Maybe, maybe not. I like to think of myself as more of a realist. BTW: Here's another one...

It is time to cut off the food stamps, rent subsidy, and every other form of welfare state.

If a person gets any help at all, they need to show that they are poor and that they are working for the state 25 hours per week. Drug tests are a must, and if you fail them you go behind prison bars.

Oh, I forgot let’s just lynch guys like the baseball bat wonder.

Don’t know what happened to my post, sorta disappeared.
Here’s the jist of it
I have known many Marines on my 20 years of service, many barfights, had my nose broken in Yokuska, broke one or two. I have grabbed a rifle from a Marine during a security alert(Please do not do this, it REALLY hurts) called them grunts, jarheads, and too many too many I can’t post here.
When overseas, if you need help ALWAYS look for the American Flag. Marines are there.
Can I say more?
have fought withe Marines, served with Marines.. Notice that Marines is always Capitalized? There is a reason.

This is the second time I posted this, the First time took over an hour, hard to see the keyboard through the tears.

Second time took a while too
I have never met a Marine that I would not to be proud to call a friend.

I wouldn’t read too much into what I wrote. The Marines of yesteryear were a tough lot, it is true, but tough can only take you so far.

The Marines of today are highly skilled, technically proficient, and very expensive to train. This is why they are discouraged from risks as small as tattoos, because they are too valuable to waste on just being tough.

And while those civilians richly deserve having seven bells kicked out of them, and a group of Marines could no doubt do it, they are worth too much to do it.

Now granted, if you could assemble a platoon of no longer active duty Marines to invite to the party, they would no longer be under the obligation to be fit enough for their specialty. And they would no longer be under the UCMJ, as well.

And the end result would be just as effective as it was in the good old days. Attitudes would be adjusted. Respect would be reestablished. And vengeance would be accomplished. Laudable goals.

The media commits as "bias" crime by not labeling it as a HATE crime.

Oh it is much worse than that: We are not told the race of the "thugs," but are left to make our own inferences.  Why?
