It'll be funny when the gun is blamed, but not the assh0le, the ID card, or the failed employment screening. And you can rest assured that no blackivist leader will speak against anything but abstract "violence" and guns.

And how inconvenient for 0bama that he's not Syrian. Sure wouldn't be "workplace violence" then!

Not to hijack, but I thought popular opinion in the Zimmerman case was in favor of Zimmerman. Only the media and the race-baiting industry tried to make it seem otherwise.

Makes you wonder how many more "lone wolves" are out there waiting for their turn to inflict terror, doesn't it?

Isolated incident, you say? Workplace violence? Maybe he didn't get the raise he deserved? I know; somebody swiped his red stapler.

No conspiracy theories from me. But if you think we've seen the last of this type of incident, you're mistaken.

The wolf is always at the door.

OCCUPATION: Worked for The Experts, a subcontractor on an HP Enterprise Services contract to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet network. Navy reservist from 2007-2011; left as a petty officer 3rd class, stationed in Fort Worth. He was discharged from the Navy following a "pattern of misconduct," a U.S. defense official said. The military is reviewing his files. After discharge, worked as a waiter and delivery driver at the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, until May 2013.

ARREST RECORD: In September 2010, Alexis was arrested on suspicion of discharging a firearm within city limits after a neighbor reported she was nearly shot by a bullet fired from his downstairs apartment. He told police his gun accidentally discharged while he was cleaning it, and no charges were filed. In May 2004, he was arrested in Seattle for shooting out the tires of another man's vehicle in what he later described to detectives as an anger-fueled "blackout."

This guy (new so not sure about the word I want to use) has made people like Janet calling us vets potential terrorists even more emboldened. It really pisses me off even though I am not involved.

You are correct.

My problem was the police said the shooting was justifiable/excusable based on all the evidence. It was the lib media and race-baiting profiteers that bitched enough that the Justice Department to force an arrest and trial stating it was a race issue. That is still being pushed at the federal level even today.

There will be no opportunity for anything to unfold here because the attacker is dead, but rest assured, someone will eventually spin this as the shooter is a victim of circumstance, up-bringing and the world trying to hold him down.

The Obama/Demorat (spelling intentional) narrative on this one will be that all vets have PTSD and should not be allowed to own firearms.

Hmmmm..... All vets have PTSD?? Well; if he turns around and tries to claim that; his head is really up his ass. Wasn't it just last week that he wanted to drop bombs on Syria.. Oh yeah; that's right, he did say "no boots on the ground"....I think it is time we impeach him. All of us Americans should take into effect the recalls in Colorado. If it could happen at a state level; it could also happen at a National level if there was enough support as a whole. Wonder if this was another one of those Obama conspiracies so that he would try to have another leg to stand on as far as his policies on gun control.......

I have been watching the news about this today. I am so sick and tired of people saying we have a gun problem and this is a senseless mass shooting that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for guns.

Don't people get it? Its not guns! Its evil people! Wake up America!

If this guy didn't have a gun, it would have been a bomb, or arson, or some other means. Timothy McVeigh is a great example. The 3 biggest mass killing in America, evil men used airplanes as weapons. The next 3 biggest mass killings, the killers used explosives.

The biggest killing involving elementary school kids totaling 38 elementary school children and 6 adults as well as injuring 58 other people was all done by one crazy guy who planted dynamite bombs all around the school.

But its the GUNS!

Jesus Christ give me the strength to suffer these fools.

@marc - yup, but because of those explosives, people get the hairy eye for buying fertilizer in bulk (yes, it impacts folks like gentleman farmers who actually farm some acreage), buy lye (like my wife who makes soap), etc. The swath of it goes beyond just guns. I'm kinda wondering if we'll have to register the number of fowl being raised because with their droppings being available, just add a little sulfur, charcoal....
And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell!

I'm sure there was at least one day this year where 12 people were killed in Chicago but you didn't hear anything about that.
