PTSD & unnecessary force

Police: 'Marine of the Year' shot at noisy crowd :eek:

If you think you may have some PTSD problems yourself then I advise you to get counseling, take medication, use traditional chinese medicine etc. It's your life - don't blow it. Whether the stress was caused from combat in Iraq, child abuse, rape, whatever. It's your responsibility to take care of yourself - to reach out for help when you need help. It's the strong determined person that does the right thing by asking for help. It's not a sign of weakness.

Responding to provocation with unnecessary force leads to serious criminal charges - attempted murder in this case. Remember what happens to Rambo at the end of First Blood? Jail. If only he could have learned to express his feelings and heal the scars inside all the violence wouldn't have been necessary. Don't follow his example. Yeah I know you liked the movie - but that's no way to act around people.
