Active shooter at D.C. Navy yard

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I think the point is that the media always tries to portray these but jobs as conservative gun lovers who go to church and drive a pickup not a Prius.

but all the recent whack jobs have been very left.

i think it says something about their sides mindset. It doesn't mean all of them liberals are whack job killers but they are all whack jobs in my opinion.

Freudian slip?

Right on cue now comes the blame it on video games theories....It's odd my teenage son plays these same games all the time and loves guns but has yet to kill anyone? Hmmm, something must be wrong with him and his friends!

Among the emerging details about Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was the fact that the former Navy reservist was obsessed with military-style video games, according to one of his friends, Michael Ritrovato.
"It got so bad -- was in his room all the time. ... He'd be late for work," Ritrovato told ABC News . "The reason was because he was staying up all night playing video games."

As stated before, GTA5 just came out yesterday. I thinks its going to break video game sales records so it should get bad here soon

Besides the victims, and their families, I feel sorry for the families of the shooter(s).
I mean, imagine waking up and the press in hounding you because your sibling or child had done this.
Then there's the people that say, "well, maybe you should have done a better job".
Maybe they should have. But there are people that do right, and still have bad children/siblings.

So he was a nutter.
And they're pushing the "He played violent video games" angle REALLY hard today.

I hereby call for the merger of the Pro-gaming and Pro-gun crowds to fight off ridiculous journalism.

I already belong to both.

I'm in.

It worked so well in Benghazi that they thought it would be good here too is all I can figure.

Possibly, but I don't think they were running guns out of the Navy yard. I could be wrong.

Heard about this on the radio this morning. No idea why a police dept would be asked to step down from defending the unarmed

Maybe they had a problem bringing in a large amount of strangers into an area with a lot of classified material?
