Active shooter at D.C. Navy yard

[Hotdoger]

In 2004, he was arrested in Seattle for shooting the tires of someone’s car during an anger-fueled ‘blackout’.
‘He said that he didn’t remember pulling the trigger of his firearm until about one hour later,’ according to the Seattle police report.
Later he said that he felt the intended victim ‘disrespected him’.

Reports just in. There appears to have been at least one shooter.

I very much agree!!! Usually its cops we discuss this sort of thing about just because they make the flame news more. But even as a vet i feel exactly the same about the military. Everyone is not a hero. People can have their own personal heros but the media just uses the memory of these people to sell papers. Shameful!

We need to save this word for real heroes.It takes courage and heroic actions to become one.
Getting shot while eating breakfast even if you're wearing a Navy uniform is not heroic.
I hope I dont sound harsh to the victims or to any service member by saying that.

Agree! Perhaps the cop who put this mad dog down is worthy of that word.

Yep, im sure some of those people are heroes.
That includes people who offered first aid to the victims, instead of fleeing, even though the shooter was still around.
But using the word "hero" as a generic term to call all the victims is not right IMO.

That is the new response to idiotic and savage behavior. He/they disrespected me. Respect is earned not handed out.
I have experienced this response myself. When told I was dissing them my response was "How, I do not know you and you have not earned any yet" .....They rumbled a bit and just dropped it.

Not one but 2 incidents involving discharging a firearm (tires since he was dissed and shot through the neighbor's floor it sounded like), and this guy got his security clearance updated last summer? Working for a defense contractor at the Navy Yard but had another ID? Who in the hell worked this guy's background investigation?


I'm drawing a comparison with Charles Whitman (Univ of Texas in 66) on this one. The now dead murderer doesn't seem like a Nidal Hassan type, wrong religion. Not like Tucson, Denver or Newtown. Time to wait and see I guess.

You scared me, I thought it was my fault at first!

You mean you agree on the hero thing?

You are right on with the hero thing.






But my comment was because of this quote. I was just agreeing with you that it was all your fault about the "shooter" thing.

Good point, even though im guilty of doing that myself.

Although I think I mentioned "shooter" a few times earlier myself.................and in this post.

Ah!

I thought about it after I saw a video by/with Rob Pincus.
He was visiting a school and talking to the kids about mass shootings in schools, how to protect themselves and such.
In this video he talked about "shooter" vs "murderer" and taught the kids the difference and how he was a shooter but not a murderer, how guns owners were not all evil people and such.
I thought it was a very nice video and a very good point he made.

[rambone]

So we have another democrat shooter? How many have that been this year?

How did you obtain his voting record so fast?

 

[Duke Short]

Well one thing for sure. This mess is going to get bad quick.

Well, they can go ahead and take a look inside mine, but I'm warning you in advance they won't find much.

That's the case for many of us.Well they might find thoughts about food, boobs and guns I guess.

I have been avoiding this all day. Trying to get things done with a good attitude. Another simple minded A$$ hat goes on a shooting spree.

Crap, will this never end.

Facebook comment found on USA Today article:

When is the NRA going to launch a funeral fund raiser for the innocent victims of this horrible gun violence?

 

[Hoosierkav]

Just another notch in the case for the push to put mental health as a qualifier for gun ownership, methinks.

It is so hard to watch the news without a grossly pessimistic point of view.

Hero is just another 4 letter word to the media.

This reminds me to send more money to the nra. Gfzs get people killed.

I see now they are saying that he went in armed with only a shotgun and picked up the AR and pistol along the way.
Gunman kills at least 12 at Washington Navy Yard, gathering weapons along the way - U.S. News
