NEWS: Asshole Fuckface Roundup #45

Yeah, CAN you kill a dog by blowing it up with some shit you're supposed to get rid of in a safe and responsible manner? Sure! SHOULD you kill said dog? No. Should you laugh at it? Unless you're a complete fucking douchebag whose mother gave birth to a retarded fucking jerkoff with no respect for life or even rudimentary ideas about morality, the answer is NO. Yeah, and the cops may be a paramilitary organization, but respect is earned, and the authority granted them does not also grant any moral ascendancy (obviously) over "us". (The weak, pathetic idiots they're supposed to protect.) They're just men and women, same as you and me. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot about how much force is necessary, proper procedure, blah, blah, blah. Again, CAN you beat the fuck out of three suspects while you're arresting them? Sure. SHOULD you beat the fuck out of said suspects? No. You are not the judge, jury or the executioner in this case. We pay you (that's right, tax dollars pay your salary, PUBLIC servant) to keep people like that from hurting anybody else and to see that justice can properly seen to by other agencies, not to reduce them to a bloody pulp cuz it's right and proper...

You fucking assholes make me sick...

Is it just me or are the videos of soldiers torturing/killing small animals, a sure sign of burdgeoning serial killers, troubling other people?

just curious, how big was the town you were in? it seems like the professionalism of police and how well they treat people tends to be inversely proportionate to the size of the city/town they work in...excluding the above story.

i honestly don't care about the dog, and i don't care that the kid--if he existed--lost his pet. it sucks for him, and i'd be upset if i were that kid, but i'm not that kid and i, personally, find it somewhat backwards and asinine to worry about the dog (or the kid) when there are so many more terrible things happening everywhere in the world.

likewise, i find it somewhat silly to get mad at the troops for laughing at the dog, when there are so many larger questions in relation to such matters as why the troops are there in the first place. furthermore, i feel that it shows a lack of compassion and perspicacity on the part of those getting mad at the soldiers. they're doing jobs which require a callous mindset; they have to be ready to kill people, which means that the well-being of some random dog really can't be allowed to register.

as far as RudieCantFail's point about torturing animals, there's a huge, huge difference between laughing at the Wile E. Coyote-like demise of some random dog, and deriving enjoyment from purposefully and methodically causing pain to an animal you've captured. for one, they involve completely different types of enjoyment--you laugh at a dog getting blown up because it's funny; you torture animals because it satisfies a desire.

Well, there are a series of small to mid sized cities south of Tampa along Florida's West coast. The place I was doing fireworks at was on one of the barrier islands, population probably around 30,000. Population density here is pretty low, but considering it's a string of communities on barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico, I would not classify the area as po-dunk. Go a few miles east of the interstate, and we have a totally different story.

Hey there, Mr. Metal Man... You got a purdy mouth.

FTR never ceases to disgust me. Mission accomplished, sir; Im ready to vomit.

However, I dont fault the soldiers in the video. It was probably a mine they spotted or something, and either set charges, or it just went off. Either way, poor poochie got exploded. I dont know about you, but Im not chasing a stray dog away from a bomb, animal rights be damned.

I apologize for not making my point clear enough. My fault. What I'm getting at is that, how come the four beating "victims" who just shot some people (it seems, for no reason) aren't being labeled as Asshole Fuckfaces? Call me Hammurabi, but I think this time the beating wasn't just justified, it was deserved.

Oh and for the record, I respect police officers. They do a dangerous job for not a lot of pay. (Though it saddens me when I see a cop car parked in a handicap spot)

Despite whatever when wrong, the video was great- much better picture quality- and the new format was fun. I've got to ask- were these guys related to Bush? They have the same ears!!! or is it a Texas thing...
Corrective rape? Who the !@$# came up with that...I'm thinking that won't make men seem a whole lot more appealing to women that prefer women...I thought that country had their act more together now...
"To protect and serve" needs to be changed from the looks of things...the Police in this country are just getting out of hand...it officially has made it from coast to coast now...
Refusing aid when your country has sustained damage like that is pretty dumb...methinks they are concerned about the wrong things...
(off subject question-was any aid offered to the U.S. after Katrina?)

And it's okay for the cops to decide that and administer the punishment? Even the Hammurabi Code contemplated some type of tribunal for that.

Have you seen the damn video? That was just out of hand- the police are supposed to capture and restrain a SUSPECT- not administer a beat down..this isn't JUDGE DREDD- this is America in 2008...

I would call it vigilantism at best and anarchistic at worst.

Eye for an eye and I decide.

And finding either of them as enjoyable or funny is the sign of a fucking sick mind.

i do believe cuba offered and we said no thanks...

here's a link to that story. bush said it had no politics to it then his big fat mouth piece brought them right back in.

You can't tell the difference between a cartoon and a real, living organism?

Yes; quite a lot.

Ick. Seriously.

motorboxfire, I dont think we can be friends anymore.



oh, we werent friends? cool, lets stay that way.

I don't, because it's not.

Sure, if you're a sociopath. There might be "more important things" in the world than the death of one dog, but that doesn't make this any less odious and worthy of disdain. Personally, I find that I can care about more than one issue at a time, and just because this bothers me doesn't mean I care any less about any larger-scale problems in the world. Anyone who possesses such a callous disregard for another living being is no one I respect.

yes, that's quite true. in the case of the soldiers, however, much of that sickness can likely be attributed to external factors drawn from a list that includes the following: shooting people, being shot at, watching friends get blown up, almost getting blown up oneself, spouse/family issues brought on by being gone for a year or more, and too many MREs.

"support the troops" means more than just saying "i support the troops". it doesn't mean you should approve of their actions when they laugh at an exploding dog (for instance), but it does mean that your response should be a little more deeper and thoughtful than "OMG U SOLDIERS R SICK FUCKS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU". show some compassion for guys who are in such a terrible place that an exploding dog seems funny by comparison.

I wasn't talking about the soldiers.
