If you thought the criticism of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and the biopic on his life, “American Sniper” couldn’t get any worse, you’d be wrong.
Very, very wrong.
Here is Sheldon Richman, vice president of The Future of Freedom Foundation and editor of FFF’s monthly journal, comparing Kyle to Adam Lanza, the madman behind the shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school:

How did Chris Kyle's actions in Iraq differ in essence from those of Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary? #AmericanSniper

And his conclusion:

Let’s type that again as the enormity of his accusation settles in:
Excuse me, but I have trouble seeing an essential difference between what Kyle did in Iraq and what Adam Lanza did at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It certainly was not heroism.
Disgusting.
@SheldonRichman @reason Douche article from a douchebag writer aligned with the douchebags on the Left. How typical.

And we’ll end it with this:
@Matthops82 If only a man like Chris Kyle had been at Sandy Hook that day.
