‘Attitude problem’

Daniel Jenkins, a five-year employee of the plant, told KSHB that he smelled gunsmoke a few minutes after 5 p.m. and went to investigate. He said the gunman was “screaming obscenities, so I closed the door.”

Jenkins said he told colleagues about the gunman, “but they didn't believe me.”

“Another man came screaming out of another end of the building, screaming, ‘It’s true,’ and everyone came running out of the building,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins said he recognized the gunman, whom police described as a black man in his mid-30s, as an employee who had only recently been recalled to work after he had been laid off for about five months.

“He was real quiet and kept to himself,” Jenkins said. “He had a slight attitude problem.”

"He had a slight attitude problem"

With 5 people dead from his actions, What would a larger attitude problem produce?

So THAT'S why there's no national media coverage. Racial PC outweighs their hatred of guns.

That just seems to be a standard description for people who do things like this, doesn't it?

How sad for those families...

And there is the reason the story got relatively short shrift in the national media. It was covered on the "on the hour" radio broadcasts which I listened to as I drove across country.
