He had a contract job at the DFW base but it ended and he got another one in Washington. Friend in FtW says he was not happy with the Washington contractor.

I am sure the dems and Obama are working on that TP now. Will be hard seeing that the perp was employed by private company.

My son attended Embry-Riddle.

He’s from Texas.

He’s in the military

He has guns.

In Libland...he’s probably a terrorist! *rolling eyes*

I’m betting the shooter is a violent version of Bradley “Chelsea” Manning, and that he went on a shooting spree because his boyfriend jilted him.

Didn’t a major media magazine publish a photo of OJ Simpson that made him look less black ?

The opposite actually. Time magazine made the entire image darker but this had the effect of also making him blacker.

I heard on Fox that the bullet that misfired went through his ceiling and in the apt above him. Apparently, he had problems with the lady who lived above him and she was terrified of him. (ahem - accidental?)

So I guess Obama will say it’s workplace violence? Man made kinetic action?

The British press conducts investigative journalism while the American press waits for talking points from the White House.

Very strange...brother in law claims he never met or had contact with Alexis.

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/aaron-alexis-shooting-washington-navy-new-york-city-223962341.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_NYBrand

The family is “distraught,” Anthony Little, the suspect’s brother-in-law told NBC 4 New York.

“It’s a shocking experience, nobody expected this,” he said. “No one saw it coming, no one knew anything. So all of this is just shocking.”

Little, who is married to Alexis’ sister, said he’d never met the alleged gunman or had contact with him. He implored the media gathered outside his family’s home Monday to “back off a little bit, give the family a chance to deal with this process.”

Thanks Worm, looks like one drive by script is eliminated with no combat. I will keep my eyes out for the next one. Tea Party eliminated as we all know he is black and the media has told us they are not allowed in the tea party LOL.

Fox, Jonathan Hunt:

2004 - Seattle - shot out tires incident - Alexis said he suffered from “an anger-fueled blackout.” Alexis also said he was “present during the tragic events of 911.”

Father said son “was an active participant in rescue attempts of 911.”

2010 - bullet thru ceiling incident. Neighbor said he had complained several times that she was making too much noise.
