I just want to speak on the 4 men who pleaded guilty today in the brutal murder of my friend and Marine, Zach Gamble

I want to say thanks to the many people who posted responses from the article posted here in May. Let me start by saying that the news outlets post, print and report their spin on a story for ratings. These 4 pieces of trash tried their best to lie their way out and changed their story multiple times. The whole spin that was put on this story is that Zach was telling stories from the war and was asked to leave. The news stated that Zach sent a 3 word text message that was "too explicit to report" and that's what started the altercation. For one thing, even if Zach did write an "explicit" text message (which if you knew what it was youwould think it's ridiculous), it was still no reason for 4 men to BRUTALLY beat him to death. The news also reported that Zach swung on one of the suspects first, which is absolutely untrue. The trash were trying to save their butts. But, some sort of justice was served where all 4 got 20yrs in prison and 10 on probation after. It will never be enough for me or the family and I truly believe in "eye for an eye". Thank you for everyone's support. We all appreciate it more than you know.
