Poll question: Warning: Disturbing Video. This video shows U.S. Marines...
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 01:03 AM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...shooting and killing what looks to be a wounded Iraqi who does not appear to pose any immediate threat, along with some commentary by one U.S. Marine after the shooting. I found it disturbing, you may not wish to view it. If you choose to, my poll question is: Which do you think best describes this shooting?

1. Reaction is terrible, but the killing is out of context...
Impossible to tell what happened before they took the final shots. Can't tell if he's armed or not. It's the reaction, the cheering, that bugs me. But hey, what do you expect? Marines arent trained to police. They are trained to kill.
