Chris Kyle was an American sniper for the Navy SEALS with 160 confirmed kills, although he liked to boast that he had killed 250 people. He was a well known liar who once claimed that he had beaten up Jesse Ventura in a bar in 2006. Ventura sued him for defamation and was awarded $1.8 million compensation.
Kyle also told reporters that in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he had climbed onto the roof of the Superdome and spent a pleasant afternoon shooting looters in the back - about 30 of them! I've often wondered how he was able to differentiate between looters stealing goods, and legitimate homeowners who were rescuing goods from their own house and transporting them to a safer place. (Actually it's a waste of time wondering, because nothing of the sort ever happened. Kyle was telling lies.)
In 2012 Kyle wrote a book (American Sniper) about his exploits in Iraq but people who knew him said that a lot of his stories were complete and utter bullshit.
Clint Eastwood produced a movie based on the book, but Kyle never got to see it, because Eddie Routh shot him in the head before the movie was released.

A lot of film critics panned the movie; not because it was poorly made (it wasn't) but because it was touted as a true story whereas, in fact, much of it was pure invention based on lies told by the sociopathic Kyle.
So here's Todd Starnes defending the liar and claiming that shooting looters in the back is exactly the sort of thing that Jesus would do. (And Christians get offended when their religion is sometimes described as a death cult!)
