Tell Barnes and Noble: stop celebrating death culture

The Issue

 

This coming Thursday (Jan 12, 2012), the Barnes & Noble bookstore located in the Mira Mesa community of San Diego has scheduled a book signing with Chris Kyle. As author, and state-sanctioned hitman, Kyle plans to visit a supposed friendly-town to promote his heartfelt tale of bloodletting called American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History.

The event page describes this man as the -most accomplished SEAL sniper in US History- Instead of being tried for crimes against humanity, he will be sitting amongst local families bragging about how many Arabs he has picked off while dreaming about his next Coors Light.

Does it really take a brave man to kill from a distance? Does his rifle have a censor that detects "terrorist DNA" through the scope? One can only hope that this brave warrior doesn’t go on a shooting spree if no one shows up for his scheduled ego-fest.

In a recent interview with Bill O’Reilly, Chris Kyle was brutally honest. How was he able to kill with no conscious? He said: "...you have to not think of them as a human being."

Honest and chilling. The history of the world in eleven words.
