OXY-MORON
Having a “therapy” session with a “disturbed” individual on
a gun range’ and giving him a loaded assault weapon to work through his problems? The contradiction is
astounding to say the least.
Chris Kyle may have been a sharp shooter, but he wasn’t very sharp when it came to assessing dangerous situations.
His death, like many others lately, was another of those
senseless tragedies that could have been avoided. This is especially true in
this case.
What this also brings into the light is how this culture not
only glorifies guns, but also those who get high scores on the number of kills.
The fact that these 160 plus targets were the enemy doesn’t have much to do
with how society reacts to killing people.
Enemies and targets are all relative
and change all the time. Sometimes they are just imagined. Newtown is a
stark example.
Getting a “best selling” book out of the deal would not be
in the cards if we truly do respect life.
