My son works across the street in the Navy Yards. He's safe. Of course, the big question "how do you bring a rifle into the Naval Yards (unless you're authorized to)?

Other reports claim three fatalities.

Off-duty NYPD cop?

Drudge says 4 killed - 8 injured.

I hope Abby is safe.

Is this a good time to go looking for work there?

Gotta be one of those white supremacists! Always is!

Not me! I'm babysitting, currently taking a nap with the granddaughter.

If I were going to shoot up a Navy yard, I'd dress up as the construction worker, or maybe the Indian chief.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

How long before the party loyalty media start blaming the Tea Party?

Methadras said...

Hopefully this won't be a diversity shooting story.

Sounds like he could look like Obama's son if he had one.

Probably has something to do with the recall effort in Colorado.

The timing of this shooting .... im not given to conspiracy... but...

@Shouting Thomas
Your daughter allows you to babysit?!

Icepick said...

Seeral news agencies seem to be reporting that there are two shooters. If that holds up this is a much more interesting story.

And Lem, I don't understand what's so interesting about the timing of this shooting spree. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but if you could explain I'd appreciate it.

Another "Trayvon"?

ricpic said...

...the big question "how do you bring a rifle into the Naval Yards (unless you're authorized to)?

The authorized part makes it highly likely the shooter(s) is a Naval Yard worker.

The Dude said...

fionamcgee - does the drunken bint allow her consort to babysit her grand children? Does she have grand children?

Are you saying that her son who turns tricks in West Hollywood has not produced an asshole baby yet?

All I can say is - keep trying, dude, it can't turn out any worse than that pile of shit your "mother" is "married" to.

Dude, get a grip. You sound demented.

The Dude said...

Thanks. So do you.

I'm an expert.

I could even change your diaper!

@Shouting Thomas
Good, I'm relieved to know that. I'm impressed with your sense of humor. You need to impart some of that to your buddy Sixty Grit.

The Dude said...

fiona is just a frustrated old dried up cunt who has no grand children of her own and likes to strike out at others.

Years of working in an insane asylum has rendered her as crazy as a crazy old cat lady.

The Dude said...

He said he could change your diaper, which you tacitly admit to wearing, not that he would change your diaper. Better to lit you sit in your own shit.

Still trying to guess who I am? By your comments I know you haven't a clue. This could be fun.

Icepick said...

Carerful, Sixty. She might think you're engaging in foreplay. And that goes double for you, ST!

The Dude said...

I think you have no idea who you are.

You don't really even know if I am male or female, do you?

It's been fun, tata for now! See you later, I'll be watching you Sixty Grit, you're an interesting specimen in a study of pathology.

Has Chris Matthews blamed "Republican Obstructionism" TM yet?

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Our unbelievably unprofessional hack media once again reports without confirmation, then retracts.

Pathetic.

Icepick said...

AprilApple, CNN has reported that they've never heard of a shooting like this at a military facility before.

Big surprise.

yashu said...

(Some of us know exactly who the troll is, but it's not worth mentioning its name-- and impolite to use four-letter words of Germanic origin. I can only speak for myself, but my wish is: don't feed it. It's pushing buttons; why give a tiresome troll exactly what it wants?)

The Dude said...

You are correct Yashu and I apologize for using strong language, even though it is applicable.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

The shooters identity has been reported by CNN as Erin Alexis, Texan military contractor.

Anonymous said...

Yashu, you don't think bringing in Althouse's sons impolite? That doesn't speak well of you, my dear.

"Son who turns tricks in West Hollywood"

To not address such despicable behavior, while calling attention to a commenter or comments far less vile makes me question your judgement.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Google comes back with a girl.

That cant be right.

Women don't do mass shootings.

The shooter's name is Aaron Alexis... I heard Erin.

You are the first to mention Althouse - what led you to believe that I was referring to her or her offspring?

You seem to know more than you are letting on, or else you are a bigot. A homophobe.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Drudge has photo of shooter up.

yashu said...

Totally irresponsible, baseless, premature speculation on my part: radical Muslim convert, or just plain insane, or both, or neither? Workplace violence, psychotic break, jihad?

Of course, he could also be a Tea Partier.

bagoh20 said...

"Obama promised to make sure "whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.""

Icepick said...

Have they narrowed it down to one shooter yet?

yashu said...

One person was cleared, but I believe (from what I gather) they're still looking for someone else.

Horrible.

Maybe he wanted a Rolling Stone cover. I'm not even kidding.

There is a photo of Drudge shooting up ;)

"Alexis’ former roommate described the man as an even-keeled Buddhist who never showed signs of aggression."

"He was such a nice guy," he said.

McDaniel, who owns a furniture store next to Happy Bowl, said the last time he saw Alexis was the day before he moved to Washington. Alexis tried to get him to buy his furniture, he said.

"He seemed like he was real happy and excited about what was going on," McDaniel said.

McDaniel said the shooting left him even more puzzled because he had conversations with Alexis about Islamic extremism and the Fort Hood shooting. He thought they both agreed it was a horrible tragedy, he said.

"It could have all been a ruse -- I don't know," he said.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Yes- It's an exclusive! Drudge caught red handed shooting up.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

ha ha.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

The Sec of the Navy said the lives of the people killed, (I'm paraphrasing)...although they weren't soldiers, they were just as valuable as if they were soldiers lost in Iraq or Afghanistan.

They must have a checklist.

The shooter spoke Thai.

If a city re-elected me for 83 consecutive terms, I'd consider it pretty safe.

Is this going to be classified as workplace violence?

Did he keep himself to the 10 round ammo per magazine regulation? How did he get a weapon in DC? It's ILLEGAL BY GOD!!!

On the way home from town my husband told me that a friend of ours works at the Navy Yard, or did. I didn't know that.

Turd dropped from Sixty Grit's mouth, found on Althouse picture thread. Yet he denies disparaging Althouse sons here, when he thinks I'm Althouse. This is your guy Yashu. Embrace him.

Yeah when some people show up it always brings you down.

I think Syria should be for the Syrians. They should stay in Syria and handle their own business. We really don't care about them so they should leave us alone and we should leave them alone.

The Dude said...

Wait, what? You are using my handle now, fiona? You really shouldn't do that.

As for here - you mentioned Althouse, not me.

She is a lovely person, I am almost certain of that.

Anonymous said...

@ Sixty Grit
I'm glad to see you went back to Althouse and deleted it Sixty Grit, what possessed you to drop that turd there anyway? You can drop them here all you want and no one but I and a few others will call you on your behavior.

Your deletion there may be display some deep spark of humanity in you. How can you be so kind and loving to animals and so completely soulless when it comes to your fellow humans?
