Ex marine who sprung into action by neutralizing an aggressive head case is now being vilified by leftist media as a murderer. From hero to villain with biased reporting.
IBRYeah. He’s a murderer. Nobody has the right to choke someone out until they die.

Ok, Duck Norris.You don't keep a choke hold on someone for minutes.
You feel them go limp/unconscious and then you break the fucking hold.
Ok, Duck Norris.

Murder is a specific crime that is not simply homicide;Yeah. He’s a murderer. Nobody has the right to choke someone out until they die.
Did Mr. Jarhead wake up that morning wake up and say “hey, think I’ll kill a that guy on the subway today”?Murder is a specific crime that is not simply homicide;
It requires malicious intent and, for first degree in most states in the USA, something like “malice aforethought,”
neither of which i think are clearly demonstrated by what we’ve seen so far in this case
For what it’s worth, all the coverage from legitimate news organizations that i’ve seen has been far from judgmental of the Marine
It’s pretty clear from surrounding context that the deceased had a history of impulsive and aggressive behavior including assault,
and I haven’t seen any serious commentator rule out the possibility (one may say likelihood) that the Marine acted in self or common defense
One thing this case does demonstrate,
is what i think is an undesirable effect of MMA mainstreaming the idea of choke holds — when used incorrectly as restraints and / or by those not specifically trained in using them for neutralization, they can and often do result in unintended permanent damage or death
you clearly have never been down a NYC subway lately. have we.Yeah. He’s a murderer. Nobody has the right to choke someone out until they die.
hes a hero in my book. better off he goes down then he takes down a dozen others
spoke a Def. Attny last night at the cigar bar.
told me hes getting at least a manslaughter charge
said something about the law where once the threat is diminished you have to reduce your force accordingly

? ? ? ?I really doubt that reasoning would hold up in court. If the prosecution uses that reasoning, i’ll buy you an apple juiceDid Mr. Jarhead wake up that morning wake up and say “hey, think I’ll kill a that guy on the subway today”?
I doubt it.
But he decided he wasn’t going to let go once the person he had in a chokehold went limp. There’s your intent. He’s a vigilante. And if it’s ok for him to be a vigilante, it’s ok for someone to go vigilante on his ass down the road.
hes a hero in my book.
BetterOk, Cuck Norris.

Side note Re: the hold in question :He was a hero right up to the point the guy was unconscious.
The manslaughter came from not letting go.
Ever been choked out? It fucking sucks but you go all black really fast.
Those MMA holds aren't so much about cutting off air to the lungs, it's stopping blood from getting to the brain.
Choke a person with both hands around their windpipe and it could take minutes to kill them.
Solid choke hold on the carotid artery? You'd be lucky to last 10-15 seconds.
Either way, you're pretty limp and harmless once your brain goes black.
Dude HAD to let go at that point.
