And now a story to really hack people off!

Once again, proof doing the right thing does not always insure a positive outcome.

“Home From Iraq, Wary Marine Fatally Wounded”

“CLEVELAND, Ohio — On leave from the violence he had survived in the war in Iraq, a young Marine was so wary of crime on the streets of his own home town that he carried only $8 to avoid becoming a robbery target.

Despite his caution, Lance Cpl. Robert Crutchfield, 21, was shot point-black in the neck during a robbery at a bus stop. Feeding and breathing tubes kept him alive 4 1/2 months, until he died of an infection on May 18.”.

I had read the report of this attack in our local rag, the Butler Eagle, in January. The last I had heard he was recovering but was not expected to return to service.

He made all the right choices, had worked hard to have a life. All taken away by a couple of worthless pieces of crap.

Semper Fi, little brother.

h/t AP and Fox.

Saw that horrible article too.  The scum who killed Crutchfield should pay the ultimate price when they are apprehended. Does Ohio have the death penalty?

He survived the war in Iraq, only to come home and get killed by the Democrat “Great Society”.

Where’s the exit strategy and how many more people have to die?

PP, the police have them in custody, their lawyers refused comment.

Lik, not only did he make it out the otherside, he was returning, voluntarily.

2hotel9:  Thanks for the good news! Does Ohio have an active death penalty?

These are the certain people I have mentioned so many times.  They are worthless human beings, pandered to by the SocialDemocrats since 1962.  The great “war on poverty” that taught the US owes them a living, they don’t have to work a day in their life and have a get out of jail free card for anything they do.
Maybe the tide will turn this year if more people’s eyes are opened to the communist, racist Democrat, B. obama

The Fox article quoted the Cuyahoga County prosecutor is reviewing the case in order to request the Death Penalty be applied. I checked the Cleveland rag and found no mention this afternoon.
