I love the culture of Texas. If I ever returned to the States, I'd probably live there.

The cowboy period of the American West is fascinating piece of our history and culture. Got introduced to it listening to the old Gunsmoke radio shows which were Kansas and Texas, then did some reading about the 1870's. Some of that culture survives in Texas to this day.

^I like the history of The Yellow Rose of Texas...

I don't think anyone knows, including the killer. While judged to have been legally sane at the time of the murders, there is clearly something wrong with the guy. He was being treated (and paid by the VA) for PTSD, even though he had never been in combat.

After the shooting, he claimed that Kyle and his buddy had been "ignoring him" at the range, so he shot them both.

Kyle had taken the shooter to the range at the request of the killer's mother, who thought it might do him some good (?).

I do find range shooting relaxing, much like playing darts, but I'm not sure I would take a guy like that to the range as option number one.

He was a heavy pot smoker/doper and often appeared to his family as very paranoid.

The killer should not be on the streets again.

PTSD likely caused the 'mental issues.'

I am surprised people even discuss this. Kyle was very talented, but a freak as well. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. Kyle was a part of the lie.

^That's certainly puke-worthy.

And, what's really puke-worthy is there's a growing population whether in the States, Europe or OZ who side with scum such as this.

Putin! Come on down.

...or what

WTF? I tried to open that piece of shit and it was riddled with spam.

I am sick if this shit. Boon is not a combat vet. The only one on this fora is Davis.

Nothing to romanticize about Kyle.

An evil sociopath of the highest order.

Brilliant and amazing his lawyer let him do it; you're trying to sell an insanity defense and you've got the "insane person" sitting there taking notes in a perfectly rational way. Did his lawyer really think the jury would not notice that? Doubtful if he had any idea what was worth noting anyway or that the notes were any help.

Should have stuck two pencils up his nose and put some underpants on his head.

Judged to have been legally sane at the time of the murders by a jury of redneck republitards who watch Fox News and secretly wank to "American Sniper".

However, it seems that prison is the only real alternative these days for those will mental illness.

A recent report from the Vera Institute of Justice made the case that prison has become society’s solution for dealing with the mentally disturbed. Rates of mental illness in prisons are four to six times higher than in the general population, the report said. Some 14 percent of men and 31 percent of women in America’s prisons have serious mental problems that include “bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression,” according to one study highlighted in the report.

Prisons, the report says, have become the new asylums.

“Jails have been described as the ‘treatment of last resort’ for those who are mentally ill and as ‘de facto mental hospitals,’” the report said, “because they fill the vacuum created by the shuttering of state psychiatric hospitals and other efforts to deinstitutionalize people with serious mental illness during the 1970′s, which occurred without creating adequate resources to care for those displaced in the community.
