There's a guy on Death Row I'm personally acquainted with, when they cap him I get an invite. It takes forever for them to exhaust appeals, however...

Why is that crazy? People don't fly back 100 yards when they get shot like they do in the movies.
Glad to see there are a FEW non-psychopaths here. The point that it was him or some other person does not make it any less of a shame.
The fact that it was necessary for the person on the business end of the RPG to kill does not make it less gruesome.
ATOT is full of bloodthirsty fundamentalist christian(/jewish?) brainwashed psychopaths. I guess it takes someone nonreligious to see how the non-muslim points of view here are nearly as idiotic as the thoughts that are probably going through the heads of fundamentalist non-popular-american-religion terrorists.
edit: I think one of the stolen n0cmonkey quotes in my sig is probably appropriate:

This is precisely the shortsightedness I'm talking about. The USA WAS IN AFGHANISTAN before 9/11. There is a lot of history there. It's not just some "They attacked us first on 9/11 so this is payback" thing. 9/11 was payback to the USA for previous things. It's not so cut and dried.
I seem to realize this a bit better than some on these boards, and I'll still be the first one to admit that I know not 1% of the details of the entire situation. Historians/political scientists who study the middle east all their lives and have doctorate degrees don't even know everything.

You say I don't understand the issue but you don't even know what it is. It is NOT about Iraq. It is NOT about the USA. It is NOT about Al Qaeda. It is NOT about terrorists. It is NOT about who is right and who is wrong for the war going on over there. It isn't even about guy in the video nor the soldiers who I presume shot him. The issue I have been talking about this entire thread is that there are people on the first page who took pleasure in the death of a human being. It doesn't matter who he was.

Well said. I thank the lord that it was not one of our soldiers that died, but at the same time I dispise the death of another human being. Just please remember, be it religion, economics, politics, or social issues, there are moral issues always at hand. Please just see the bigger picture, loss of a human live = bad no matter what. And please, just lay off the religous remarks. It is not fair to criticize the Islamic faith as a whole for the things that are happening to the world. Radicals. Just radicals.

LOL that was hilarious.
I'll say that it IS unfortunate that the guy had to die, but I am "glad" he died since he was about to fire an RPG presumably at American forces, so you can say his death was fortunate for our guys.

Either him or possibly 5 or 6 and maybee a humvee or something. He should have known better than to walk out in the open with an rpg aiming at us forces. Fool.

Good. One fewer useless piece of Islamic filth around to threaten the lives of our soldiers. Good shooting on the part of the soldier who got him.
Nice to show your true colors. Maybe you're the filth around here.
Yes, he's a filth cuz he applauds US military retaliation.
I'm glad one more piece of trash like him got shot in the noggin.
It's him or probably several troops.
Its all in perspective of who believes who the filth are. In the end its just people losing lives, the soldiers, insurgents, civilians...
Then the insurgents shold not be picking up weapons to fire at U.S. troops who liberated them from a madman. Of course the one's shooting at the U.S. troops are the ones who terrorized the population under Saddam and want that lifestyle back.
One less piece of filth I say.
In all fairness, just as we don't appreciate watching American citizens getting their heads hacked off with blunt knives, I'm pretty damn sure Iraqis don't appreciate watching Iraqi citizens getting their brains blown out.
That said, serves the guy right. Next time maybe the soldiers will drop their pants and let him fire the RPG up their asses?
Who knew they had all this pent up rage. Saddam would have killed them all if they showed 1/100th the piss and moaning they do now. That's what freedom gives you after all.

I don't consider a guy with an RPG the equal of an unarmed civilian, but I know what you're saying. Where was this video from, as it looked to be from an Arab station from the audio? Al hezer or whatever their name is puts these videos out there. They're adding fuel to the situation.
Saddam did kill many of them, both shites and kurds. Twenty years ago Iraq was the most secular nation in the region. Saddam went through the same thing as Castro, Hoe Chi Mein, and Mao, not to mention most dictators back to the time of Napolean.(a heroic figure gone mad) If Saddam would have kept his ego in check none of this would be happening and we'd be focused on bigger fish, like NK and the motherload: Iran.
Why is death such a bad thing? It's gonna happen to all of us, just some before others. If you cannot have the liberty needed to have a life worth living, death becomes pretty attractive. Just today on the history channel they were talking to a bunch of vetreans from Wake Island in WWII. The words they used really stuck. They were scared to death yet fought with tremedous bravery. They didn't want to die, but they believed that by their fighting they could protect their lives and liberty. Death is way down on my list of bad things, with protection of liberty to truely live a life at the top. In this case, for whatever reason, this idiot tried to take away the life of a soldier protecting my life and protecting liberty for both of us. I could care less what happened to him.
