The article says he worked for the company and the company has contracts with Homeland Security. It does not say that he worked on the Homeland Security contracts. Only personnel who work those contracts probably go through security clearance procedures. He is not going to be vetted for a clearance for working a gated retirement community.

That have over 600,000 employees. Mateen was a low level employee.

exactly. This is not a story.

What part of thinking, facts, or truth do you not understand?

Exactly how much experience do you have with the process of getting a security clearance as a private contractor under this administration?

I don't know about you guys, but I've worked with (and served with) guys who've said all kinds of crazy **** about ethnic groups and gays. I've got relatives who've said terrible things, and over the years I myself have said some things in conversations with co-workers or friends I'm not particularly proud of.

Who hasn't, at one time or another, said something awful about someone else?

What I'm wondering is how someone is supposed to know when someone is just venting or is actually going to go nuts and start shooting up a place. Too bad we don't have some sort of temperature gauge on our forehead so people can tell when we're about to hit critical mass.

And how the hell is are the authorities supposed to keep an eye on everybody?

The Monday morning quarterbacking on this tragedy - as with most others, it appears - is amazing.

I've worked as an employee with a company who had a government contract under this administration. Employees hired to fulfill the contract were bound by federal regulations, not corporate. I quit a lucrative job as a hazmat tech because of the people I worked with. I refused to take another position within the company where I would have gone overseas because of the same horseshit regulations.

There's the Rub. There are well over a Billion Muslims in the world, Just like with the Chinese. No way should Any group of those ever be considered a Minority anywhere in the world. Combined they out number the rest of the world combined.

Another example of DHS showing that it is a useless governmental bureaucracy that does very little to keep you safe.

Then they flee. Won't work. Contain them in the middle east and north Africa. Keep the muslim population to under 2% and block terrorist websites. Also it should be a crime to idolized Terrorists or say negative things about America.

Quote:The security company that employed Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen also is a federal contractor for the Homeland Security and State departments

That being said.. how this didn't get vetted is beyond me...

using "vetting" and the implied, 'worst presidential policy since Carter' is the oxymoron that contributed to line 1b) and the 'why' line 1a)
