While most of the SEALs have died in military combat or unexplained helicopter accidents over the past four years….the recent death of Chris Kyle and other high profile 2nd amendment advocates have raised some questions since the war on our 2nd Amendment right began following the Newtown tragedy in December 2012.
It is so sad and tragic we lost such a great American hero and advocate for our Constitution and country.
It was reported today they found the bodies of Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield three hours after they were shot yesterday, by 25 year old Eddie Ray Routh.
Why did it take so long before someone found them?? One report said they were shot in Kyle’s truck shortly after they arrived at 3:15pm on Saturday at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort.
Strangely, according to The Star Telegram, ”witnesses told sheriff’s investigators that the gunman opened fire on the two men around 3:30 p.m., then fled in a pickup truck belonging to one of the victims. The sheriff’s department didn’t get a call until around 6 p.m.”
Hmmmm?
After shooting both Kyle and his friend Littlefield, Routh then took off in Kyle’s truck and drove back to his house, where he was apprehended around 9pm after a short pursuit.
According to the Star-Telegram, The 25-year-old suspect was apprehended about five hours later in Lancaster, southeast of Dallas, more than 70 miles from the scene, Bryant said.
The suspect, identified as Eddie Ray Routh, 25, was pursued to a house in Lancaster by officers, including a local SWAT team. Routh again try to flee in a vehicle but was stopped about 9 p.m. after spikes were laid across a road, Bryant said.

If it was just him, I’d suspect nothing more than shady dealings gone wrong.
Except that Hollister is dead too. And Kyle. And a couple other names I’m forgetting. And Ayoob suffered (and, thankfully, survived) a freak helicopter crash.
All in a few weeks.
All which, it seems, someone looking for “high profile” names would latch on to.

Are you kidding me? I had not heard about him.
Noveske, not Hollister. Sorry. I’m tired.
Hardcore (and serious wannabe) shooters, yes.
Remaining big name 2nd Amend. guys and gals and manufacturers need to step up awareness.
I hadn’t heard that about Ayoob, but I’ve wondered about the safety record of those tiny helicopters used for hog hunts.
Not the bad Russian accent guy, but rather his associate who worked behind the scenes. Yes, some of this is certainly suspicious.
Funny, I was just thinking of doing that today. It is a good idea.
that’s because the stories stink. doesn’t pass the smell test.
Hello. Please add me to your ping list. TIA.
According to an article I read elsewhere, Routh was a troubled veteran of the Iraq war who Kyle’s neighbor, the other victim, brought to Kyle for possible help. They took Routh to a shooting range, where some time later the two bodies were found. This story sounds different from the one here.
I wonder if the murderer could have been a Muslim convert with ties to jihadists, and the killing was an act of revenge?

Yes. Our local news (KXAS-NBC5) reported that the truck the shooter drove away belonged to Kyle (thus the skull decal on the rear window), according to witnesses who saw him leaving the shooting range. ....They also reported that the Lodge/resort is a top five favored place for weddings. The property is around 16,000 acres, so probably has many activities, including hunting.
What say you?
The Chicago way of doing business.
“’Ave Good Day”
LOL
I was hoping some one was on to this.. not that is complete..
How could it be.?.. Funny you never hear of the “MAfia” anymore..
Could be the “mafia” IS a big part of the federal, most State and many local giverments..
Because what they protect us from...... is themselves..
The way “MAfias” always do.. and have done for centuries..
Are all these rogue shooters being pushed in the direction a leftist govt needs them to be via internet contact? These guys are all mentally ill, and could easily be hyped to a point of no return.
We’ll never know...the computers disappear into the bowls of the Fed enforcement agencies
