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.

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.

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.

Quit being such a reerun.

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

Lol, that is true. False sense of security.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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