Report: Navy Yard Gunman 'Gathered Weapons Along the Way'

Excellent use of a good idea. I wonder what the average CNN host would do if a guest just kept waving those pictures in his/her face instead of answering gotcha questions?

[Washi]

... I seriously doubt he had an AR15. I kinda doubt that military or POlice on a military base would be carrying the CIVILIAN model.

I thought the same thing.

Even then, in my experience, a loaded M16 is a rare weapon on a non-infantry, non-basic-training military base.

[JimRed]

For Chrome...

Chrome is Google. The enemy enabler.

[JimRed]

I’m watching a recording of last night’s Piers Morgan show. He just CONFIRMED that the shooter bought the AR-15 from a local gun shop in Northern Virginia...

And you would believe Morgan because...???

[a fool in paradise]

Basically, he could have arrived with a baseball bat....whacked the first guard....taken his weapons....and done all the damage from that point on. It’d dismay the gun-rights folks that he used a non-weapon to gain a real-weapon, but that’s the reality of this mess.

Michael Moore admitted the same headf*** to his argument against guns on 9-11-2001. He was in the midst of editing/completing his movie about the Columbine shootings and gun culture when 19 hijackers took 4 airplanes and killed roughly 3,000 people without a single firearm.

[JimRed]

But Piers Morgan (on his show) was shouting down one of his guests, saying that the gunman legally bought the AR-15. I wonder if he will apologize on his next show for his blatant error?

He was only following orders...confuse the issue and don't allow this crisis to go to waste.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m going to venture a guess about the ownership, hiring practices, and preferred federal govt contract award status of the HP subcontractor who employed this chip-on-the-shoulder nutjob .....

My first thought was that this subcontractor had minority ownership (which is pretty much a guarantee of getting a contract), but it turns out that is not the case. That said, there is constant pressure on federal contractors to have a large inventory of minority employees, so there's no question in my mind that this played a role in his employment.

*puke*

[Fresh Wind]

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Diversity is strength.

[Battle Axe]

The Ag teacher in my high school took a “not too far away” shot to the back with a shotgun. All wounds were superficial and he was never in danger of dying. And what kind of shotgun? How many shells?

I’m finding it a little hard to believe that he did so much damage with a shot gun and two pistols. Were the pistols automatic? Did he take ammo from the owners or just get what was in them?

[zeugma]

Obsidian works just as well.

[Sir Napsalot]

BTW, the woman I mentioned before who escaped is black, eye witness immediate aftermath told reporter ‘a bad shot’ also black woman. I haven't seen any mention of the 12 victims.

For someone reportedly ‘obsessed with violent video games’, how likely he is a bad shot?

I am more inclined to categorize this as ‘kill/hate whitey’ crime. Obama has blood on his hands.

[Big Mack]

Well at least the nutjob didn’t use poison gas. If he had, zero and fineswine would be shredding the entire constitution, and assad would be bombing us.

The firm that Alexis worked for, The Experts, was a subcontractor for Hewlett-Packard. According to HP, “Alexis was an employee of a company called ‘The Experts,’ a subcontractor to an HP Enterprise Services contract to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network,” HP said late on Monday.

(snip)

In June, HP announced that it has been awarded a $3.45 billion project to build the Navy’s “Next Generation Enterprise Network,” or NGEN.

The project is intended to provide secure data and IT services, including data storage, e-mail, and video teleconferencing to the Navy and Marine Corps, according to the General Accountability Office. That award was a continuation of an existing contract that HP has with the Navy.

The Navy has awarded incumbent vendor Hewlett Packard a potential five-year, $3.5 billion contract to develop what will be the world’s largest private computer network.

Called the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN), the project will replace the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), a contractor-owned and operated network serving 800,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel. NGEN will serve roughly the same number of personnel in both services, both in the U.S. and foreign locations.

For the Navy, the new network will be government-owned and contractor-operated, while the Marine Corps will have a government-owned and government-operated model with contractor support. The Marine Corps wanted the ability to travel with the physical components of its network and preferred running the network itself, said Bill Toti, vice president and account executive for HP’s Navy & Marine Corps accounts.

NGEN “required a different approach, a different operating model and it required a different team,” Toti said in an interview. “It wasn’t just optics, but we really did try our best to look at the evolving requirements and build a team that met that need.”

HP’s team includes AT&T Government Solutions, Inc., International Business Machines Global Business Services Federal, Lockheed Martin Services, Inc, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corp.

“I believe we got the best of U.S. industry at the table for this,” Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told reporters Thursday.

The transition to NGEN is expected to take about 13 months, considering there are no bid protests.

When I worked at one of the labs, they checked our badges like we were criminals.>>>>>>>>>>>>

That may not have been enough. One stolen badge and in like flynn.

[Nifster]

Not true. The badges had our PICTURE on it and trust me there ain’t anyone else that looks enough like me to get a pass into the lab. In fact they always commented on when I had gotten a haircut
