That’s weird

UNBELIEVABLE..that sorry excuse for a bias judge is totally to blame. He set the tone with can't say 'Victim' and didn't allow charges that would have gotten jail time for KILLER KYLE!!!

He is an icon for the USA Constitution, and for every free man and woman's God given right to protect their lives from imminent death or bodily injury.

Sadly, this guy is going to make a fortune off these young men dying.

More murder there will be, by gun nuts.

Deplorables unite!!

He’s 18 years old now. I remember how right wing got all upset with 18 year old climate girl.

$$$$ in their eyes

NTHOL is Turkey's cheapest and the most promising stock. It is the largest group of hotels and casinos in the Mediterranean. It will earn at least 10x this year. You can buy 25% of the 13 biggest casinos in Europe for 100 million $. COME ON! handetibuk netholdingas TURKEY

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy will end in a hail of bullets himself

It is classical case a good guy with a gun.

There is something so fundamentally wrong with those people.

He's a tourist vigilante. If he hadn't been there, those people would be alive. There's nothing to celebrate.

No fan of this guy, but my gosh, someone kicks me, beats me, then points a loaded gun at me, I'd of done the same thing, unless suicidal.

Damn right, he's a hero. A King.

It's almost like those people want douchbags to look up to

Weakness of white men. True fearlessness doesn't need a gun.

This is pretty BASED

Americans are happy for him because truth won out over the hate filled left for once. The Police stood down on orders from their Democrat Mayors who let cities burn so their voters weren't arrested! Kyle did something about it and is to be commended!

I hate guns!

usa, “we” is something that will not happen even here. Get out!

F’ing gross
