He’s probably pretty traumatized by the event. Killing someone, even justified, affects the soul deeply. It makes sense he would want that instrument no longer in existence.
If it continued to exist, the darkness associated with that event would continue to live in that “relic” and would be a constant reminder to him. He wants it gone. He’s listening to his soul. Good for him.
Yes. Some people do not understand this at all.
I sure do.
Was thinking along the same lines but you put it into perspective very well.
Ditto what you posted!
I truly believe he has PTSD......the dog is there to help him.
He shouldn't listen to his shoe..... in the viedo it made him trip & started the mess he was in./s
Don't apologize it takes away from the "NOT GUILTY" verdict.

I think that was pretty obvious from his testimony.
Personally, I think destroying it is a bad idea, but it’s his property to do with as he will.
Shooting or killing anyone goes against what our humanity is all about. To have to do it and not feel any remorse or guilt takes a very hard individual.
I have a close high school friend who lives alone out in the country in northern Michigan with lots of backwoods properties. We used to hunt together in high school and went our separate ways after graduation.
He saw lots of hard times in Vietnam (two Purple Hearts) and even tho he sees deer in the valley behind his house and grouse out in the woods today, he refuses to pick up a gun and hunt anymore.
What Kyle does with his rifle is his business. If Kyle is the compassionate kid that I think he is, he's going to have guilt feelings about that day for the rest of his life. I know I would..........
