He could just as easily have been dead if his attacker had fired first - clearly they did not intend to kill him. Go ahead and worship at his altar - I don't. I believe people have the right to self defense, but as another poster pointed out, going into an area of unrest carrying a rifle does not constitute simple self defense. I know he was found not guilty by reason of self defense in that moment but he put himself in the direct path of violence simply by being there. Maybe he can become the poster boy for the NRA - he'll be all set for life. Except for those nightmares... Let's hope the country doesn't descend into vigilantism but once the right gets in power again it likely will - and you all can celebrate some more.
Clearly I am in the minority in this thread, I've said my piece so I won't comment further.
The people he killed were unarmed so that could not have happened.
That's not what happened though....a 17 year old was attacked by a pedophile and then by a lynch mob and he simply defended himself against them. Self defense is not "meting out justice as one sees fit"....it's a civil right.
As to Kyle, I don't "idolize" him, but I do respect how he handled himself. He was in a terrible position and he had stellar discipline, always seeking to retreat first and firing only when he had no other choice.
On top of that, he'll be set for life once the lawsuits are finished. The reason so many morons believe that he acted inappropriately is because of malicious media slander....and slander by elected politicians. His life will be greatly improved as a result of this.
No - I’d never let any of my 3 sons run off toting into a riot - that’s not sane. It’s not the 1700s - let cops go their jobs. Wether you agree or not… and as for those store owners who put out the call- what they have to say?? Too cheap to hire security? I’m always going to fall back on “intent” the kid went bold n found himself in deep - heat. He had the bigger weapon , think he might be dead or injured today if someone had fired back. Law let him free - I’m good with that. Due process - foolish young man -Yes
]The people he killed were unarmed so that could not have happened.
That is not true, but most things the left say are not true, so no big deal. You didn't watch the trial. like the vast majority of the left, they just took CNN's lies and continue to spread them.

Be it by self defense or whatnot.
He can freely opine about self defense...so long as he puts the rest of the truth in the narrative.
People actually can defend themselves without death being the result.
You would try to talk your way out of being attacked or killed by someone who just minutes before stated that he was going to kill you, or would you simply hand your weapon over to your attacker?
The people he killed were unarmed so that could not have happened.
Have you been living under a rock? Or are you just getting your news from your pet rock? It's amazing how the trial is already over, and still so many people still do not know the key critical points and most basic facts of this case... Yet those are some of the most emotionally invested people in this particular case.

Except there were major riots, looting, burning it down, violence, etc…, going on so I’m sure usual security was busy, lol.
The cops were doing their jobs. They were overrun with rioters, looters, burn it down folks, etc…
Except mights and ifs don’t count.
Smart and brave young man. The attackers not so much.
So he spent 13 years in jail for having sex with a minor. I'd say he paid his debt to society. Why should we be thankful that he is dead? How can you all be so snarky and gleeful about this guy whose short life here sounds lilke a living hell?
He could have gotten therapy, he could have asked for that in prison. Who are you to assume people are snarky or gleeful about his death. You are an idiot to make such an assumption about anyone feeling or acting that way just for being thankful he is gone. More children will be safer from him.
Since you brought up the assumption he was that way being from his own life and having a Mother who failed him that shows me you know he would never change because you used that for an excuse for what he did. He wasn't shot for what he did in his past he was shot in self defense. You have a problem understanding that.
