Then we will know all about the most minute details of his life before the sun goes down...

As opposed to release of the most minute details almost prior to the shooting, as the Enemedia releases the pre-written "news" of wag-the-dog crisis generation and headline choreography.

Local Memphis news reports indicate this one really is workplace violence; a disciplined worker going out and getting his gun, then going postal.

Wonder how long it will be before we allow our Armed Forces to be armed at their bases?

According to Fox’ Shep Smith, 2 people injured-—one person shot in foot; another person shot in leg. Shooter used a small handgun.

Shooter, according to Fox source, had just received some discipline, “maybe” had just been fired (another source: “relieved of duty”), went to his car, and retrieved a small handgun.

Shooter in custody.

Apparently a national guardsman opened fire after being disciplined/relieved of duty.

One wonders how many more he would have shot if he hadn’t been rushed by others.

I can also wonder how many would NOT have been shot if those others were armed.

More of what Obama calls “Workplace Violence” but Americans call Terrorism.
