In August of 1999, my partner was shot and killed by a drunk veteran.
I don't suppose there is any bias there then? As there is at least one very public incident of a sheriff who shot a vet who was standing from a prone position on his command.

Veterans are people who took an oath to protect the innocent, to obey the laws of this country and support and defend it. Intentionally going out of one's way to violate the laws which in part guarantee our freedom is a grave disservice to that ideal.
Oh, I see. Perfectly fine when they enrolled into service. Shells of their former selves when the get out. Now their obligation is to shut the hell up and leave society alone. Gotcha.

That he's a veteran doesn't make him a special subset of criminals deserving of the right to break what laws he sees fit.
No one on this thread has made that point, the point is should he be continously accused of being a drug/user dealer and gangster. Good attempt at confusing the issue.

...This is compounded by the fact that he's 4 times been convicted of this.
Lets see... Richard Riordan, former mayor of LA, 3 dui's, is he a gangster, drug dealer? George Bush? Dick Cheney? Lee Baca tried to bribe Sherman Block from running against him... I wonder if there isn't a double standard somewhere?

I see your points, one person here has had personal experience with billigerent drunks, another with a psychotic vet, so as far as your both concerned, lets keep creating prisons, and rehabilitation be thrown aside.

I find your defending your affiliation with law enforcement admirable. I disagree with your positions. I have achieved nothing but a polarization affect on this thread.

I'll continue to support all vets who reach out as i have in the past. you should see some of the pictures of my cousin's friends, 1000 miles stares still, 20 years later. I'll be sure to tell them to stay within the limits of the law as they are not a special subset of anything nor deserving of "extra" rights.
