The Legend of Chris Kyle
2013-03-25
Impossible to summarize. RTWT.
ThereÂ’s a story about Chris Kyle: on a cold January morning in 2010, he pulled into a gas station south of Dallas. Two guys approached him with pistols and demanded his money and the keys to his truck.
There's bad luck, and there's really serious bad luck
With his hands in the air, he sized up which man seemed most confident with his gun. Kyle knew what confidence with a gun looked like. He was the deadliest sniper in American history. He had at least 160 confirmed kills by the Pentagon’s count, but by his own count—and the accounts of his Navy SEAL teammates—the number was closer to twice that.
Diane Feinstein would be horrified.
In his four tours of duty in Iraq, Kyle earned two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars with Valor.
Wow, he's almost up there with John Fn' Kerry, except in Kyle's case there was actual shooting involved.
He told the robbers that he just needed to reach back into the truck to get the keys.
And they let him, which conclusively proves that the robbers were Democratic Senators.
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.
"I told youse we shoulda picked the other truck."
Then he turned slightly and fired two more times, hitting the second man twice in the chest. Both men fell dead.
Fortunately, no assault rifles were used in the incident.

#10  Barbara, here's the link - Special offer, regularly $1,000.00 - now $300.00 or $325.00 if you want the NRA duffel bag (should go well towards pi$$ing off my liberal buds...):...

Nice shooting! Yeah, at close range, but still...

#8  Just got my membership card (1 year) this weekend, Uncle Phester.

How much does the lifetime membership cost? (I chucked out all the paperwork but the card; don't want the magazine or the insurance.)

#6  I'm sure what the Denver Post is really whining about is the "promise and potential" of more juicy stories involving the dead guy, which are now and forever lost.

For some obscure reason no career a$$hole has ever suddenly turned into the next Einstein. Go figure.

#5  Promise? Potential?

He was in a white supremist group that is the complete antithemae of what the libs stand for. So just because this raving sociopath was shot to death in that horrible state of Texas, the Denver Post is waxing eloquently about the nut's "Promise?"

Oh please.

I have to go now, I have another nose bleed.

#3  Couple weeks ago, the now very liberal Dallas Morning News (they were conservative to the core until their competitor, the very liberal Dallas Times Herald shut down, and then they let the cockroaches from the Herald come over to work for them) went after Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys for hosting the Chris Kyles memorial service. FINALLY avertisors stopped advertising in that filthy rag.

Last week when the killer of the Colorado prison warden and the young Colorado pizza carrier was cut down in a gunfight with Texas lawmen, I checked in to see how the Denver Post was responding. Sure enough, all they could editorialize was how much "promise" the Colorado cold blooded killer had.

Most media consists of the most degenerate, rot, unwashed scum that love debased cockroaches and hate heros like Chris Kyle and the men and women in uniform who protect good people.

#2  Apparently no one from the current administration attended this hero's huge memorial service. I doubt anything more need be said.

#1  Clearly these poor dead men would still be alive iff Chris had waited for the local police to arrive like he's supposed to + carried a single shot pistol or revolver; or that Chris carried a personal button device to quietly activate his car computer which would had sent a 911 signal to the local police station to come to his mighty rescue, thus saving Chris, etal. from death, injury + loss or personal property(s).

IFF CHRIS HAD ONLY RELIED ON THE POLICE + FIRST RESPONSE SERVICES WHOSE BUDGET $$$ KEEP GETTING DIVERETD BY THE GOVT, THESE MEN WOULD BE SAVED.

Just like the Missionaries at the end of "RAMBO IV" whom want to turn in Sly Stallone to the local authorities for killing all the bad guyz + saving their lives, but whom weirdly-n-mysteriously don't want to go back to the enemy camp to be held hostage again by any enemy survivors.

OH THE FUEL-PUMP MANITY!
