lots of dumb shit gets reposted on facebook. If it was a different cause, on the left, there'd be the usual tin foil hat comments.

Thanks, Obama.

No really.

I guess using a drone to kill them would have been too obvious.

Hard to say there's a casual relationship between those killings without knowing more facts, but interesting nonetheless.

 

[santeesioux]

Didn't he punch Jesse Ventura in the face?

Here's some of the facts.

ah, the conspiracies...

btw, a friend of mind posted about Kyle, that "god wil welcome him with open arms into heaven"..

and then I thought "wait...so God is ok with breaking a commandment, a believed 200+ times, as long as it's done during war time?"

I've read that the commandment actually specifies a difference between "murder" and rightful killing, such as in a war.

Can't back that up with much knowledge, but I'm sure a google search could help you out.

I think this is right. Otherwise they couldn't take someone and stone them to death.

I still stand by my point, the whole thing about him being a "good man" and that "god would welcome him" seems odd to say, considering he's the reason why 200+ people are dead.

 

[Denny Crane]

The commandment doesn't read "thou shall not take a life under any circumstances."

Murder has a definition. It doesn't cover every possible way a person might take another's life.

I get it, you think it's Ok because its in war time.

I don't think that clears him of anything.

do we have what the definition of murder was at that time?

 

[Haakzilla]

...the guy they are claiming pulled off this murder at a shooting range is just a patsy, just another fall guy

Another one of those times you just post a link to some random article or video in a thread. Sorry maybe I missed it, what was the relevance of that article?

point, counterpoint.

Why make a whole new thread about it?

As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure the Bible calls for execution of people based upon crimes they commit.

According to this WWW page: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0004_0_03929.html

The three accepted forms of executions were hanging, stoning, and burning.

As for non biblical definitions of murder, it seems obvious to me the Roman armies killed lots of their enemies, and the Romans also fed christians to the lions.

what is it a counterpoint to? Guess I missed it. Sorry, not intending to be too mean, but why not actually type something when you post a link to something, to at least explain the link.

There's two stories about shootings. One is getting a massive amount of press, the other not. I find it interesting.

Why do you think the second story is getting no national press coverage?

See. Try adding that then.

I'd say because the victim wasn't someone who wrote a book and was a famous sniper.

Well, I wasn't trying to offer my opinion first. I was expecting people to offer their own. I'm sorry you didn't see the relevance.

My opinion is that the press is more interested in pushing ultimately for gun bans. The second story really hurts that cause.

On the other hand, if the press didn't glorify the shootings and shooters and made heros out of the guys who use guns to stop crimes, the criminals might think twice about trying to assault women in parking garages (as in the story I posted).

Byron York documents several examples of what should be neutral (we cover the news, not opine about it) reporters and anchors but are instead openly advocating for gun control.

Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

SPD beat me to it. Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense.

Bump for Julius.

On top of those 3, there was Massad Ayoob's helicopter crash during the same time frame. I'd just say it's very weird timing at the least.

To be fair, most people didn't even know Keith Ratliff existed. Many outlets reported that Kyle Myers (aka Dmitri) was the one shot when the news first broke. Though I guess the videos have stopped...
