lol An occasional post hurts my feelings. This one gave me a needed post work chuckle. Hard day at the office. I needed it.
talk about politicking someone's death- I skimmed over the Chris Kyle story and this thread last week until I saw this post on my old social networking scene. gave me a nice chuckle. lol wut?
Hopefully this and the little girl with an Uzi will let people know that guns aren't a cure for PTSD or a petting zoo.
I seriously doubt his claims he had PTSD. He wasn't even fighting. They said he was a weapons repair tech or something. I doubt he was ever in any danger during his deployments...albeit maybe he was at a base that was shelled occasionally. Hard to say if he had PTSD but the jury didn't buy it. That's not really an excuse for gunning down two guys in the back. Apparently, the main motive was he felt wronged because the guys didn't shake his hand and barely spoke to him. It sounds like he felt disrespected and wanted payback. But, if he was heavily dosed on alcohol, then that can turn a drunk really mean. The idea the prosecution laid out there about "cannabis-induced psychosis" is just a bunch of complete bull and has no basis in fact whatsoever.
Reminds me of a Quote from the Movie Jimmy Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa: If a guy's close to you, you can't slight 'im. You can't slight that guy. A real grievance can be resolved; differences can be resolved. But an imaginary hurt, a slight - that mother****er gonna hate you 'til the day he dies. Amazing How one drums up enough hate in their head and heart based on something so small as missed handshakes or conversation. SMH Two people died for no apparent reason IMO Rocket River
It's like he had some sort of malady that would make something like not being talked to in a car result in making one shoot two people to death.
Imagine every time you get in your car and pass a rock, wondering if that's the rock that's going to blow you up. That's an exaggeration, but the principle holds.
PTSD is a real and horrifying thing, but there's a ton of vets that claim to have PTSD that are full of ****, or rather they are simply whiners who try to pass that off as PTSD and it's disgraceful. Anyway, PTSD doesn't make people kill other people for not shaking their hands.
