Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was 'not happy with America,' friend says - U.S. News

In related news, the DHS announced that Michelle Obama has been added to the terrorist watch list and her security clearance has been revoked.

He probably was a regular listener to MSNBC, the Hate America network.

Alexis also was a liberal who voted for Obama and didn't like Bush. If Obama had a mass murderering son he would look like Aaron.

Maybe all this work place violence the last few years is why people quit looking for jobs.
He was probably yelling at the naval components, "You didn't make that."

I love it.

As long as we continue to make every mass shooting a partisan issue, things will never change.

Shouldn't take legislation to give someone some help when they seek it and tell people they are being followed and microwaved.

At least we have a president that isn't hyper partisan and doesn't make partisan statements in the immediate wake of a national tragedy....oh, wait.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

Elections have consequences. Electing someone whose spouse doesn't have any pride in the US until her husband is nominated for president tends to polarize things. Not to mention the fact that the left has made every incident like this a partisan issue as soon as they can.

It doesn't matter. We're gonna be a hyper-partisan country until some tragedy happens.

Has anyone seen a republican rush to call this a racial issue? Thought so.

Seriously? You're gonna go that way with it?

From your article:
"He was tired of dealing with the government"
"He talked about 9/11 and where he was and how the buildings had collapsed and he couldn’t believe that...and how he was upset with the terrorists for taking innocent lives,"

With that variety of America hate, he could be the poster boy for the commenters on this board.

Yes, my comparison was pretty superficial. But there have been similarly superficial comparisons that have had much broader and more significant impacts ... see the history of IRS/Tea Party or Napolitono/Tea Party, not to mention the continuous media coverage of shootings that are propagated at least in part by continuous media coverage of events like this, yet the media doesn't look into the role of continuous media coverage.

As for "the poster boy for commenters on this board", who does this sound like?

Quote:He felt like he had been cheated out of money from the contract and complained that he was mistreated because he was black, Kristi Suthamtewkal said.

"He felt a lot of discrimination and and racism with white people especially," she said.

There was also a growing sense of entitlement and disrespect, she said. "He did have the tendency to feel like people owed him something all the time."

He got annoyed when she couldn't give him rides, and he started eating the couple's food without permission, and ignoring her when she complained, she said. When her cats developed fleas, he was angry.

Mostly, though, she felt like he was fed up with the United States.

Returning to Michelle Obama, she made a comment that betrays her feelings and puts her in the same category as Jane Fonda (and ironically John Kerry). It's something I will never forget nor am likely to forgiver her for...

Just as long as we agree the OP was a stupid and meaningless analogy.

I see nothing wrong with having complicated feelings toward one's country. I'm certain that we all have things we hate about America, and things that we love about America. Being disappointed in America in no way necessitates that someone would want to hurt it or its people -- in fact, many are driven by that disappointment to try to fix what they believe to be wrong.

Yes I think you are correct. Michelle Obama is the cause of what happened.
