Private Pool to children of color: White kids only

W.S. did not go into too much detail in his first retelling of the event. He can be penalised. [rules set by the Pentagon on publicising these type of situations.]

Whatever you may like to believe there is vigilante justice in the army and the fear of "unfortunate accidents" can put candidates for vigilante justice in fear of their lives

Wildshadow says he beat them up just short of serious injury.

There are soldiers as seen from msnbc who will kill to avoid the consequences for their actions.

Given the brutality of vigilante justice the people punched by W.S. were entitled to feel fear at the outcome of said 'justice'

From rules laid down by the top brass W.S. couldn't tell his superiors
His superiors couldn't listen or act without severe penalties

Without a report they turned a blind eye to W.S.'s extra curricular activities whilst stonewalling and browbeating the suspects to protect W.S.

It sounds as though W.S.s sgt major and superiors were good men/women but clearly they couldn't get involved personally because of regulations.

Almost every last bit of that is complete rubbish. That is not how it works. This is border-line fanciful mafia bullshit. You're dramatizing and trying to add a degree of mystery to the USMC. Sure, ass kickings happen and often. But rape is ridiculously serious inside the USMC. Those "three" guys are lucky the sgtmaj didn't kick their ass, personally. (Yes, that's exaggerating.) If there was an alleged rape, and then ass kicking's surrounding the ordeal, it would border on disorder among the marines..especially if a civilian was involved in the mess. That whole thing would have been serious business. There is hella increased efforts to quickly "handle" these issues. They don't want this to end up being found out by the civilians.....aka....the media.

Now, if this was more than a decade ago, then, I would have to eat my words. However, I don't think W.S. is that old.

same story referenced briefly in an effort to remain on topic then explained to greater detail in subsequent posts

1. A guy shoots another guy on the street corner talking on the phone.
2. A police officer chasing down a child molester sees the molester talking on the phone at 5th and Main trying to sell a kid that he kidnapped and shoots him in the leg and puts him under arrest.

Now do these sound like the same story to you???

First story leads to many assumptions based on the little information provided, second story is more complete and leaves little room for misinterpretation. I could tell the same story by your logic with two words "A guy". Same story just shortened for simplicity sake. 😖

1 word: gunshot.

They might "change the complexion" of the club. Seriously messed up.

😂 Though I guess 60 getting into the pool at once might have been a safety issue.

This is true. I never thought about it that way. Unless the pool is huge, that's way too many people at once...but refunding the money was a bad choice. They could have said, there's too many people here, already. Come back in an hour or so and we'll ask this group to cut their time a little shorter to give you guys more time."

I like how no one is still bitching about the Boy Scouts anymore but this little pool is getting attacked. 😖
