Daniel... Daniel Penny...

King of the Lawless Frontier!

Daniel... Daniel Penny, queen of the Marines who Fear!

I say, issue all the guys leaving the military a pump can of mace to keep in their purse.  If they get afraid, and need to subdue Others, and don't know until somebody comes and tells them:  "Hey, your dude's shitting himself.  Time to ease up, soldier boy!"... then pull the mace out of your purse and spray it, boys.

A short term in the military doesn't give you the right to enforce the law, try others or kill them.  Even if you are really really really afraid, dude.  

Don't put your hands on others.  Don't try to "help" other people or other countries by introducing a higher degree of violence onto others who have not harmed you because you think you'll score points being a big guy and "helping"...

You killed someone, Daniel.  You took a life.  A little bit of your soul died the day you choked the life out of another being.  If you're lucky, you're aware of this... it sits with you.  If you're lucky, you're waking up at night replaying what you've done and wondering what you would do, if you had that day to do again...

If you're lucky, you have a conscience, Daniel.  You know you didn't have to kill that man now -- he was unarmed, smaller than you, and was not resisting or putting you in any danger in the minutes of video we all saw...

You're not stupid nothing like Kyle Rittenhouse looking for adventure who doesn't understand that he didn't have to become a killer...  Don't let your "supporters" convince you that you did good that day.  Don't let them tell you you saved a 7-year-old from being kidnapped that day.  You didn't.  Nor did you offer justice for the old lady who allegedly got punched in the face...

Nobody was punched in the face that day, Daniel.  You chose to put your hands on another man and restrain him, rather than contain him until "Help" arrived.  You killed a man out of fear, and because you did not learn any less deadly skills.

(Don't they teach these guys a trade in the military anymore?  Plumbing, electrical, mechanics?  You almost wish a judge could sentence Penny to military service to "find himself" and learn basic discipline and self control.  Sadly, this is what 4 years of taxpayer-paid trade-training returns to society these days... a little guy with deadly skills who thinks he's above the law, making decisions on who gets to live or die.)

Guys in the military aren't the brightest bulbs. That's why they enlisted.  They get "trained" and rely on others telling them what to do and how to think.  They're not leaders.  And killing others costs you.  If not days of your life, then the life of your soul.

Wait and see all those applauding Jordan Neely's killing:  how they are squeezing the life out of themselves too in their remaining days on earth... Ah well.  Reproduce and die, I guess they leave the living up to those of us who consciously choose to be alive and to live freely and without fear or the false protection of men who use guns and deadly holds to force their ways on the world...

"They'll take your soul if you let them... Don't you let them!"

 (Maybe there is progress in society:  the New Yorker who killed Jordan Neely didn't stuff his body in a duffel bag and leave him under a  bridge to be found at least... That's something, progress, eh New York?  That's caring for your neighbor, in a kinda Christian baby-step way, isn't it? /s)
