More liberal insanity.
Eight US soldiers were charged with negligent homicide after a fellow soldier shot himself. A community activist said Danny Chen was bullied, dragged across a floor and called “Jackie Chan” by the soldiers. It was so humiliating he shot himself in the head. Now the soldiers must pay.
The AP reported:
Eight U.S. soldiers have been charged in the death of a fellow GI, a Chinese-American who apparently shot himself in Afghanistan after being subjected to what a community activist said were assaults and ethnic taunts from his comrades.
Pvt. Danny Chen, a 19-year-old from New York’s Chinatown neighborhood, was found in a guard tower in Kandahar province Oct. 3 with what the Army said appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In a statement, the Army said Wednesday that eight soldiers in his company were charged with crimes ranging from dereliction of duty to negligent homicide and manslaughter.
Military officials gave no details on exactly what role the soldiers are alleged to have played in Chen’s death. But a community activist raised the possibility that their bullying drove him to suicide.
Chen’s fellow soldiers dragged him across the floor, threw stones at the back of his head, forced him to hold liquid in his mouth while upside down as part of an apparent hazing, and called him “Jackie Chen” in a mocking accent in a reference to the action star Jackie Chan, according to Elizabeth OuYang, president of the New York chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans.
This is absolutely insane. So now the left is going to start prosecuting people after suicides? Really?
