RIP
quote:A U.S. Marine stationed in Washington, D.C., died on duty Tuesday from a gunshot wound.
The Metropolitan Police Department responded to the scene at the Marine Barracks early in the morning. The Corps did not provide the name of the victim, or provide additional information about how he died, since the incident is still being investigated.
The service said there's no threat to residents near the Barracks, which is located in Southeast D.C. and is the Corps' oldest active post.
"The command's priorities are to take care of the Marine's family and friends," said Col. Don Tomich, commanding officer of Marine Barracks. "We want to ensure these personnel are being provided for during this challenging time."

Would you rather it be a homicide committed by a fellow marine? Marines and former marines, men of all stripes of proven sand commit suicide everyday. It may have nothing to do with cowardice.0 -

Could it have been a Negligent discharge?

And like mine here, your opinion about someones choice of suicide means so very much. [;)]
Your Liberal opinions mean less and less to me every time you post.
You act like an ANTIFA member. Constant Anarchy.0 -
Latest I heard, it was an NG by another person.
I don't think that the military does as good a job of teaching safety as they should. I've been in a couple of police stations where I've seen a barrel into which they hold their handgun when racking the slide; does the military have that kind of thing?
Just a sad waste of a good man's life.

Really guys????
This thread is supposed to show respect for somebody that has passed on. It doesn't matter how he passed on whether you had a heart attack committed suicide or was killed... Let's show a LITTLE respect by not showing our asses making this political thread.
I think we could all agree that no matter what our political convictions are that it's a tragedy when somebody is in that much a pain, whether physical or mental, they feel they have to commits suicide...
So I understand what whiplash is saying, I too hope it wasn't suicide. Maybe the insensitive, moronic trolls here might be able to comprehend why decent people would hope it wasn't suicide when it's spelled out to them. But I doubt they possess the intelligence to comprehend it.0
