re: #144 Dark_Falcon

Lord, what the racists are going to do with this one. Most mass shootings are committed by white men, but now that one was committed by a black man the racism is liable to come on quick. Frankly, I think one of the talk show hosts may finally cross the line and openly call President Obama the n-word over this one.

/shakes head sadly and wonders how it all came to this.

Stuff is still trickling out about this guy. Just read a little while ago that he had secret-level clearance and a CAC. He’d been cleared to start working for “The Experts,” a HP subcontractor handling the Navy and Marine intranet.

If anything, this actually makes Snowden’s vetting look competent by comparison. Guy’s had two incidents involving a gun, one where he admited he was acting out of blind rage, and been charged both times even though they didn’t seem to go to trial. His dad’s been on the TV tonight saying that his son had anger issues and apparently the second gun discharge was the final straw with the Navy who bounced his ass out on a less than honorable discharge. But he qualified for secret-level clearance. Now I know that they don’t really start going Rotor-Rooter on your background until top-secret or above, but there should have been enough there to at least question if giving this guy clearance was a good idea.
