Started out with animals and had hoped to advance to humans in the military but looks like the Marines might have figured him out and kept him where he had no reason to use his weapons. He told big time lies about his “bravery” in the service for the attention and then finagled the PTSD card. Then he gets home and got his chance to move up to humans. Again, that goes with what I’ve suspected that he went after Kyle because of the fame it’d get him. More sad that Littlefield was drawn into it. The Rangers might want to look into any unsolved murders or missing persons as this can’t be his first human kill.
Interesting thought there about whether or not this was his first murder. Supposedly twice, he nearly beat someone to death in the Marines in an explosive rage where he thought someone was poking fun at him.
Interesting to know if anyone in his area has an unsolved murder where someone was beaten to death with no apparent motive.
That would sure be worth a look into and I would not be surprised if there was indeed one out there.
Hearing Kyle thought he was a nut, wonder if some innocent good natured joke or comment set him off?
I once had a coworker/subordinate utterly snap in rage at me over the phone when I told him something he had just said really sounded kinda nuts. Turned out later to be a nut, but at that time I had no clue he had the mentally ill background he did. But just hearing someone say he sounded nuts made him explode.
I think the crazy SOB woulda attacked me had we been in the same place.
He apologized later, but sure an attention getter.
But there’s little doubt this guy will go to prison for life. Texas has life without parole in death penalty cases. They charged Capitol Murder but said they wont be going for death. Wonder if life without parole option is the reason?
