I just ran across this and I'm physically ill. I didn't know Chris Kyle admitted to going to New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina, getting on top of the Superdome, and killing 30 people in cold blood. Oh sure he justifies this as saying they were "armed looters". But who made him judge, jury and executioner? Who made him God? Maybe God told the marine he was trying to help at the gun range to kill him (Kyle). It's sick that fake conservatives hold him up as a hero.

The session went well. Kilbane told me that he was struck by Kyle’s “aura,” noting that whenever “he walked in the room the dynamic would change, the energy in the room would shift.” Afterward, a larger group went out for dinner, closed the hotel bar, and hung out in Kyle’s suite, drinking until late. The SEALs began telling stories, and Kyle offered a shocking one. In the days after Hurricane Katrina, he said, the law-and-order situation was dire. He and another sniper travelled to New Orleans, set up on top of the Superdome, and proceeded to shoot dozens of armed residents who were contributing to the chaos. Three people shared with me varied recollections of that evening: the first said that Kyle claimed to have shot thirty men on his own; according to the second, the story was that Kyle and the other sniper had shot thirty men between them; the third said that she couldn’t recall specific details.

Chris Kyle wasn't "defending his property". The asshole wasn't even from New Orleans. How pray tell would he be able to tell from on top of the superdome which armed person was a looter and which one was a defender? By their uniforms?
