    Yes sir if I was on the jury I would be awarding the kid and his father a large sum of money for the school security daring to have some questions and concerns about the complete lack of emotional empathy that both the kid and his father was showing toward his fellow dead classmates and their families.

    Just because something is completely legal and of not normally of concern such as enjoying yourself at a gun range does not mean that those who are responsible for the ongoing safety of the school did anything wrong in having a meeting with the kid.

    yeah...lets start hauling people in for doing legal things. Sorry but their over emotional reaction to a situation doesnt mean they get to vilify people for legal activities. If people going to a gun range upsets them or anyone else, I suggest seeing a dr to get meds to try and get back to being normal.

    Sorry the kid was called in for a meeting and not harm in any way or in any manner an he was free not to answer any of their questions for that matter.

    Both he and his father made his visit to the gun range a matter of public record.

    The police have every right in this world to have a talk with the kid base on his actions that he himself made public.

    Wrong...you arent allowed to haul people in to interrogate them based on the fact you dont like the legal activity they are doing on their own time. He made no threats whatsoever. Maybe you could cite where in the constitution it says this. Last time I checked guns were legal. Hitler would be proud though. Id ponder why I was agreeing with Hitler if it were me but hey....maybe we should question people on internet forums for anti american statements. Agree?

    It's weird.

    Every time there is a mass shooting, gun nuts tell us that it has nothing to do with gun control, we can't limit access to weapons, 2d amendment, blah blah, we should instead be focusing on stopping the nuts who do this shooting.

    Yet whenever an officer wants to do something to investigate something suspicious involving a kid with guns, they scream "Nazis!".

    supporting people who haul innocent people in for questioning of lawful constitutional activities. Seems the FBI should be aware of these people. especially the people who did this to this kid who did absolutely nothing wrong. Its leftism run amok. These people are traitors.

    So, what is it exactly that Kyle did that you would deem to be suspicious activity? Having a gun? Going to a gun range with his father? Posting about going to a gun range with his father on his Twitter account? Last I recall all of those thing are legal and typically harmless. Did he threaten anyone at the gun range? Has he threatened anyone at his school?

    I'm trying to see what some here seem to think is threatening behavior from this kid and I'm not seeing it. Hauling a kid in like this reeks of authoritarianism, and it's a bit scary that there are some so called liberals here that seem to be okay with this type of police action. Stalin would be proud.

    Then show me where in the tweet their "concern" was, if threat is too strong a word for you.

    What was the thing that made them want to have a "conversation" about the tweet.

    They're not ousting him because those are the Democrats who voted him in.

    To fire him would mean their worldview is wrong, and nothing in liberal ideology is stronger than the desire to avoid reality.

    I don't know, I'm not familiar with all the details of the case.

    What makes you believe that the cop just decided to investigate him? Because he shoots gun at a range?

    I am a liberal and I agree with your statements. There was no reason for the police to be involved in this what so ever. The people that seem to be in favor of this police action are not liberals, they are authoritarians.

    So your theory is that police decided to investigate him for no reason at all?

    Then maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions, or make assertions that Kyle was doing something suspicious involving a gun, or guns.

    The cops probably investigated him based on someone most likely calling in and making a false claim. The cops should have ignored the complaint. If cops acted on every complaint we'd need thousands more cops. This was an authoritarian move by the police and its scary that some are in favor it.

    Yes, I am what most would call a classical liberal. It's a shame that authoritarians have hijacked that label and give true liberals a bad name.

    So you have no theory as to why the police would have an interest in him.

    Of course I do.

    He went on TV saying guns weren't the problem, supported the 2A, and has said in interviews the police department was the problem....not guns.

    Good for him. Thousand do. What is your proof that is the sole reason he was investigated?

    The kids statements and the actual tweet he sent out.

    Is there any evidence, at all, that he should have been questioned?

    None has been shown.

    I agree. The Democrat party from the Bill Clinton era would probably be referred to as Nazi's now.
