Anybody—looking for photos of shooting victims. Link or source. tnx
Anyone know what his political registration was? I’m sure it wasn’t Republican because that would have already been reported if it was.
He was from Texas right?
We have to wonder if this killer was treated as a ‘special’ category because of his melanin content. Would a white Navy reservist with the same history and mental symptoms still have a security clearance? Just askin’.
The WSJ also reports the perp was a “hardcore drinker,” which could easily explain the anger, and perhaps the video game binges, and perhaps more than that. I’d love to see stats on how many crimes are committed under the influence of alcohol. Some stats suggest that most of them are.
From the WSJ blog:
“Mr. Alexis was a “hardcore drinker,” he said, and was also skilled in videogames, which he would play for marathon sessions that lasted hours. “

Many or most accounts say that he used a false or stolen pass to get onto the base. Not so.
Now, why would the press so insistently get that wrong? Could it be because they don't want to discuss why this shooter continued to have access to the base long after his clearance should have been removed? The authorities, probably at a pretty high level, were responsible for ignoring his long and very public problems that should never have allowed him to buy a gun or hold a secret security clearance.
Anyone reminded of Nidal, the very similar shooter, who should have been kicked out of the military long before he went on jihad?
Obviously, these were two blatant cases of affirmative action of the worst kind. Two likely killers were allowed access to military bases because one was a Muslim, and the other was black.
The next shooter will probably be a crazy lesbian or something of the kind.
So once again let us not focus on mental illness but guns. Because we want the mentally ill to use other methods of killing, like gasoline, bombs, cars, trucks, knives, bats, machetes, poison,
Saying this guy was a Buddhist is like saying Charles Manson is a Christian.
God damn Buddhist fundamentalists...
Run-in with police in Rhode Island, disorderly conduct citation in Georgia, ...he is well traveled it seems...???
I’d like to know what happened to the two other shooters there.
What about that other black guy in miltary garb (whatever THAT mean) seen walking away after the shooting ... allegedly with a long item in hand, presumedly a long gun ?
