Interesting conversation. I think the Punisher is a comic book character. His name, Frank Castle, an ex U.S. Marine,
and ex FBI Agent who's entire family was murdered by organized crime family's as payback for him exposing and arresting their higher up members.
Frank took them all to court and they were ultimately released by corrupt judges etc.
So, in the comic and the movies, Frank went haywire and .......well you know the rest.
The Chris Kyle movie, and most of the rest, stickers etc are about Justice rather than JUST US.
The Kyle guy was the most effective real life character, doing a job that was completely and totally sanctioned by the U.S. Government, and his clients were given no trial. They were and remain guilty of the same thing
that the comic book characters clients were guilty of which is terrorizing innocent people for their own greed and personal gain. They all had one thing in common, that being a total disrespect for human life and peaceful
life of their communities.
So unfortunate that people like Chris Kyle and the comic book guy are sometime unleashed in an attempt to per say flush the toilet of human society.
As for the logo itself....Ha Ha it is a human skull.....which at last check everyone has. Finally, in the comic, Frank Castle's very young son gave him a T shirt with the skull emblem on it as a birthday gift .
Castle wore the shirt racked with pain at the death on his precious family.
So you can consider the symbol; dark and evil, and a jury might agree with you, but make sure you tell them that
the symbol made famous by the comic and real life punishers were not killing innocent children who
failed to be born of a certain faith etc. Or perhaps some south of the boarder or your town USA who profit heavily from the pain inflicted on them from the provision of narcotics etc and destroy any and all who stand in their way.
There have always been people like Chris Kyle who are applauded in times of trouble....marked as hero's....that is until the storm subsides. Then their heroic glow seems to darken mostly due to the embarrassment of
the people who requested their deployment as no one wants to remember fondly their unpleasant but at the time required tasks. Perhaps akin to your own local garbage collector. A stinky job.......but without him you would be infected with the rot and stench eventually resulting in your demise.
