Retired Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell, winner of the Navy Cross for heroism in Afghanistan, says he doesn't sleep well at night.
So when the trained Navy Seal heard a gunshot go off near his ranch in Walker county Texas at 1:30 in the morning, he immediately sprang into action.
After first checking in on his mother, Luttrell made his way out to the tree line of his property. There he saw the headlights of a car with a handful of young men loudly joking, standing outside of it. "I could see my dog lying in the ditch," Luttrell said

Thanks for writing this, Salena.
I didn’t see anyone else in the “MSM” covering this.

I hope the lowlife scum who shot this Hero’s poor defenseless dog burn slowly and agonizingly in Hell.

If I post what I really think I will be banned for life. Since these scum were stopped and arrested (thanks to SEAL Luttrell) I would like their mugs posted everywhere. If anyone finds their mugshots please post them, complete with names.

“Luttrell was taunted and threatened by the men as they were arrested...”
C@@@suckers. I hope they get out on bail and come after Luttrell. They’ll get to meet their maker that day. Excuse my french.

I saw Lutrell on Beck’s show a couple days ago and when he mentioned the murderers taunted him, he said so matter of factly. Man’s best friend in this case is probably an understatement, I hope they find these a**holes and Lutrell gets another dog that he can form a bond with.

Names and nationalities? When neither are posted I suspect that they are being hidden for politically correctness.

His book, though not particularly well written, is a compelling read. If well done, it will make for an intense, gut wrenching, but ultimately hope inspiring movie.
I hope they find a way to make those punks pay.
To: Salena Zito
What a bunch of creeps. They won’t get what they deserve though. At least not in this life.

I hope they meet some dog lover named “Butch” in jail.

Another thread had pictures of two of these punks. I bet they’ll be really popular is prison.

I saw the video as well. The gone was the lone survivor in the bloodiest SEAL firefight ever. These pukes taunting him is a joke. They would be begging for their whore mothers if they had to through that.

I am a law-abiding American. In this case, however, I will make an exception. These dog-killers are sub-humans. I don't want to incarcerate them so that I'll have to pay to feed and care for them; I hope they're found face down and bled-out in a ditch somewhere.

According to the version I heard one of the perps shouted “We know where you live.” Uh huh. You young fellers just go right on over there. If I could sell tickets to that little encounter on FR I’d be a rich man.
To: Salena Zito
Real “tough guys” when they're in police custody.
Right after the dirtbags started taunting him, I would have loved to see the cops say they had another call and were going to let them settle it amongst themselves.
The clowns would be begging for a cell.

US Navy SEAL Luttrell showed admirable restraint and personal self control. I hope these thugs get the book thrown at them, hard, Texas-style.

Story said these punks were threatening to come back when they got out. I think they have no idea of the crapstorm they have gotten themselves into. Not just because of who he is, but also the number of other real bad a$$es that have his back as well. If smart, they will disappear somewhere far away.
