Well, look at it this way- what is their religious standing? Are they Muslim or Christian? I don't care if it's offensive. Political correctness killed soldiers at Ft. Hood. Did it also at the naval yard?

Nooz says he is Buhhdist with a history of a hair trigger temper and was currently receiving psychiatric services. Navy reservist vet with a General (?) Discharge who was working at the Navy Yard as a contract employee and PO'd about his job moving out of state - presumably he was unwilling to relocate.

The FBI has released this

Tell me those are both the same person. Go on, tell me. Then tell me the deal you can give me on a bridge and some oceanfront property in the Arizona/Nevada desert.

stay safe.

Wonder if the Anti's will ever admit that GC will not work??

Anyone who has ever played Doom knows why gun control won’t work…and this situation proves it.

Surprise/overpower a guard and take his pistol.

Shoot another guard and take his rifle and more ammo…
Wash rinse repeat.

From what I have read, he brought a shotgun, just upgraded from his victims and from whatever he found...video games and movies taught him well, it seems.

Skid, with all due respect, mugshots are not the height of the science of photography. This is going to sound somewhat racist, but is not intended as such: Black people, because of their skin color, can be very difficult, even with very good equipment, to photograph. What I see in the photo you posted is one underexposed photo and one slightly overexposed. It is the same person, though.

From the reports I've been seeing, this guy was diagnosed as insane(heard voices) and was not given the proper treatment because his security clearance would have been pulled!! It has also been alleged that the necessary background checks had either not been done or had been ignored.

Naturally, the antis and the media have glossed over the fact that D.C. has very strict gun control laws and that the Navy Yard is even more strict and are calling for more useless laws.

The news I saw said that he "tried" Buddhism. There was no indication in that report that he continued to be a Buddhist until the shooting.

From what I've read, and seen, heard, etc...He was only a contractor there for about a week. He may have had an interim Secret, which isbased on just a basic police and other agency background...No more than buying a gun. Nothing in depth..

Truth is, we all know getting on a base/compound with a gun is not real hard...With no specific goals, you are "the only game in town" so high counts are not an impossible achievement...

The best, actually only good thing about this latest shooting, is that once again, it was a double GFZ, and there was very little resistance...

Clear your minds...

Listen everyone. Our government has already proven it has zero morals when it comes to killing American Citizens, especially when it futhers whatever agenda they are trying to impose. We all need to stop and think about the things that are happening right now, both at home, and abroad. We have an Illegal-in-chief who is arming the enemy with our hard earned money, and then trying to pass them off to us as the good guys. On top of which, he is also attempting to go to war with the country when we have no earthly business being there. Bengazi, IRS, NDAA, Obamacare. Boston, Sandyhook, Aurora, and now D.C. Think about it. Whenever the tryant in the white house gets in over his head, something like this happens.

These are all distractions to keep our eyes, ears, and minds away from the **** that really matters. Whether they are perpetrated by, or allowed to happen by our government, or they truly are tragic instances where a "crazy" person decided to kill a bunch of innocent citizens, please do not be distracted.

In discussions of Snowden and now of Alexis some disparaging mention has been made of federal clearance background investigations that did not agree with my experience. So I looked, to discover that BJ Clinton issued 1995 Executive Order Number 12968.

http://www.opm.gov/investigations/background-investigations/reference/#url=Executive-Orders



What are you saying? Things easier pre-Clinton, or easier post Clinton? Wondering what you are going for here....Not much has changed in getting/using a clearance in the last 30 years that I can think of...E-qip made things faster/easier for updates, but that's just the digital age...

Aaron Alexis, 34, converted to Buddhism and liked to meditate .

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...s-identified-Wahington-Navy-Yard-shooter.html

.....a convert to Buddhism who was taking an online course in aeronautics.
http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/0...d-to-run-ins-with-police-over-past-shootings/

Alexis was a practicing Buddhist.
http://www.alternet.org/5-things-you-should-know-about-aaron-alexis

Suthametewakul said Alexis had converted to Buddhism and prayed at a local Buddhist temple.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/17/washington-naval-yard-shooting-suspect-arrested-guns

It would seem that Alexis did not follow the basic tenets of Buddhism: "Non-violence is at the heart of Buddhist thinking and behavior. The first of the five precepts that all Buddhists should follow is "Avoid killing, or harming any living thing."

Buddhism is essentially a peaceful tradition. Nothing in Buddhist scripture gives any support to the use of violence as a way to resolve conflict."

LOL....Dang Grape, are they the only cites you could find. Proves nothing.....Sorry, being a richard noggin.....Pretty quick too....

I'm not out to "prove" anything - merely adding to the profile of the man.

I do like your play on words - may borrow that sometime.

My first clearance upgrade was in 1970, apparently influenced by the appropriate EO of 1953, but very different in my recollection from what I'm hearing from the kidz. The up/down-grade process was quite transparent as my need-to-know changed with my career in Naval Nuclear Power.

Gotcha...Yeah, things have changed since the 80s and the way we do business. Clinton's crap didn't change our way of doing biz much...

It was enough to convince me that he was a practicing Buddhist--at least up until he went to VA. Clearly though he did not practice enough.

A Sick Society breeds Sick People. Just a shame that "Legally" armed Americans will be targeted once again over gun ownership.
