    OK which of you is Johnny on the Spot with the wikipedia updates lol?

    In 2016, O’Neill was charged in Montana with driving under the influence; prosecutors dropped the charges. On 23 August 2023, he was arrested in Frisco, Texas, on “a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication.” He was booked into the Collin County jail, and released on a bond of $3,500.[28] In 4 November 2024, O’Neill threatened a group of young Gen-Z males that he would turn them into his “concubines” if there was no social media due to the group’s support for Kamala Harris during the 2024 US Presidential Elections. O’Neill openly supports Donald Trump.[29][30]

      90 seconds ago I had never heard of this man, now I discover that he’s notable enough that he has a Wikipedia page.

          Oh, the unprofessional dickhead who, just for shits and giggles and in hopes of selling his story for money later, desecrated the corpse by shooting the head until it was unrecognizable, deliberately failing the mission goal of body ID and verification of Bin Laden’s death, and thereby allowing the growth of any number of conspiracy theories.

          Good going, shitbag.

          I’m not a NAVY SEAL/have military experience, but my understanding is that was team project, and claiming sole credit is a bit disrespectful.

            Just for fairness, I may have overstated his claim in my paraphrasing.

            Though, in grabbing the quote below for this very comment from his wikipedia page, I think if anything I made it sound less douchebaggy than it actually was.

            In an anonymous February 2013 interview, O’Neill told Esquire that he had killed Osama bin Laden during Operation Neptune Spear in May 2011. In late 2014, in the run-up to credited Fox News[7] and The Washington Post stories on the same topic, O’Neill’s name was leaked by other former special forces personnel who were protesting his violation of “a code of silence that forbids them from publicly taking credit for their actions.” O’Neill claimed that he and another unnamed member of SEAL Team Six cornered bin Laden, and that after the other SEAL fired and missed, O’Neill killed the terrorist leader with shots to the head.[12]

        as much as I hate trumpoids, warrents are required for good reason and shouldn’t be given out to everyone you don’t like (that’s how we get facism)
