Aaron Alexis, Washington Navy Yard shooting, NAVSEA HQ, Building 197

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

This is an open thread. Just post whatever and we can clean it up later.

1. The asian connection: Yes, once again Japan has attacked a US naval HQ. This is Pearl Harbor 2.0!

*Aaron Alexis, 34, was kicked out of the Navy in 2011 after arrest for firing a gun into neighbor's apartment
*He was described by customers at Happy Bowl Thai in Fort Worth where he worked as 'friendly and polite'

Alexis was stationed at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth. His LinkedIn profile reveals that he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and worked as a network technician at SinglePoint Technologies.

2. If they can hit NAVSEA HQ, they can hit the pentagon:

The Air Force Times reports that the Washington Navy Yard area of the Washington Navy Yard where the shooting occurred was as well guarded as the pentagon itself:

the public’s attention is shifting to security rules at Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, a high-security building in the middle of the prestigious yard that is home to the Navy’s top officer and other admirals.

The headquarters, Building 197, contains classified and highly sensitive information about technical details of Navy ships and weapons, and it is closely guarded.

Visitors must first get access to the Washington Navy Yard with a military or civilian photo ID. The building is three blocks from the main gate. Those entering must go through an automated turnstile by flashing their NAVSEA badge. They are not allowed to bring in cellphones or photographic and recording devices, which can be exploited by foreign intelligence.

After passing through the turnstile overseen by the security guards at a desk, an employee can enter the lobby, which rises up to the building’s four-story height.

Guests must be checked in and turn in any recording devices. On a recent visit in June, a Navy Times reporter was required to lock his cellphone in a small locker outside the turnstiles before entering. The guest was not made to go through a metal detector but was constantly escorted by a staff member.

These security rules are comparable with those at the Pentagon.

What does this mean? It means THE PENTAGON IS VULNERABLE! Obviously the 1,000,000,000+ terrorists in America have found this out and are decending on the Pentagon right now! As every NRA member knows, mass shootings happen because we don't have enough armed kindergarten teachers and husky 12-year-old boys around.

Fellow patriots, your orders are to find husky 12-year old boys are deliver them to Pastor Ezekiel's learjet at Freehold Airport. Due to limited space, the boys may be individually screened to test for sufficient huskiness.

I feel that further investigation will likely reveal that this atrocity is the first terrorist attack we have endured that was planned and executed by Buddhists. We must realize that this is a declaration of war and act accordingly. We have plenty of atomic bombs and if we aren't going to use them on the kind of wretches we are confronted with, I don't know why we have bothered to save them up.

Some weeks ago I pointed out in the "What is the most dangerous heathen religion?" thread that the Buddhists are very dangerous indeed. I have tried without success to get that information to the authorities, but they have ignored me, as usual. This Buddhist in question used a shotgun, though the liberal media was quick to call it an assault weapon. It was an assault goose gun. However, the real problem with Buddhists is their propensity to set people on fire, including themselves.

I believe that the first order of business is to deny gasoline to all Buddhists and Arabs too, for that matter. This is no time to be politically correct. The second order of business is to buy up all the shotguns and all the bird shot. The godless Federal Government will be wanting to ban goose guns as a danger to the population and that could easily impact bird hunting this fall.

Finally, if we don't run the Arabs and Buddhists out of the country pretty quick, they will murder us all in our sleep.

I believe these completely reasonable steps could be implemented within the next few days and make us all a lot safer.
