have varying levels of expectation of achieving an heroic reputation (for want of a better description but it is Walter Mittyism) via their military service. Generally, such people don't, just joining the military doesn't change who they really are. I guess there is a similarly small percentage of those who get POed that things didn't work for them. Then again, there's also those who have ridden the edge of legality for a long time and are simply drifting. The military sorts them out, right out of the service, and they continue the downward spiral in various ways. That's a nice way of saying he was a f___-up and s___head and proved it.

Yes, that's it! I didn't remember the exact term (reply)

So how does a member of a military physiological warfare unit wind up with a general discharge for supposedly being drunk on duty and then winds up leading a hate band for 10 years not to mention being on the FBI and private monitoring groups watch lists?

that every other shooting involving a MUSLIM how was witnessed by many, shouting Alla Akbar! while he shot innocents, is NOT a terrorist act.

If true, the firearm maybe was NOT legally purchased. (reply)

He worked in the psych unit. I may not have been clear.

I think the shooters skin color played a role in the declaration of "hate crime". This one's pretty convenient, an armed "white supremacist" runs amok in a Sikh temple. For the record, Sikhs are a really decent lot, and simply want to be left to themselves. They're sworn opponents to Muslims, too.

the shooter had been in the Army psych unit and got (reply)

murder spree while yelling Allah Akbar is still "Work Place Violence" Was the twin towers simply pilot error?

More likely to be a Muslim shooter - Sikhs and Muslims (reply)

Story on Drudge states he was a 40 year old white supremeist.
