I don't think they can, legally speaking. People died in that instance and when that happens there's a legal process that has to happen. They might be able to get the charges dismissed because it's clearly a case of self defense, but I doubt they'll be able to get it dismissed based on claims of the case being brought against him for political purposes. Kyle killed people (entirely justified though it may have been) and that requires that investigations and court proceedings happen no matter how justified the killing(s) were.

As always with the left, its all in the particulars. The legal process for a death, especially one with a firearm, has to go through legal scrutiny.

However, the left took Kyle to extreme heights, to make an example of him, even though he did everything right (fired only in self defense, submitted to police custody ASAP). A good judge would recognize the persecution going on and fast track a decision instead of the beleaguered proceedings that have been taking place. Its a real travesty that an altercation that took place on tape, showing aggression with intent to kill, could not be so summarily dismissed.

The people were chasing were definately trying to jump him.

It's disparity of force, a person got to be blind to not see that from the video.

The left is bascially trying to make a example out of him, to squash any hopes of legal use of 2nd amendment.

Some dick I was talking to said that he shot unarmed people, once I said the person he shot in the arm was going to shoot him he comes out with the fake news bullshit.............till I showed him the photo where he is on his knee still holding the pistol, then he comes out that it could have been doctored, until I then showed the clip....he finally admitted that he was carrying a pistol, then I hit him since you were wrong on that how much more are you wrong on?
