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

I don't like the above post because it's NOT an accurate assessment.

Why is he a piece of shit? Because he was right? He was right on the money with this post too.
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

Ron Paul is right.
"Treating" PTSD without a clinical license isn't just stupid and irresponsible, it's fucking reprehensible and deadly. Innocent people died and now this mentally ill man is going to be charged with murder because some dumbfuck wanted to prove a point about guns healing mental illness.
Nobody's saying he deserved it, just that nobody should be shocked that it went down that way.

Who the fuck treats PTSD at a gun range?? I have not followed this story that closely so this is the first I have heard of that part. Jesus, that is dumb. The whole thing is sad and tragic but he probably should have let the professionals help this guy.
I did find it very ironic that at a time that some people in this country are proclaiming we need MORE guns to be able to defend ourselves, a former SEAL sniper gets gunned down at a GUN range. I can't be sure, but I am betting he was armed while he was there.

He was trying "rehabilitate" him using exposure therapy methods. He was acting as a clinician and tried performing a very precise and intense form of therapy with absolutely no license to do so. It takes time to build a solid and reliable exposure hierarchy, and even with that in place, you sure as fuck don't put live ammunition in the hands of a wartime veteran suffering from PTSD.
Eddy Ray Routh isn't a murderer - he's a victim.

I think it is pretty clear how I feel about murders these days, but even I have to agree with you 100% that Routh is a victim. Unfortunately, since this occurred in Texas and Kyle is some sort of American Hero, I guess the prosecution will be out for blood, ie: the death penalty. What Routh really needs is a mental hospital and PROPER treatment for what this country has done to him while he was serving it.

The fact that this man is sitting in jail right now is infuriating. He should be under VA care, not incarcerated.
While I have no doubts that Kyle's intentions were good, what he did was no different than trying to perform a kidney transplant with out an MD.

Hell, without an MD, even with an MD, it would be totally irresponsible and dangerous for an OB-GYN to try and perform a kidney transplant. This man has NO business trying to treat him, no matter how good his intentions. I am sure not every therapist is able to treat severe PTSD, nor should be. Someone with no training and no license certainly shouldn't be "taking a whack at it".
Jesus. And yes, Routh should be in a hospital right now. Horrible

I actually agree with stoner and mm. It was a painfully dumb thing to do. I understand the thought behind it, sort of a 'tough it out, you are military and it will bring you back to earth' mentality but not everything can be done that way. Very stupid thing to do. The guy should be in a hospital.
