This isn't PTSD.

Everything that I've seen so far tells me
a) The dirtbag PLANNED to kill them
b) He intends to capitalize on the "hero worship" that the media gives to killers.

Looks like he succeeded at both.

I will NEVER repeat his name, and I will not link to any article that gives him "in depth" analysis.

He deserves to rot in a cell, forgotten, and buried in an unmarked grave in an unknown location.

I'm more inclined to believe this, too, especially after I read those two men were shot in the back with a handgun.

I read an article that said the killer used a handgun to murder Kyle and Littlefield. And Kyle was reported to have been set to teach a "precision rifle class", not handguns. So, if true, it would at least seem that the killer must have had handgun on him loaded when he arrived at the range, and it was concealed. That, to me, is NOT PTSD, but premeditated murder...and if that is true, then what was the motive? I hope this guy makes it to trial.
I am no attorney so I have to ask. Would calling it PTSD be an out that would be similar to pleading insanity?
Um..."calling it PTSD and pleading insanity"...I don't think so, Tim. There is a lot of miss-information out there. I would suggest reading-up on it from a RELIABLE source.

Glad that Ron Paul can stay classy at a time like this. :roll:

Always thought he was half on the horse and half off the horse! He is clearly not in the saddle on this one!

Wow...that's disgusting. I was actually considering supporting him at one point, but not a chance in Hades now.

Gotcha AGAW. His son is actually someone the electorate can take seriously. Daddy Paul, not so much.

I would expect a retraction soon. The Paulites refuse to acknowledge that Ron would green light this tweet.

That's just ridiculous. Who else would have had access his account, if it has been compromised, why now, and not earlier when he was running for POTUS? I'm afraid that this disgusting statement is perfectly in line with RON Paul's prior statements about anything having to do with Iraq/Afghanistan/WOT/Foreign Policy, and I'm guessing that RAND Paul is wincing and just wishing his dad would shut his pie-hole.

I doubt that Ron Paul directly updates his own tweets. These accounts are usually maintained and updated by staffers and are generally carefully crafted by advisors. Not saying that is the case here, but this is how it usually works with high profile politicians, celeb-u-trash, etc.

He is now executive director of Campaign for Liberty. He is still politically active and wealthy. You think he is just sitting on the couch watching Oprah and randomly tweeting all day?
