Navy Yard shooting: What we know and don't know
CNN.com ^ | September 18, 2013 | Ed Payne

Posted on 09/18/2013 7:20:33 AM PDT by Biggirl

(CNN) -- The one question we all desperately want answered may have gone to the grave with Aaron Alexis: Why? Why did he park at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, walk into Building 197, perch himself on an overlook above the atrium and open fire? The bullets that rained down killed 12 people and wounded eight others. Why?

With all due respect its clear CNN is NOT the place to go for answers on this incident (or any other, IMO)

The Obama administration needed a plan to finally push liberals into demanding disarmament. Enter Alexis (Oswald II) with a military background and a history of mental problems and gun incidents. The perfect patsy for the job. Mysteriously moves to DC, given a ‘Secret” security clearance at a Navy shipyard all one month before the shootings. Those microwave beams must have been filled with instructions...: )

I have a question. Is it true that all of his victims where white (Caucasian) or Asian, expect for the security guard he killed and took a gun from?

CNN AND THE REST OF THE PRESSTITUTES SHOULD BE NAILED FOR AIDNG AND ABETTING

Navy Yard shooter Alexis is a-n-o-t-h-e-r sap-happy Obam/Prog innovation. Kook/O gives out security clearances like they were Ecstasy pills. Since Prog/O got in, some 5 million Ohaha henchmen were given top security clearance. Ntl security be damned. How many other Alexis' are there in that bunch?

Shockingly, Alexis passed several military background checks, gained high-level security clearance and had access to multiple military installations. And BTW, Prog/O himself was given a race pass by the fellating presstitutes.

=========================================

Ntl security is further undermined by illegals being given a pass and a Democrat registration form by Prog/O and vote-crazed Dems. They're all at the Mexican border---millions of illegal thugs from Baku to Bogata---- salivating for amnesty, for US govt freebies. All of them "hyphenated American citizens" ----voting blocs registered to vote Dem.

As Michele Malkin opined: Forget gun control. America needs government control...she notes the common thread among several mass killings and homeland security incidents....

=============================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE

<><> the Clinton Administration disarmed our Armed Forces at military bases;

<><> tolerant and compassionate liberals closed our insane asylums, and put crazies like Alexis on the govt payroll;

<><> sap-happy liberals gave us the quota system; the best qualified flunk out; color, race, hyphenation, and genital preference get the jobs.

I gather he had been taking antidepressants. And this is where things get troublesome.

Chronic depression is by far the most common form of mental illness. People’s lives are ruined by it, and they are desperate to find some way of alleviating it.

Unfortunately, drugs that are strong enough to affect it can exacerbate other, hidden mental illness, in a tiny percentage of people. Which is why public mass killings are often associated with them.

However, like vaccines, the millions who are helped strongly outweigh the tiny number who are driven deeply and murderously insane, or as in the case of vaccines, have horrific or lethal side effects.

No, there were at least two blacks. One of them may have been the guard, but the other was not. He seemed to be discriminating by age. The average age of the vics was over 55.

A few points. A “Secret” is NOT a “high-level security clearance”, it’s a credit check and a criminal background check. And not everyone who’s been cleared since 2009 is an “Ohaha henchman”. Pretty much, every man and woman who signed up to serve has had at least a “Secret” run on them if not more. . .

. . .and open carry on bases ?? It wasn’t allowed LONG before Clinton. Back in the 1980s, if you were in barracks or the BOQ, you had to keep your guns at the MP/SP/AP Vault. Only people in Married Quarters, or living off-base were allowed to keep their weapons at home

I feel the USN shooter in DC was allowed to get as far as he’d did due to PC race baiting fears.
No one in authority wanted to finger this guy for being a loon and a looser because he was black.I feel every one in the food chain of background checks,public,private and USN disciplinary authority gave him a pass for fear of him,Alexus, making a race charge(s) and they did NOT wanting to deal with it.
They never court martialed him for bad behavior or spoke up at the VA about his paranoia.
Why?

Have you noticed how often a setback like this for the gun grabbers is quickly followed by some horrific event like we saw Monday?

Here’s a few more:

* Twelve dead, eleven were white;

* Within hours of the event, Leftist senators were burning the airwaves with calls for stricter gun laws, especially guns which were NOT involved in the shooting;

* MINITRUE reinforced the false narrative with panicky reporting, and inflammatory statements;

* We can expect vacuous statements from the regime, and near-total silence about the victims.

Did I leave anything out?

the PTB sensed that the shooter was crazy...enough to use ....race...to thwart thier actions....?

seems reasonable to me.

has America learned nothing.....from the race based Presidents rise to power based primarily ON his race?

yes.....the likelihood that the shooter had some sort of MENTOR or MENTORS who directed this path to chaos for their own purpose.

a guy who doesnt particularly like the US....DID like Obama and heard voices would likely be the perfect candidate for .....Manchurian Shooter.

would the regime do this? of COURSE they would.

the more bizarre the action the more likely the tyrants were behind it..somewhere

What we don't know: How he was able to get a security clearance with such a spotty background.

Dig around on the EEOC's website and I'm sure you'll find find where, in the last two years or so, criminal background checks were declared "discriminatory". That's how a guy with this record got clearance.

Being PC is no different than joining a suicide cult. Rule 1 in New America: White thoughts are worse than black actions.
Celebrate Diversity!" will one day take its place beside "Arbeit Macht Frei!" and "Workers of the World, Unite!"
