Do you remember sitting underneath the stars digging through another messed up meal, talking to your buddies about how you're so skilled in tactics that in the lousy economy you should get together and form up a team to take down drug dealers? Its bootcamp bullshit that is best forgotten. I never heard of anyone actually trying it. Till now. via Marine Corps times.
I'd love to hear the particulars of this incident.
The old saying is true both in and out of uniform. Don't hang around stupid people doing stupid things.
BEAUFORT, S.C. — Authorities have charged two Parris Island Marines in connection with an attempted armed robbery which left another Marine dead.Amazing.
The Beaufort Gazette reports Beaufort police say 18-year-old Pfc. Sierra Danielle Powers and 20-year-old Pfc. Brandi Toniqua Hardy are charged with criminal conspiracy for their roles in the attempted robbery during a drug deal last Friday. Both are in jail pending bond hearings.
Deputy Chief Dale McDorman wouldn’t specify how Powers and Hardy were involved.
McDorman said two Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort privates arranged to purchase marijuana from another man. According to McDorman, it was during that deal that the Marines pulled fake pistols and tried to rob the man, who pulled a real gun and shot and killed 20-year-old Pfc. Jerrit Timberson of Fairview Heights, Ill.

ReplyDeleteRangers attempting to rip off drug dealers.
wow. just plain wow. thanks for the link.
DeleteWhy did they use fake pistols? They would have been better off with asps...
ReplyDeletethey would have been better off asking themselves why they would attack a known criminal with fake guns, questioned their sanity and then wonder aloud how the Marine Corps actually allowed such mentally deficient idiots into its ranks....but i do get your point!
DeleteOdd...
ReplyDelete20 marines with assault rifles, grenade launchers and light anti armour weapons ripping of drug dealers makes a certain amount of sense.
Thats essentially what Los Zetas were.
2 marines with fake pistols is just bonkers.
i keep thinking about this and remember the indoctrination/proganda machine of the Marine Corps. it was extremely fierce back in the day and i remember thinking that i could run through steel walls and destroy tanks with one blow of my mighty fists.
Deletelooks like they've perfected that indoctrination since my time.
scary.
where once we bullshitted about doing outrageous shit, now the weak minded are actually attempting it.
amazing.
If I understand correctly, those were two female marines ?
ReplyDeleteSIERRA POWERS was also 14 when she got arrested years ago.. she got arrested because her MOMMY DIANE POWERS was drunk and shot herself in the shoulder THEN mommy called the cops claiming sierra did it.. see http://www.triplicate.com/News/Local-News/Mom-gets-probation-in-shooting
