Suspect Who Murdered Navy Seal Tasered, Restrained After Assaulting Guards
2013-02-04
Police say Eddie Ray Routh, the 25-year-old suspect in the murder of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield, was tasered after becoming aggressive with jailers around dinnertime Sunday.

After eating dinner, Routh refused to return his food tray to jailers. He became aggressive and tried to attack them when they tried to get it back from him, said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant.

Jailers tasered Routh and placed him in a restraining chair in his solitary cell. He is on suicide watch, Bryant said.
This guy's mental state is currently somewhere between rabid dog and demon possessed.

#13  PSTD my a$$, just a nut job who doesn't deserve any help. I have no sympathy at ALL for Mr. Routh.

#11  Mr. KingKong, please understand that a number of Rantburg commenters are either currently serving, veterans, or veterans now serving as civilian contractors, like Besoeker. A number of them have earnt their ghoste in the night the hard way.

I, on the other hand, am no doubt what you would refer to as a no-life civvie, what with being a little Midwestern housewife and all, though I did once touch a competition target shooting rifle. Still, for some reason my family and friends are very protective of me, and would be distinctly unhappy if I were shot in the back while trying to help.

#10  Really a tragic outcome for Mr Kyle.
It's possible that the perpetrator has suffered head injuries during the war ... Traumatic Brain Injury. Literally, his brain may not be right - at all.

#9  What problem does "KingKong" underscore?

#8  It is a tragedy that Chris Kyle and his friend were shot. Eddie Ray Routh underscores the need for addressing problems vets have as they come back from combat.

#6  That trip to the range was the whole point of what Kyle was doing: trying to de-sensitize PTSD's. My own younger son came back from Iraq with a reaction to what let's call 'loud noises'. Took him a while to work through it but he did. When I talked to him (son) about this event, he said "You never know if the dog's gonna bite til it does".

#5  and Kyle don't deserve to get shot, but hell... he took a nutcase with PTSD to a rifle range? WTF?

Can't help thinking we should add him to the list of disturbed vets who killed themselves. Wouldn't a trip to Dairy Queen and a movie have been a better choice?

#4  Come on, if he greased some no-life civvie or some paki you'd be crying over that?

The guy is traumatized, he's a victim, his brain ain't right.
