Aaron Alexis, U.S. navy yard shooter, among the 13 dead
Former naval reservist discharged following misconduct, says official

A 34-year-old gunman opened fire at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington on Monday in a shooting that left 13 people dead at the busy military installation not far from the U.S. Capitol and the White House, officials said.

The suspect, identified by the FBI as Aaron Alexis of Fort Worth, Texas, was among the dead and authorities said they were searching for another possible gunman wearing military-style clothing.

Alexis received a general discharge from the Navy Reserve in 2011 after a series of misconduct issues, according to a Navy official who spoke on condition on anonymity.

The official declined to provide details on the types of misconduct in Alexis' record.

Earlier, officials said they were looking for two men, but then said police had established one of them was not a suspect in the shooting, which began at about 8.30 a.m.

Investigators said they had not established a motive for the shooting rampage, which unfolded less than seven kilometres from the White House.

U.S. President Barack Obama mourned yet another mass shooting in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American patriots. Obama promised to make sure "whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible."

i used to live a few blocks from that place and my dad called me today to say i bet that hits a bit close to home and i didnt have the heart to tell him that i was rooting for the shooters because anyone working in that building is complicit in the coordinated murder of thousands upon thousands of people whose only crime is being born in a country that is strategically relevant to the amurrcan sphere of influence

what these person/people did is not something to root for. the only thing they did is help justify the perpetual state of exception that much more. if it had come out that they had radicalized a bunch of other soldiers and performed a massive act of sabotage, or even if they had picked a high value target, ok, yes root. but so what if this coincides with the indigenous anti-troop position, that shouldnt make it "de facto" (that's latin) praiseworthy to the tribe.

i am just not sure what sort of revolution you see happening with massive amounts of military or police defection to the revolutionary cause. probably the really bad kind of revolution that has lots of warlords and violent repression.

i mean i guess i dont care as much about motives as i appreciate his choice of target? if youre going to shoot a bunch of people its probably better to shoot the logistical support system for the ruthless killing machine that is the most powerful military force on earth as opposed to a movie theater full of people watching the blockbuster hit of the summer.

crazy people in america are going to shoot people, thats a fact. at least its somewhat pointed in the right direction

i was reading a bunch of Democrat Facebook Group posts earlier today about how Republican pundits are suffering from "Obama Derangement Syndrome" for siding with Putin over Obama on this Syria thing and literally 90% of the entire discussion was them calling the GOP communist sympathizers and accusing Putin of being a "closet homo" for riding shirtless on a horse. Thats todays Liberal Update

haha yeah i remember that their argument was basically "toyota's giving us a few thousand to make a record with no strings attached beyond a logo on the album cover" as if having a budget is something normal or desirable in grindcore

scene politics are gay but i admit feeling a bit conflicted over agoraphobic nosebleed/pig destroyer given that scott hull is a lockheed contractor

Your problem is that you think this is about doing something productive. It isn't. Its about revenge upon the guilty.

you probably shouldn't call for the deaths of people who feel justified under the ruling class morality doing things they wouldn't do under marxism-leninism.
