If only he had been armed...


:evil:

shoulda been deployed still . killin muslims .....

Very sad. Survived 4 tours in Iraq and gets kilt in a place he felt safe.

Wow, only three replies until a lethal dose of dumb****ery.

Beat me to it. :)

**** RIP he was a good man who killed enough terrorists that chuck norris was like whoa he's a bad ass.

Wow this is sad. I read his book and it was very good. He was a good man that had went thru a lot with his decision to chose country over family. And he finally retired and wanted to open a retreat like program for disabled veterans in Texas.

RIP American Hero

Sorry but this is completely false.

150 isn't enough?

RIP bro...

150,000 isn't enough according to Norris' standards.

Rip would have. Been a different story if he had seen him coming.

Which is ironic considering how he got his fame. The entire thing is some serious irony.

The entire thing is terribly ****ing sad. The guy did his country's bidding (exceedingly well), returned home with honor and tries to assist other veteran's any way he can - and is murdered. It's just...sad.

Lots of sad stories of people murdered by guns every day. Every single on of them was a hero to someone. I think this one stands out because if he can't protect himself as a trained and skilled shooter then what protection is a gun or his experience in using one? Certainly he was better equipped to defend himself than probably 99%of gun victims.

This death will not cause the much needed intropsection and reality call that it should. THAT i s the sad part of his death. He will end up like all other gun deaths. Just another...number.

So what the hell was the motive for this? Has anyone heard?

Quit being such a reerun.

Even someone trained in firearms isn't standing at alert every second of the day watching for assailants.

:facepalm:

Lol, that is true. False sense of security. :doh!:

You don't know what you're talking about. Really, you have no fucking idea. You have no knowledge surrounding the circumstances of his death, and to try and twist it into some political horseshite agenda is weak sauce.

This isn't in DC, so let's keep it out of that clown show.

Sunday talk show said it was a marine he was counseling through PTSD. Which would explain why an experienced SEAL would have his guard down.

Article said he was shot at point blank range by a fellow soldier in a gun range which is a place assuredly full of guns.

Not sure there is much room for controversy here.

How many things can it be? Most likely about money or a woman

When PTSD is involved, it can be anything.

Yep.

And so you posit that he was in a position where he could have defended himself because of his vast experience with firearms? So planes should never crash, and patients should not die on operating tables. You have a child-like understanding of the world if you believe the BS you write.

The man dedicated himself to a profession which you obviously disagree with, (truth being because you cannot comprehend it) and saved countless lives of people he never knew, while doing the unfortunate business of killing in combat. To follow up, he dedicates his life to helping fellow veterans after he serves his time.

A tremendous human being, American (eew, gross, rolleyes), and humble person was murdered yesterday. Yes- you're right many thousands of terrific people died yesterday, and that is also sad. But this particular thread is about Chris Kyle. RIP.

Thanks for making my point.. False sense of security. Perhaps the issue here will not only be guns but trust. When you place your faith in an object to protect or save you then you have lost your inate ability on who and when to trust. This will lead to even more fear and need to trust the object for your safety. More paranoia that you are never truly safe. Vicious cycle.

As strange as it may seem the gun range is the last place you expect to be shot dead on purpose. You're way too focused on what's going on in your lane to worry about what the folks in the next lane are doing.

This whole incident seems more than just a little odd to me, however...

Karma is alive.

Can we ban duhnese?? Phobia can we call a vote? We did it for blackbob..

Another story confirming that guns don't kill people, but menatally unbalanced people with guns kill people.

:clap: short & to the point. well done sir

That's so damned sad. From all accounts, this guy was a great guy and a complete badass. Here's the money quote for me from him:

Shows that he kept his job in perspective.

Here's vote #2 to ban the Queen of Death..

You guys...seriously. Attack my point or ignore me. Don't whine.

THIS!

I'm not in favor of banning people that are assholes, we don't like etc. etc.

On the other hand, most of us are getting tired of people polluting a thread.

At the heart of it all, Kyle and Littlefield were killed while trying to help one of their fellow soldiers. That pretty much says it all to me.

Is your point to ban gun ranges? :spock:

"God blew that bullet and hit him" -- yes, you're an idiot.

Poor guy, he never had a shot.

It's the bullet holes that kill people, actually.

ROFL

Bummer of a story.

This is sickening story, putrid... i hope this bastard is captured alive and given a nightly "cop killer" treatment by the guards in hardcore prison, break the rules every night with this turd.

Very sad. R.I.P.

Wow very sad story. RIP hero.

I hope I see his name at work...

I read his book and heard him interviewed. The book a really awesome read. He seemed like a really down to earth dude. RIP hero.

Taking a soldier with PTSD to a gun range? Don't think he thought that one through

What is so ****ing funny? You are no better than that the shitbag, coward that killed him. Now **** off.

That was a pretty good book. RIP.

Whoever shot him is a pathetic excuse for a human being unless there is something serious going on that we're not aware of yet.

Ban assault..........oh.

It just might work too. Here is #3. She has needed to be removed for a long time.

This statement. The notion that you can be trained and skilled out the ass plus have loaded guns all around you but still get your ass shot and killed in a moment you are not on watch for assailants. Irony.

Especially considering he served four tours in a war zone. The idea of him standing alert every second of the day just struck me as funny.

Wow...awfully cold statement from Ron Paul.....



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2616520.html


Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) took to Twitter Monday to respond to this weekend's fatal shooting of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

The suspect who allegedly shot Kyle and another man is Eddie Ray Routh, a veteran who authorities believe may have a mental illness related to his military service.

Paul wondered what Routh was doing at the Texas shooting range:

Kyle was the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, with 160 confirmed kills. After leaving the Navy in 2009, he wrote his autobiography, American Sniper, published last year



Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

What is cold? He said what many, most, are wondering and/or thinking. The fact that this was military personnel suffering from PTSD makes this rather tricky for a number of parties involved. Was Routh getting proper treatment for his illness? Did a doctor or other medical professional suggest that someone suffering from PTSD be taken to a driving range? Was part of Routh's illness is that he seemed unable to turn off being at war making him a danger to himself and/or others?

We night not ever know the answers but I think the situation is sufficiently odd to warrant asking the questions.

Being from Texas.....why is this dude still alive?

Meaning he just shot 2 people and stole a truck. Wait...let me rephrase...he just shot 2 veterans, one which was highly decorated and the other I am not sure about. The likely hood that he is still armed is great since he just left a gun range.

I would have thought Texas DPS would have been "Halt!!! BLAM BLAM BLAM!!! or we will shoot" type of deal instead of capturing him.

CNN was just saying this looks to be a case of exposure therapy gone horribly wrong.

Wow. This is just absolutely embarrassing.

There are 60 million responsible gun owners in America. The focus of this tragedy should not be "guns" but mental health. We as Americans need to learn how to recognize mental health issues, address them properly and provide help to all those in need.

Until we do so, more tragedies like this will occur.

Read his book sounded like an asshole. What was he doing with a gun and a dude with ptsd?


RIP

Not really calling this "cold".......but for what it's worth:

Paul is friends with Jesse Ventura. Kyle wrote that he punched out Ventura in a bar over "unamerican" comments by Ventura.

Kyle says all these things on Fox News.....who is owned by the same company that published Kyle's book......

Ventura threatens lawsuit (as he claims it never happened and he said it just to sell more books).

Kyle tries to somewhat retract by citing first amendment protection.

Can't recall the rest of the story.....but an interesting story, nonetheless.

true

This is a tragedy. Someone who earned a life of peace and freedom, helping others causing his end.





Spoons made you fat. Lead based paint for lubricant probably made you stupid.

You're a fat piece of shit Denise.

Additionally, it is hard to utilize said skills when you're being shot in the back. I know it might be difficult to grasp with your mongoloid brain but human beings do not have eyes in the back of their skulls, telepathy, or the ability to see the future.

Hahaha. There goes any chance Ill read his book

He punched another vet in the face? What a hero

The day you do 1 worth while thing in your life is the day you can bash a veteran. That day hasnt happened yet Billay.

You went full black bob here bud

This bitch should be banned from any "death thread"

Oh go **** yourself Marcellus. Your whiney ass doesnt know shit about anything other than being a cry baby on the interwebs.

If they haven't taken it down yet, maybe you should go post something derogatory on Chris Kyle's Facebook page, little hero.

Meh like I said rip the guy had a family but calling him a hero because he killed a bunch of iraqi insurgents is a stretch but fits the American mythology well.

Everytime I see this on the front page I read it as Mel Kiper and think YES...then realize what the thread actually is.

The irony from this quote is epic.

Don't know why you want to go down this road again, you always, always lose.

Let me teach you something.

I am a veteran but even though I am a veteran, I don't believe I belong being mentioned in the same sentence as someone like Chris Kyle.

Anyone who has done at least something with their life in the military could tell you that just being in the military or a veteran doesn't make you special.

There are pieces of shit just like you in the military too. Granted the % of pieces of shit like you are lower in the military than in civilian life, they do still exist.

Most veterans initially will give the benefit of the doubt to another veteran, but its not a free pass.

On a like note, not all veterans feel like they are on the same level as people like Chris Kyle and they in fact look up to them like some civilians do to say your average solid hard working veteran. Granted we at CP know you aren't even an average civilian.

Then on another note there are great great people in civilian life, true heroes. Police and fire fighters, EMT's etc...

From everything I can tell from my history here with you, I can say without a single doubt you have zero room to criticize somene like Chris Kyle.

So STFU.

Im sure if you posted something on there it would be racist because thats what you are.

Funny im a piece of shit for saying something about this guy assaulting another vet but hes an alright guy despite you know disrespecting another veteran.

Chris Kyle is the same guy that said he kicked Jesse Ventura's ass in a bar and it never happened.
