law. An ensign in the Coast Guard, we were doing drug interdiction mostly. Some of the smugglers would runs, but, once we had them cornered, once they saw that our guns were drawn, they surrendered. Except for one time.

It was a small boat from Panama. Two men, both Hispanic, on board. We intercepted, they stopped their vessel immediately, but then decided to fight. (To this day, I can't fathom why: The cocaine they were transporting had an '88 street value of less than $60,000: Chump change!)

My CO ordeed myself and another man to "show," which was his code for going to the side of our ship with weapons visible. In this one case, the smugglers opened fire, one man's bullet missing my head by more than a foot, whereupon I shot him twice in the chest. My CO did the same to the other smuggler. They both dies shortly thereafter.

Here's the thing: I felt remorse. I lost sleep for a couple of weeks, even though the brass investigated and, in the parlance of TV cop shows, deemed it "a clean shoot."

Eventually, I expressed this to my CO, whom I knew had killed twice before. To my surprise, he told me that he, too, had felt regret about the actions we had taken that day. He said to me, "Son, you're not SUPPOSED to feel good about it."

And this brings me back to my headline: Darren Wilson has expressed not one iota of sorrow over his killing of a young man who didn't even have a weapon! He says he has slept soundly, no regrets, the whole "if I had to do it again" bullshit.

To me, this is evidence of psycopathy., and I hope Mr. Wilson never again has a job in any sector of law enforcement, though I strongly suspect that such hope will be dashed, if it hasn't already." UNQUOTE
