An older article about Chris Kyle, to go along with all the current stories about the movie American Sniper.

Smart move, it’s also ok to shoot them through a table.

What was interesting in that story was when the police ran his ID ...

Quoting ...

Kyle leaned on his truck and waited for the police.

When they arrived, they detained him while they ran his driver’s license. But instead of his name, address, and date of birth, what came up was a phone number at the Department of Defense. At the other end of the line was someone who explained that the police were in the presence of one of the most skilled fighters in U.S. military history. When they reviewed the surveillance footage, the officers found the incident had happened just as Kyle had described it. They were very understanding, and they didn’t want to drag a just-home, highly decorated veteran into a messy legal situation.

Chris Kyle is 100% awesome, always! I know he’s dead, but I bet his corpse could kill a criminal and a muslim at the same time.

I wonder what it was about that F-350 that made everyone want it. Supposedly, the lowlife, maggot that murdered Kyle told his sister that he murdered Chris because he wanted that truck.

Jesse Ventura wins $1.8 million in damages against Chris Kyle, slain Navy SEAL sniper

...that would be Kyle's Wife & Kids.

I don’t know that this story has ever been confirmed one way or the other.

I saw the movie last night. I really didn’t know much about him, and didn’t know that he was dead.

I witnessed something that has happened only once before in a movie theater. It was when watching Sielberg’s movie Schindler’s List. As happened then, after American Sniper, no body got up. Ever single persone just sat there watching the remaining photos and credits.

Another famous sniper, Dr Ruth Westheimer.
Not of the caliber of Chris Kyle but pretty good...all 4'7" of her.

Perhaps Chris may usurp Chuck Norris in the “Chuck Norris could ____________ in one second with only his big toe” .. bits

At the end of “The Passion” the audience applauded; I never saw that before.

Well, we could have, but, Chuck Norris taught Chris Kyle how to shoot.

Two guys approached him with pistols and demanded his money and the keys to his truck. With his hands in the air, he sized up which man seemed most confident with his gun....

...He told the robbers that he just needed to reach back into the truck to get the keys. He turned around and reached under his winter coat instead, into his waistband. With his right hand, he grabbed his Colt 1911. He fired two shots under his left armpit, hitting the first man twice in the chest. Then he turned slightly and fired two more times, hitting the second man twice in the chest. Both men fell dead.

I love a story with a happy ending.
