So far as I know, they’re still looking for a second person, so perhaps he fell in with some angry ideology that “justified” this and made him feel that he was doing something heroic.

Could very well be, and it wouldn't surprise me to discover it was Islam. I would also think that his parents had high expectations that he couldn't fulfill. My model is Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

Although she emerged unscathed, Pat said she would have felt safer if she had been permitted to carry her own gun to work.
‘I’m a gun owner, and so is my husband,’ Pat said, ‘but I work in D.C. so I can’t carry a weapon. Now I wish they would let us do it anyway. I felt like a fool walking around unarmed after shots were fired.’

“the heavily armed gunman”

9mm and AR15/M4 used in the terrorist attack were supplied by the obama administration and were acquired by murdering a guard and taking his licensed and government issued weapons.

It was acquired by the gunman shooting a guard and killing him and then stealing his AR15/M4 and 9mm. obama supplied these weapons so I guess he is guilty of enabling gun violence.

The US press are traitors... Tass and Pravda contain more truth than any large US Newspaper and the British newspapers have been on top of reality USA for years.

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

His service appears to have been unremarkable: Alexis was given the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, two awards of relatively minor distinction, before his discharge. The spokeswoman had no other details on the grounds for his discharge.

In Texas, a former roommate, Oui Suthamtewakul, said he did not think Alexis had a beef with the military or the government, and that he “could not be the shooter.”

Suthamtewakul, who owns a Thai restaurant in Fort Worth, said he had kept in touch with Alexis via text in the four months since he had left Fort Worth for Washington.

Alexis’ father, Algernon Alexis, seemed stunned.

“This comes as a complete shock,” he told a reporter for the Reuters news service, then asked how he could reach authorities leading the investigation. The father said his son was studying and working the computer job for a private company.
