I served enough, but should have done more. my prestige, honor, and esprit de corps was my own, and mine to deal with.

I will try to be a better man than I was yesterday, mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight, with my best attempt to display the intestinal fortitude required.

ive got some personal conflicts with regard to my service, i dont speak openly about it, if you get it, then you get it

shit gets to me sometimes, some people just have no idea.

Indeed.

People have not a fucking inkling.

But that's just me. I'll be first in line to grab a gun and go out ready to potentially die if a violent mob is marching down my block. And I'll be first in line to go out with a gun and potentially die in an attempt to restore order with other vigilantes if all hell has broken loose and anarchy reigns

The problem with vigilantes is that they arent beholden to the same constitutional standards as law enforcement. Its not implausible to see a situation where those with guns attempt to enforce their own extra-judicial judgement on others. No due process. (Some people on this forum seem to cheerlead this by the way).


We are in dangerous territory in this country...

Bet if I was smacking someone in the head with a skateboard I’d get attempted murder. Recently watched the trial ..."Someone was trying to beat your head in with a skateboard, and you deliberately shot him for doing so, correct?" ....I am terrified

We are in a dangerous territory because both parties and local governments are failing.

Not because of the vigilantes neccissarily.

They are just people.

And there are vigilantes on both sides. That riot was full of 'vigilante social justice'. That dumb idiot with the scateboard - vigilante to some, rioter to others.

So ya, we are in dangerous waters, no shit sherlock.

Are you asking someone to teach you what it means by though shalt not kill?

Basically it means not to murder. Similar to our existing definition.

No. That is silly.

Why don't people engaging in violence understand that their lives are forfeit to the victors? Why do people think wrongly that they should be protected and safe while being violent aggressive assholes?

Perhaps I will never understand. No one has a right to be both violent and alive. Physics doesn't work this way no matter how many ways we write stuff on paper and think we are right. No matter who we tithe to or bribe. Who we are subservient to.. No matter who we rely on to protect us. Or what we believe.

It's absolutely foolish.

It's very strange to me how poorly people misunderstand violence.
