Bump that, jv!
You know, the people I’m really mad at are the ones who hopped up and down when it was revealed that the Pendleton 8 were shackled and treated worse than inmates at Gitmo.
Then it was announced that one of the eight had taken a plea deal. 99% of that support disappeared over night. The likes of Hannity and Michelle Malkin never mentioned the case again.
Well, what did those people expect? What did they think the purpose of shackles and conex boxes were if not to get the weakest link to crack and take a plea so that prosecutors could roll it up from there?
The fickle nature of Pendleton 8 “supporters” was disgusting to witness.
That is proven with so little posts on this thread. It might be because it's "early" in the day.
Very sad but very true my FRiend.
Finally some justice out of the USMC and Pendleton, and a true case when you say Cpl. Thomas was judged by a jury of his peers=combat vets and not some bloated over medaled over the hill Marine Officer. Congrats to Erika!!
Red,
Not sure “what or who” you are referring to when you say “the fickle nature of Pendleton 8 “supporters” was disgusting to witness”, fyi - the die hard supporters are STILL at main Pendleton Gate every Saturday, we are writing the P8 families, sending the guys in the brig money, helping out the families of those P8 who moved to So Cal, and in touch w/so cal media . Just cos folks don’t sit on blogs 24/7 doesn’t mean that they are not supporting the Hamdania and Haditha Marines. As for the big shots like Savage, Hannity et al, what do you expect, they’re mere men and can only do as much as ratings allow.
