This could all be a coincidence, this could be gobment conspiracy, although I don't see how any of this would work in their favor other than scare tactics. This could also be the work of an interested party (foreign or domestic) nudging us toward our own Arab Spring, more than likely not for our own good, but to expose our Achillies' heel as it were-- a nation divided, all that's left is to conquer. Just be aware of your surroundings as 1000meterstare suggested, and don't let the anger, fear, paranoia, consume you, but instead, keep building yourselves up to rise above the smoke and mirrors.My suggestion, stand outside for a few minutes today and look at the world around you. There is a much larger set of rules guiding us than our own, our bullshit laws don't apply to the universe, so don't let them keep you from enjoying the view. Our fallen brothers and sisters no longer have that option, which makes it that much more important for us to enjoy it, not take it for granted.RIP Chris Kyle, your valiance will not be overlooked nor forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

It's too easy to get caught up in a limited perspective with the extreme micro-focus the internet allows and mostly promotes.
As of this writing Glenn's charity mercury1 has collected approx $250,000- for Chris's family. Jessee Ventura is continuing to sue the Kyle estate for slander. Beck is going to put the donations for the Kyle family in a trust so if he wins he will not get a dime.http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_20039344
After a public backlash, former presidential candidate Ron Paul used his Facebook page to clarify controversial comments he made Monday about the Navy SEAL who was killed at a Texas gun range over the weekend.On Monday, Paul, 77, took cyber heat for a tweet he sent out following the news of the veteran's death. Paul wrote: ?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.?His comments were re-tweeted more than 800 times and most of the responses he received were negative. Paul backtracked some and offered a clarification on his Facebook page. He wrote: "As a veteran, I certainly recognize that this weekend's violence and killing of Chris Kyle were a tragic and sad event. My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Kyle?s family. Unconstitutional and unnecessary wars have endless unintended consequences. A policy of non-violence, as Christ preached, would have prevented this and similar tragedies. -REP"Paul has spent much of his congressional career denouncing military intervention overseas. He publicly opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and called them unconstitutional. Eddie Ray Routh, 25, has been charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Kyle, author of the best-selling book ?American Sniper? and his friend Chad Littlefield. All three were at a shooting range in Glen Rose, Texas. Routh is on suicide watch at the Erath County Jail, where he?s being held on $3 million bail.Kyle, who had four tours in Iraq, was the most lethal sniper in the U.S. He had 160 confirmed kills and received 14 different awards and decorations, including two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor and two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals. After leaving the Navy, he wrote his biography, ?American Sniper.?
If the killing of Chris Kyle was a black ops shooting his murderer will die at the hands of someone before his case makes it's way to the courtroom. IMO, if he makes it to court and a guilty finding the murder will be what it i s- A disturbed man.

I'm sure I'll catch some flack for this but... I don't see wtf the big deal is about this guy. anyone ever seen Terantino's "Inglorious Bastards"?answer me this: wtf is the difference (aside from the obvious physical danger) between this dude, and some twat thumbing a joystick on a drone?he carried out orders just like all the rest of the boots. he's no more of a hero than anyone else that put themselves in harm's way for a bullshit cause. so he had a talent for putting rounds on target. I'd place my bets on Kentactic any day.sorry if this offends anyone.
