@Pink - If you want to move the video up, please do so. I was unable to contact you privately.

Just one big dysfunctional family here

Might have been a trigger, (no pun intended).

From what I understand, some people who were in war can go off from backflashes or something he saw, heard, remembered or thought he did.

He could have also had his own personal reasons

yep.. I just wanted to point out all of these "gun heads" dying off one by one.. Keith Ratliff, John Noveske..

I'm pretty sure theyre not all connected.

But I'm sure a paranoid person could not help but connect them all.

Yea this shit is getting out of hand. I was just telling someone about FPS and the other guy that died not a month ago. I always said that as strange as things were with Bush in office, things were gonna get much stranger with this stranger in the oval office. And its barely the 2nd month of the year

My dad was a personal friend of Chris Kyle. He was in Iraq since 2003 and met him there so its weird having this close to home. We always go to a private range here in Houston and I couldn't imagine this happening here. Couldn't imagine someone getting shot in a place where we go to relax and enjoy our time. I don't care how many people say "its karma for killing 150+" (saw on some blog thing) but to be one of the top snipers is amazing to me -- Only because I know I can't shoot that good or have the balls to kill someone.

I'm just paranoid now to go to even our private range knowing my dad has a well known status and someone could even try to shoot us just for our guns we bring or for whatever reason they think of that day... Society

As American Illusions pointed out, this guy is no ''war hero'' he invaded another country and killed hundred's of its people. Remember the WMD claim to invade iraq was false.

All that skill, just to be gunned down in a gun range.

Are you the type that thinks killing because the govt told you to isn't really killing simply because govt told you? If so that's pretty stupid. This man lived by and made a damn good living solely off the gun. You can't deny that.

What did he expect to happen? He divulged things that should of been kept secret for his own safety on national news for all to see. I know he had plenty enemies but did he know? I guess not. RIP Pat Tillman, a true hero.

Killing is killing. War is war. I dont agree with ALL of the aspects of the iraqui war...especially since it was started based on a LIE.
