American Sniper

[hoosierdoc]

Well, no more seth for us.
**** him and every other self important Hollywood suck bag.

I think that was too much of a leap to make from his comments.

I think that was too much of a leap to make from his comments. I honestly think he saw it more for a cinematic quality than a statement on what the meaning of both movies was.

I tend to get worked up at the Michael Moore's of the world.

 

[hoosierdoc]

There are plenty of people who said directly insulting comments about the movie to aim our fury at. Labeling someone forever for an inferred meaning of an obscure reference on a tweet is kinda like labeling everyone a racist if they say something about Obama

it was a strange comment to make, but a movie guy is probably capable of making a deeper comment about a subplot of a movie than I am and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Plus, he just made a video directly insulting the NK dictator. He should be an INGO hero for that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Seth Rogen: 'American Sniper' Is Equivalent to Nazism

II couldn't stand that guy before he said that thing. Looks like he just played both sides.

Fyi, Brad Cooper on 60 minutes tonight.

 

[oldpink]

I'll be watching the Cooper interview.
Thanks for the heads up!

Not much about American Sniper on 60 minutes (probably intentionally). The used it to boost potential viewers, but the piece was clearly on Cooper and his career, which was fine.

I am glad they did.

Same here. The scumbag that killed him is getting too much press as it is for the trial. I think the ending was a great way to pay tribute to a great American, and is a good way for his family to remember him.

Scumbag is right.
I'm pretty damn tired of losers who play the PTSD card to try and get away with just about everything under the sun.
PTSD doesn't necessarily impair your ability to discern the difference between right and wrong, even if it's genuine, which I seriously doubt for this particular killer.

We have allowed too many "Cards" to come into play in society.
There are excuses for every behavior.

I too doubt he had PTSD. Like I doubt every male child under 17 has ADHD. But I don't doubt for a second that he's bat she-it crazy. Was he predisposed to crazy before joining the Marines? Who knows. But he definitely left that way.

Kyle and Littlefield are dead because our mental health system and VA system sucks. This guy's actions in the months preceding the murders screamed for involuntary committal. He repeatedly threatened friends and family. He claimed to be suicidal. He was a danger to himself and those around him. But more than once, he was kicked out of mental hospitals and back out into the world with a big ole bag of psychotropic drugs that he mixed with marijuana and alcohol.

Had he just killed his mom, his girlfriend, his uncle, or a random stranger who looked at him wrong, we would never have known his name.

You can read some of what Routh has been saying at his trial here:

It's pretty messed up.

A good read...

The Enemy Within

Not really a book. More an article that's too long for most people's attention spans.

Reminder to all of us:

When you're at the shooting range, never assume strangers around you are good people just because they are gun owners and shooters. Be careful and be observant.

ESPECIALLY if you brought the stranger to range after commenting to your buddy that the stranger is straight up nuts via stealthy in car text message.

I def would have had my buddy watching over us while handling firearms.
