Don't believe everything you read on the Internet....

Well that's our bonfire well and truly pissed on

I don't know about that, after all, don't believe everything you read on the internet :wink:

So a bunch of marines beat the living crap out of someone and you all think it's funny?

Detain him yes, of course, but there's a justice system in the USA and plenty of witnesses. He'll be convicted, and having stabbed someone he'll do hard time. Very hard time indeed I suspect.

We call it Street Justice over here. Your going to go into a place, rob it, stab a Marine, and expect to be treated with respect and detained? No way.

Marine's should have beat him to death.

sorry, something didn't seem right so googled it. The 2nd link is an interesting read, not sure I agree with his conculsion about why names were changed but makes you think about if these kind of viral stories have a sub text.

So the 6th amendment doesn't apply then?

At what point does the marines giving a kicking to someone that stabbed one of them (and for all we know having a pop at all of them) stop him having a fair trial? (Once he's recovered of course)

And as we now know, this is a fictitious story anyway.
