He was staying in an ‘extended stay’ hotel for over $200 a NIGHT!!!!!

Who was paying for that? His employer? That is over $6000 a month!!!

He was allegedly in the military for 4 years. What kind of ‘retirement’ did he think he was entitled to? IF he was getting payments for PTSD-—he had absolutely NO BUSINESS being given security clearances & being ‘on the inside’ of military things, either.

I am beyond sick & tired of the blacks in the USA thinking we all owe them a ‘lifestyle’ none of us live.

I live on less than $1100 a month total & he is living where the ‘rent’ is over $6000 a month?????

No wonder no one ‘inside the beltway’ understands what the feelings are in the rest of the country. This country is completely upside down.

Apparently, he just started a technical consultant position and had a clearance. Just think...getting that position and a clearance when he had a felony history, a mental health issue ongoing and was disgruntled. A little odd, I’d say.

Maybe he used buckshot? It is curious that he didn’t have more ammo than 15 rounds, although I did read in at least one report that he bought 24 rounds with the shotgun.

He was a HP subcontractor.

http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/16/20527513-what-we-know-about-alleged-shooter-aaron-alexis?lite

Alexis, 34, served in the U.S. Navy between May 2007 and January 2011, when he was discharged, a Navy spokeswoman said. More recently, he had served as a Naval reservist and had been working as a civilian contractor.

But investigators were looking into claims that he recently lost that position, which they say may have set him off.

Alexis’ father said his son was studying while working a computer job

Michael Thacker, a spokesman for Hewlett-Packard, confirmed that Alexis worked for a company called “The Experts,” a subcontractor working on an HP Enterprise Services job to refresh networking equipment for the Navy Marine Corps intranet. Thacker could not say whether Alexis was still employed by that company at the time of his death.

Law enforcement sources told NBC News that Alexis had come to Washington, D.C. in recent days and was one of six contractors on the IT project. He and five coworkers on the project were staying at the Residence Inn, the sources said.

From seeing the interviews with his roommate I have to guess that he was really very happy, as in gay.

As a former Marine, I have this to say about Alexis:
ANYONE who ever served in the US armed forces and got into as much TROUBLE as Alexis did while wearing their uniform and STILL received a FULL HONORABLE DISCHARGE should consider themselves one lucky bastard.

From what I’ve read on the internet and heard on talk radio, how in the heck did this guy receive a FULL HONORABLE DISCHARGE?!
