myhousekey Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Just makes me sick to my stomach. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/23658/ You Tube Video April 7, 2009 - 1:18 ET CALLER: Hey, Glenn, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to know, Friday you asked us to pray for Marcus and I was just seeing if you had an update today on what's going on with him. GLENN: Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Marcus Luttrell is the lone survivor. He was part of the SEAL team. It was the biggest battle any SEAL in SEAL history. He was the only survivor. He lost his whole team. He was then taken by Al Qaeda and the Taliban and he was tortured beyond your wildest imagination and there they held him for a while. He's been sick. He still hasn't recovered from all of the things that they did to him and so he just has he's always in for his back and surgery and everything else. On Thursday I believe it was, Wednesday or Thursday about 1:00 a.m., Marcus is a guy who doesn't sleep anymore at night. He sleeps during the daytime. And about 1:00 he happened to be awake and he heard a gunshot. He lives on a ranch with his mother in Texas. He grabs his gun and he goes outside. There he sees, I believe it was four. It may be three but I believe it was four young men 18 to 24 years old, all of them, where they had just shot his dog. Marcus' dog is named Dasy. Each letter represents D A S Y represents one of the fallen members of his team. It was given to him in recovery to help him through the recovery process. This dog means everything to Marcus. Marcus had his gun and he took it out and he put it right between the eyes of one of the guys. He was standing away from them, pointed right between the eyes. Now, here's a SEAL team member who is wildly, he's just, he is having trouble, man. He is still recovering from his injuries. He had just gotten out of surgery. He's standing there with a gun between the guy's eyes. He doesn't fire. All four and he's just saying, "You killed my dog." They executed his dog. "You killed my dog. Why would you do that?" They run. They get into his car. Marcus gets into his truck, chases them over four counties, finally runs them into a ditch. He calls the Rangers. The Texas Rangers arrive and these guys, when the Texas Rangers are taking these guys away, Marcus has held them there by a gun. As the Rangers are taking these guys away, they're threatening Marcus' life and saying, "When we get out, we're coming for you next. First it was your dog. It's going to be you next. You don't know who you're messin' with." That's when Marcus kind of snapped just a little bit and said to the Ranger, "Excuse me, ranger, do you know who I am?" He said, "Yes, sir, Mr. Luttrell, I do." He said, "You might want to explain to these punks because I could have killed them 600 different ways and if I wanted to kill you guys after what you would have done what you just did to my dog, I would have pulled you down into my basement and I would have tortured you for days and you wouldn't have died until you begged me for death. So before you start saying you're going to come after me, you better learn who you've just whose dog you just killed." They get into jail. These four punks have been killing dogs in Marcus' county now for a month, for joys, joy rides and kicks. Tonight Marcus is going to be on television and he's going to tell the story, and I'm showing the pictures of these dirtbags. And I want you to call PETA, I want you to call every activist you know. I want you to hear the story of a hero whose dog was executed. In all of the times that everybody is saying, oh, guns gotta be taken off the streets, you gun nuts. Here's a responsible gun owner that with everything he's gone through, everything that that dog means, these dirtbags come and kill his dog. He could have killed them all. He probably would have enjoyed it, justifiably so and he didn't because he's an American hero. Keep him in your prayers.

whomper Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Killing Dogs for kicks. Just sickening. Im glad he showed restraint because it may have caused him more trouble than it was worth but I sure wouldnt have shed a tear if he didnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For all of you non-Texans out there this happened in Huntsville, home of the death chamber. If there was one town in America that you don't want to do this in Huntsville is it. These dudes might seriously get 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Awful story. Not sure i get this sentence though. In all of the times that everybody is saying, oh, guns gotta be taken off the streets, you gun nuts. Didn't those d!ckheads use guns to kill the dogs? Regardless, terrible story and i hope those punks serve a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myhousekey Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 These dudes might seriously get 10 years. Didn't the video say the maximum penalty was only 2 years? I wouldn't have lost any sleep if the cops had just turned the thugs over to Marcus and let him go Jack Bauer on their a$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't those d!ckheads use guns to kill the dogs? Nice try but you should've known you were wasting your time. And frankly highly disappointed by this guy's restraint. He should have done what he said he could've done, or at the very least kicked the living sh** out of every single one and tied them up the woods somewhere and left them to rot. Hell if I was his neighbor and knew about it, I'd happily provide an alibi. ("Huh? He was at my place playing poker, musta been some other loser thugs that attacked them.") I'd also pay serious coin to the officers to unleash some attack dogs on the POSs. End their lives and make the world a better place already. The touchy/feely approach has not exactly worked.

Dr. Sacrebleu Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 There is a special place in hell for those 4 douches. I truly feel for Marcus Letrell. Glenn Beck is a total idiot. Why turn this story into a gun advocacy story? Especially since it's a really really bad example of the repsonsible gun owner defense ("thank god he owned a gun. Imagine what would have happened to him, his wife, and kids had he not had a gun when the rapists broke into his house"). The guy almost murdrered someone for destroying his property, and by his admission the only reason he didn't (twice) was that he couldn't get a clean shot. Don't get me wrong. Would love to see those 4 guys dead. But an American hero's life came one poor sight line away from becoming a terrible tragedy. To uphold this as a story of responsible ownership is stupid. Make this story about an American hero once again kicking ass, or about evil in this world, or about rehab programs for vets. There are a million angles to it. Gun ownership isn't one of them.
