I can only assume that if they do any checking at all, they find that the person in question is either a black or a Muslim—or both—and give him a free pass.
We know that happened with Nidal Hassan, who had all sorts of questionable activities in his known army records, but was excused because they wanted to have more Muslims in key positions.
I would presume that in the present case, they knew the Navy shooter was black, and that was all that counted.
Affirmative action of the worst kind.

I agree. A definite double standard in effect.
