A former Tarleton State University student who wrote the best-selling book, "American Sniper," was one of two victims shot and killed at Rough Creek Lodge late Saturday afternoon. Chris Kyle and a friend were found dead at Rough Creek's shooting range.

And now we are ready to repeat it all by demonizing our own candidates as we have already started here and elsewhere. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton gets the best staff,PR,msm treatment, money can buy to get her elected after eight years of the worst terrorist/Manchurian ever as potus.

So somebody that the military knew was unstable, which would serve as a perfect cover for using him as an assassin. Just like Jared Loughner, who assassinated Judge John Roll shortly after Abercrombie said he was worried about states passing eligibility laws...

When the government has all our medical records they will be able to very easily see who has a medical condition that could be used as cover for being used as an assassin. And they will also know the most effective way to assassinate any one of us under the cover of it being a genuine medical death (cancer, heart attack, suicide, etc) But for sure anybody who’s been in the military is already in their database and can be used for whatever purpose they want.

Sick.

And given the threats we know occurred in Oct of 2008 to silence the media from reporting on Obama’s ineligibility, it would be crazy for anybody to NOT consider what assassinations the regime may be doing right now. We know these people are murdererous thugs. People like Bill Ayers and Obama’s other Columbia University buddies were PLANNING on exterminating what they believed would be 25 million Americans who would resist “re-education” in the forced camps. We KNOW what kind of people these are. We would be morons to ignore that.

Alas, most Americans are morons.

My thought was that it was the neighbor who brought Ed Routh to the lodge to meet & work with Kyle.

Or it could be domestic.

I guess we’ll learn more in the days ahead.

Based upon Breitbart’s medical records, the coroner said Breitbart hadn’t seen a doctor in the year before he died. There were no prescription or street drugs in his body at time of death. Early reports had his father-in-law saying he had no heart problems and the actual physical evidence (medical records and toxicology test) support that.

We could ask, then, why the stories changed so that eventually we had his scared colleagues claiming he had had a massive heart attack 6 months earlier that had put him in the hospital for 2 weeks. Seems like that would have been in the medical records that the coronor had immediately told us showed no contact with a doctor...

Well I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes, what a terrible tragedy and loss. I’ve met Chris twice at a couple of events I’ve helped co-sponser for our wounded vets. If theres a finer Man I’ve yet to meet him, take care of him LORD.

You know the answer to that one better than anyone. We all know whose side the DBM are on and what their agenda is.
At least FNC is reporting the story today. They are keeping the Chris Kyle story alive and well and even getting some of it correct. At least this morning. They are giving it big story coverage as well.

In all, he was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor and two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals.

“I don’t care about the medals,” Kyle told the Star-Telegram in a 2012 interview. “I didn’t do it for the money or the awards. I did it because I felt like it was something that needed to be done and it was honorable. I loved the guys.”

A member of SEAL Team 3, Kyle picked off his targets from rooftops or windows of abandoned buildings during the 2003 war against Iraq, which toppled the Saddam Hussein regime. Primarily serving as a sniper and wounded twice, he provided “overwatch” protection for Marines and other U.S. troops and earned a reputation for his proficiency.

Most shots ranged from 200 to 1,200 yards. His longest, most remarkable kill — from 1.2 miles away — took out an insurgent aiming a rocket launcher at an approaching Army convoy.

Seems it is the same Glen Doherty. Two of the three authors dead? Hardly a coincidence.

And the shooter manages to escape the initial response by taking the victims own truck..

The three men probably drove down to Glen Rose together in Kyle's truck. Makes sense for Kyle to be coming from Dallas and making a slight detour to pick up Routh and his neighbor (the other victim) in Lancaster and head on over to Glen Rose.

Waiting to see if the hussein admin spins this.

I don’t remember where I read about a two part poison. the first part is given up to 3 weeks before the second and causes no I’ll effect until the second part is given. Do you remember how many weeks before he died that Breitbart had dinner at Ayers house?

“Skull sticker” Sounds more like something a wannabe would have, as apposed to the real article, but I have never known any of them.

This comment is from the blaze and is reproduced because it provides some interesting context. This event does have some anomalous features that are very troubling:

This are a few problems with this story. First of all, Rough Creek Lodge DOES NOT allow invitations to an open range without a guide. Really? A name like Chris Kyle would be wined an dined. Everyone on the property is registered. Make no mistake about that. WFAA reported witnesses say they saw the two men shot at 3:30 and saw the suspect drive off in a black truck but Stephenville police were not dispatched until 6:00p.m. Did the witnesses not dial 911? This is a high profile 5 star resort. These 3 men were not the only ones present today. It’s ironic that being in the second smallest county in the state of Texas, the has been no rumors or reports of what happened, where news ALWAYS travels like wildfire. Sandy Hook, Rough Creek, and other high profile murders.

That was on Kyle's truck the killer took. It was the logo for his company.

One of the first statements on the matter said that Kyle had an open invitation there and didn't need a guide.

WFAA reported witnesses say they saw the two men shot at 3:30 and saw the suspect drive off in a black truck but Stephenville police were not dispatched until 6:00p.m. Did the witnesses not dial 911? This is a high profile 5 star resort. These 3 men were not the only ones present today.

1. I've been there, everything is very spread out. You drive out to various ranges and you are pretty remote. You can have an area to your self for the entire day if you want.

2. I believe the first calls were at 3:30ish. The 6PM report was when Kyle's truck was reported seen.
