Marinna Rollins; dog killer offs herself

| May 8, 2017

Late last month, we wrote about Marinna Rollins who was accused of torturing a dog before killing it. Fox News reports that her body was found by friends and reported to Fayetteville police;

Fayetteville Police Lt. Todd Joyce said Sunday investigators believe that 23-year-old Marinna Rollins killed herself. Joyce declined to explain what evidence detectives found. He says police were called to her apartment early Sunday after her body was found by friends.

Unsurprisingly, it appears that she took the coward’s way out of her problems.

Good,
Problem solved, hopefully the piece of shit boyfriend decides to do the same.

This is not right!! She should have tied her boyfriend to a tree and shot him, then hung herself from the same tree and LEFT THE DOG ALONE!!

peg

im with you on that

peg

she originally sent this video to her sister”hey sis look at this”!! she obviously wanted to piss the sister off too

Cowpill

Out-fucking-standing!

The sister is the one who turned her in

Ex-PH2

Per the previous article about her and her boyfriend, she was mentally unstable. This doesn’t come as a surprise.

Graybeard

I find it very, very sad.

That she had depression and other issues is quite evident. I wish she had found the help she needed rather than this tragic end to her life.

Instinct

Agreed, but at the same time I would say she crossed the line with me when she killed the dog and laughed about it.

Once you’ve show that level of disregard for life, especially the life of an animal that trusted and loved you, I’m pretty much done with you.

Graybeard

The mental illnesses she suffered from explain that behavior.

I agree it was wrong of her – but that behavior is symptomatic of her illness. Unfortunately.

It also makes one wonder if the ancients’ belief in demonic possession doesn’t have some grain of truth in it.

The Other Whitey

That would explain quite a bit, actually, and would be pretty much the only way I’d feel in any way sorry for her. If so, that sucks.

Otherwise, at best she could be likened to a rabid dog, and even that would be a stretch. Her shitwad boyfriend who looks like he’s also her brother should be next. What’s his excuse?

Eden

I’m not so sure. It was her estranged husband’s dog she tortured and killed. He had left the dog with her temporarily because he had been sent overseas and had run out of other options, thinking that perhaps the dog would be good for her, as well. When he came back to claim his dog, she did this to spite him.

Ret_25X

I agree Graybeard,

This is a person truly dealing with some form of inner demons who either was not or could not be helped.

Killing the dog, while horrible, was not the act of a rational person, but the act of a depraved mind no longer in control.

This outcome is not a victory against animal cruelty and certainly a great loss for her family.

We can certainly be human enough to have some level of sympathy for a very damaged person who chose a permanent solution to a temporary problem because she had no capacity to deal with reality.

I separate the behavior from the person in this case.

USMC Steve

To a certain degree I agree with you, but I am still good with it. If she was that level of batshit crazy, it was only a matter of time before she did this to a human.

Just another sad example of the reality of mental illness.

The only truly sad part about that formula is the order of operations.

Best comment ever 😂

She obviously had a mental issue. That is unfortunate she did not seek help.

Commissar

She did. From the VA. They are hit and miss at being effective. Provider roulette.

IDC SARC

That’s grossly unfair unless you actually have information about this person’s case.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Lars knows everything… just ask him.

USMC Steve

Not defending him, but in my limited experience with the VA, they are useless in almost all manner of things. I am going to cut Lars some slack on this one.

IDC SARC

Can you be more ambiguous?
Who is they and what did they fail to do?

You can’t be more specific than saying generally useless in all things? You’re defending ambiguity with innuendo.

CB Senior

Wow there’s whole lot of good ole Christian love for a mentally hurt individual around here.

Count yourself lucky that you nor a loved one has suffers from those problems.

Graybeard

I agree, CB Senior.

She needed a lot of help. She did not get it. This is a tragedy.

Fwc

I love you so much.

Usafvet509

Well, then, CB, we’ll remember that the next one that comes around. Shall we send him/her/it to your house for care and feeding? None of the rest of us feel like springing for housing and care, trial, etc. for someone that can do this to an innocent

Graybeard

Usafvet509:

What part of mental illness do you not understand?

None of us is defending what she did to the dog (which, btw, was not even hers).

Her military leaders, the VA, the ‘boyfriend’, her husband – they were the ones in the positions of responsibility to help her. Her husband, from what I read, did his best but was deployed OOC where she could not be, and probably did not know what to do about a problem as great as this anyway.

The tragedy here is that she was a human being afflicted with a mental illness beyond her ability to control or deal with on her own. Her support groups were either removed from her or failed her.

Perhaps you need to listen to others in the military (full disclosure: I’m not in that group and never have been) who have had to try to deal with a loved one (wife or child) with mental problems while meeting the demands of their military obligations.

Or just listen to those who, like me, have had loved ones who have suffered from bipolar disorder or other mental issues, and know first hand what it is like.

The bottom line is: she was a woman who was in desperate need of help. Her battle buddies failed her, and she is now dead.

If you cannot recognize the pathos in that circumstance, I pity you when you have a need and no one to help you.

Usafvet509

What part of mental illness don’t I understand? I worked for 3yrs as a medication aide in and out of locked DMH facilities here, so no, I guess I have no fucking clue…
Her issues didn’t surface til she went to Korea, if I read that right. That’s a red flag, right there, to my clueless self

Nicole C.

Honestly, not sticking up for her in any way at all, but I knew her personally. She definitely had some problems to sort out before joining the military but she had made it seem like it was drug related. Hence why she enlisted in the first place. She claimed she needed structure, and in her mind, what better place than the military to gain some structure? In the short time I worked with her, we hung out a lot. She was well-spoken, smart as hell, and most of all a really good friend. We lost touch after she enlisted. It’s truly shocking what she did, and I was the first to sign the petition demanding maximum sentencing. I’m not going to pretend I’m not deeply saddened at the outcome of this. There’s not many people who are speaking out on the person she used to be. I think that’s important to remember. At least it is for me.

Sonny's Mom

The part where reality sets in: regardless of how her problems developed, this individual was a danger to herself and everything in her path.

SAD

I wish everyone had an open mind. It was a tragic ending after a tragic cry for help in the most vicious way?! I’m sorry Matt, you lost so much. A wife and a loyal companion. I blame the military for turning their backs, I blame her family for not being there for her or letting her public confession be heard before her useless death! I blame mental illness, I blame denial, I blame hatred, I blame ignorance, I blame myself……

CB Senior

If I could I would, because I am all too familiar with theses troubles and tragedies. Even great help is not enough sometimes.
No man(woman)left behind. I did not know it came with the Caveat of “just the ones we like.”
If she did not show pre-existing mental troubles and cruelly killed that dog out of “Fun” all bets are off. We know that is not the case though.

Well said brother, many people had to see those issues she had, and they juts kicked the can down the road until it ended in this manner. Good leaders yeah!!!!

Graybeard

We all need a battle buddy.

NECCSEABEECPO

Problem is in the end she had a shitty Battle…

nobody is talking about it, but I would dare to say the PTS is probably MST misdiagnosed.

MSG Eric

Tough one here, I’d be curious to see the backstory of whether she tried to get help or was turned away.

Graybeard

If I correctly remember the story her husband told the reporters, she was supposed to be getting help from the VA.

Husband was involved until she left him. This is also not unusual for bipolar sufferers – they seek elsewhere for relief from their agony.

I left the house with 12 fucks this morning. I have given away 0 fucks. How many fucks do I have left?

12?

You have/had 12? Clearly you’re doing well and, I might add, you didn’t build those fucks. Somebody ain’t paying into the system.

Trust me there is nothing new, kinder or gentler about this Senior Chief, but Ms. Rollins was a sheep. A fucked up troubled sheep, who needed protection and was failed because No one gave a Fuck.

Commissar

you have 12. Which is more than most on this board. Greedy 1%er.

As a rule I don’t wish this one anyone, BUT assuming she did what she’s accused of… can’t say I feel sorry for her.

MSG Eric

At the least, I hope they can do an autopsy and see if that tells them what issues she might have had.

I’m also curious about her history of whether she tried to get help or not. Everyone seems to be saying she had mental issues, but how do we know that? Was she not taking her medication? What she turned away at the VA? Was she told about options at the VA and just say, fuck off I’m fine, or something of the sort? Maybe Ft Bragg water had a negative effect on her brain? (Ft Bragg had a higher than normal lead content when I was there. I stopped drinking the tap water on post and ‘amazingly’ my stomach pain went away.)

Too many questions that need to be answered before we know what the true issues were.

USMC Steve

Valid point. When they autopsied the Texas Tower killer, they found a pretty substantial brain tumor in his nugget, and surmised that this may well have turned him into a whacked out sharpshooting malcontent.

SAD

Now all forgiven! Why can’t we forgive and help before they die?!

IDC SARC

There’s a lot we don’t actually know about her and the specific events that lead to her suicide. There is no test that reliably indicates any person is going to commit suicide or when, if administered and the person denies suicidal ideation.

You can’t infringe on a person’s liberty without evidence that will stand up in court. To do so in our litigious society can end a career.

Some people are going to commit suicide, because that’s what they choose to do and it is often an impulsive act.

I’m not sure what people think should have been done differently, especially if you aren’t basing your assumptions specifically on her and the details of her case.

People commit suicide even while under psychiatric care. Psychiatrists for that matter sometimes commit suicide. There is no single solution to someone committing suicide.

I also have to say “WTF?” but at the same time there is no helping someone who won’t help him or herself, mental illness is not nice to anyone. I have no sympathy for her after what she did that dog but if she was trying to get help and having the door shut in her face that’s a whole different ball game and IMHO someone needs to be held accountable.

Roger in Republic

We had a Medical Officer deliver a unit training lecture on suicide prevention. He gave us a few tips on how to deal with people who were threatening suicide. He ended his presentation with this quip: “Suicide is the ultimate form of self-criticism”. That lesson has stuck with me for forty years.

Girl had a screw loose. Unfortunately, when her ex headed overseas she found a guy that egged her on in her craziness. It happens like that sometimes.

If that’s the case then he needs to be taken out into the woods and left there in a world of pain.

Chain him to a tree and shoot him? A lot? Works for me.

Apparently she was recently given a medical discharge from the army.
She definitely had issues. I think the icing on the fruitcake that was her life was the social media backlash when she was involved with killing an animal.
She was already mindfucked and knowing that millions of people thought she was pond scum and wanting her dead pushed her over the edge.

I honestly give zero fucks. It would only have been better if she took that psycho nut with her.

” … Ms. Rollins was a sheep. A fucked up troubled sheep, who needed protection and was failed because No one gave a Fuck.”

You may be on to something there, Senior Chief.

I know nothing about her but I imagine many can agree she was a troubled young lady. Now, I’m not defending in any way her actions re the dog. I’m not. Was she getting adequate MH treatment? I don’t know. As someone noted, some people can not be helped, and it’s often not b/c they don’t want to be helped. Perhaps she was being properly treated but the medications had not been administered long enough to have the desired effect. Sometimes several medications must be tried before treatment becomes effective. Maybe she was on her second or fifth medication and was just beginning to respond as was hoped. IDK. What I do know is she is gone and I take no satisfaction in her passing.

I wish I had known this lady in her time of need and been able to give a fuck that would have resulted in her being alive today. Had I been out of fucks, I would have gotten one elsewhere. Whatever it takes. Whatever …

Normally the torture, cruelty and killing of animals stems from a lack of empathy and a personality disorder known as antisocial PD. Some reports state this young lady according to some reports was Borderline PD and Narcisstic PD which is a borderline sociopath. The most important thing to note about Personality Disorders is that they are *not* mental illnesses, and cannot be treated with medications. Usually PDs are quite ept in knowing right from wrong, they just don’t care. Also, if they have done wrong and are called out or even despised for it, they tend to view *themselves* as the victims. That is not to say that she did not suffer from mental illness, but it is important to note there her choice in engaging in the brutality of hurting and killing her dog very likely did not stem from it, but from her personality disorder, which cannot be treated unless a person can admit that they are at fault. Therefore, treating her yes could have treated her illness and even kept her alive, but it would not have given her the empathy or strength of character that people with PDs lack. Of course this is all speculation and I don’t know for sure at all along with many others. What I *am* noticing however, is tgat as soon as people hear vet, PTSD and mental illness they automatically assume that the person committing brutal acts against a defensess creature has an explanation and that person needed help. It is the reason why silly stories like 50 shades of gray are so popular. We think people who are dark and disturbed just need a little love and care, only to find out the hard way that isn’t the case at all. Also, law enforcement, psychologists and many other professional fields now take heed whenever someone is onvolved with animal cruelty, particularly companion animals. A supervispr for the FBI (I cannot remember his name) is quoted to say that animal cruelty is not some healthy venting but a disturbing warning sign. My point is, this girl posted on social media… Read more »
