Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was 'not happy with America,' friend says

FORT WORTH, Texas — Aaron Alexis was so unhappy with his life in America — where he was beset by money woes and felt slighted as a veteran — that he was "ready to move out of the country" last year, a friend said Tuesday.

"He was tired of dealing with the government," said Kristi Suthamtewkal, whose husband owns the Thai Bowl Restaurant in Fort Worth, where Alexis worked in exchange for room and board.

But instead of leaving the U.S., the former Navy reservist relocated from Texas to Virginia, where an IT company called The Experts put him on a government contract at the Washington Navy Yard.

A day after Alexis, 34, gunned down 12 people at the yard, new details emerged of his troubled past — from his preoccupation with 9/11 to recent mental problems that included hearing voices in his head.

Investigators said Tuesday that a preliminary probe has turned up no evidence that Alexis participated in rescue operations at Ground Zero, as his father once told police.

He felt like he had been cheated out of money from the contract and complained that he was mistreated because he was black, Kristi Suthamtewkal said.

"He felt a lot of discrimination and and racism with white people especially," she said.

What an effin’ crybaby.

Sure glad I’m not him ...a miserable, sniveling coward whose legacy will be whining about how bad his life is and then shooting 13 people dead.

Time to lock these rejects up so they can’t hurt anyone anymore.

I would like to know how exactly he wound up moving from TX to DC to take that particular job.

Was a Professor Raoul X somewhere in the background making arrangements?

It’s the parallax view of history.

There’s his first mistake. Listening to anything Obama has said.

I read the names of the victims. Were they all white? We keep hearing different facts... no AR.. maybe one of biden’s 12 guages.. some security guard’s sidearm. As usual, we won’t get the truth, just the agenda. One thing they are not repeating is this is a Gun Free zone, in a Gun Free city. The laws are not working. I can’t wait to hear how they are going to work the Texas angle. They hate TX, even though it’s going purple.

But it wasn't HIS fault, it was the GUN'S fault, so say the gun grabbers.

Its these mentally disturbed individuals who can go over the edge when Obama makes his routinely divisive comments to incite

Did Obama’s divisive racial Rhetoric over Travon Martin motivate the Aaron Alexis shooting?(9/17/2013 )

After this, all vets who feel upset with how they are being treated or who have money problems will be probably be put on a terrorist watch list. I smell a Zimmerman type setup.

Racism, smacism. I remember when Omar Thornton murdered 9 people in CT. The MSM tried to make it seem like it was justified because of 'racism'.

It took the article awhile to get to the nut of the matter - this guy went off because America is so racist.

In other words, the constant racial agitation & harping by politicians, the news media and Hollywood claims another 12 victims.

Per CNN:

“His last known address was outside of Fort Worth, where he was roommates for three years with Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, who described Alexis as his best friend.”

Having a first name like his former room mate would be enough to drive anyone over the edge!

“After he returned from a contract job in Japan in Nov. 2012, he didn’t seem as easy-going, though.”

If he thought Whitey was racist then he obviously found out being in Japan that the Japanese are way more racist!

He was an Aviation Electrician’s Mate in the Naval Reserves, so he attended some very good technical schools.

And he wasn’t white. Ding ding ding!

“He did have the tendency to feel like people owed him something all the time.”

Like many Black people do who have been Socialized by collectivist/Dem Whitey McCracker-Honkeys by taking government entitlements. He didn’t like government yet he couldn’t stay off the plantation.
