The suspect who police say killed 9 people at a San Jose, California, light railyard Wednesday morning was due to attend a disciplinary hearing that day over claims of racist remarks he made on the job about co-workers, according to reports.

Police identified Samuel Cassidy, a maintenance worker, as the man who gunned down his co-workers at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) facility around 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Cassidy appeared to be a "highly disgruntled VTA employee for many years, which may have contributed to why he targeted VTA employees," the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Thursday. Cassidy had worked at the VTA for nine years.

Skelly hearings are always tense. Always a good idea to have a security guy sitting in.

For others unfamiliar:

What is a Skelly hearing?

A “Skelly” is a hearing which must be provided to an employee prior to the imposition of discipline. Generally, Skelly’s must be provided in the case of termination, demotion, suspension, reduction in pay and transfer with an accompanying loss in pay. An employee’s Skelly rights entitle the employee to due process consisting of: (1) notice of the intended disciplinary action; (2) a copy of all materials upon which the action is based (including material which was available for review by the individual responsible for imposing discipline, regardless of whether such information was, in fact, reviewed); and, (3) an opportunity to respond orally or in writing to an impartial reviewer prior to the effective date of the disciplinary action. Pursuant to State Personnel Board Rule 52.3 an employee must be served with a Notice of Adverse Action at least five (5) days prior to the effective date. The “Skelly” Officer must have the authority to modify (or at a minimum recommend modification) of the adverse action.

Remember when President Obama shrugged off the Ft. Hood terrorist attack as “workplace related violence”?

Such a waste of union muscle. Their thugs routinely beat up innocent people at political rallies, when they should be beefing up security at their own gatherings.

Just an evil POS who could not handle the own reality of his self-imposed dead end life.

Interesting. Is the word “skelly” short for something?

False flag operation until proven otherwise. FBI leading candidate.

The default position is: the government and government media are lying. Start there are work back.

The FBI won’t tell us what kind of drugs they put him on when they sent him in there. Yes I believe most of these incidents are orchestrated by our public masters

So not only was he a mass murderer but he was a white supremacist too, which to a leftist is even worse.

So they let him off the murder charges so he could be disciplined for his mean comments, right?

“The FBI won’t tell us what kind of drugs they put him on when they sent him in there.”

How exactly does the FBI take a normal human being and convince them to be a mass-shooter?

Plenty of evil sick and twisted souls out there without any help needed from the FBI. Where do you think the FBI recruits from?

Even worse than his mean language and mass murdering spree, he used illegal 12-15 round magazines!

I suppose the gun-grabbers logic here is had he used lawful 10 round mags, there would have been less deaths.

So I guess he wasn’t a Trump supporting Republican since we still don’t know anything about his background.
