TBH I did not know he was a Blackwater mercenary. News keeps calling him a Marine, which I don’t think is the same thing.
That would have been a dealbreaker for me, but then I’m not a Mainer and did not do much diligent research about him.
ETA Ten years ago, I wrote a blogpiece discussing the Are We The Baddies skit by Mitchell & Webb, observing Skulls in military symbolism are actually not particularly odd, as indicators of toughness and ferocity… Skulls were a tradition of mobile units, first cavalry and later mechanized and air units as a symbol of their ferocity.
So when Platner allegedly had buyers remorse regarding a tat that he got in the service when he was a front-line rifleman, I could sympathize. I am lucky that the stupid things I did as a youth left no permanent record. (The internet never forgets, and I have plenty of bad takes still buried out there from my adult years.)
Plus he has a cool ass name. It would be awesome to see him sitting next to all those pedophiles congress. Lmao. Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run , run

Okay but consider his pattern of violently impulsive bad behavior.
Violent. Impulsive. Electing him would put him in a room full of congressmen.
That’s a great point. I’m thinking about nominating this guy
I’m registering to vote and writing him in for congress.

Don’t even care about the name.seems kinda faschy. I just want him in that room, being himself.do we have an inmate number?
He’s killed six rapists and pedophiles he’s based AF. It’s a name to remember
Again, do we have an inmate number I can put next to his name, so it doesn’t seem like I’m voting for a dead roman guy?
