UPDATE- 3:10 pm EST. The dead shooter has been identified as Aaron Alexis, a 34 year old from Texas and civilian contractor. He allegedly had another worker's ID on him. Also, one shooter has been eliminated as a suspect but are still looking for the fifty year old black man in fatigues. Stay turned.
If you live in the area of the DC Navy Yard, seek immediate shelter as there are possibly two armed gunman loose in your area. As someone who watched the Boston Bombing suspects tear through a small suburban town live on TV, let me tell you, it's frightening when psychos are on the loose. And as police lately are shooting innocent civilians with Keystone Cop-like abilities, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of the shooters while holding a Subway sandwich in my hand.
A NC cop is facing manslaughter charges after firing on, and killing, an unarmed black man who was seeking help after a bad car accident. Even more unbelievable, NYC cops hit two bystanders after shooting at a suspect and missing. The odd part is that this happens ALL the time in NYC. I don't know what training they give cops there but target practice sure as hell ain't one of them. I was even further outraged when I saw video of the incident and discovered the suspect wasn't more than ten feet away. My eight year old niece could someone from that range and not one, but two, cops missed by a mile. This is why you are eight times more likely to be shot by a cop rather than a gangbanger. At least thugs are more likely to hit their targets than the boys in blue.
But I digress from the story at hand where 12 people are dead, including one shooter, while the Feds are looking for others involved. Now we should we be aware that there may turn out to be only one shooter as eyewitness testimony, especially under duress, is notoriously awful. Studies have been done on people telling what they saw during incidents like this and research shows that even the most basic of facts like race, height, clothing, even hair color are radically different from one another Memory is not Memorex and tragedy distorts the truth sometimes more than we realize. So if it turns out there are no other shooters, please do not immediately go to some grand conspiracy theory that Obama instigated this to start new gun control laws. What? You say that's already occurred? Fuck me!
Right now, we should err on the side of caution and assume there are two other shooters, even if it most likely turns out they do not exist. Now the police seem fairly confident that two others, one black, one white, are real and, if so, are extraordinarily dangerous. These people have shown a willingness to kill and will do so again somewhere else. Again, if you live in the area, get off the streets, close down your businesses and "shelter in place." Many questioned the lock down MA had when the Boston Bombers were loose. It is a good thing as they had more pressure cooker bombs and a gun and could have created real havoc should they have happened into a crowd of people.
Now assuming that there are three gunman, this defines conspiracy, even if it is just among themselves. The dead shooter has been tentatively identified as a tall black man, but none of that is verifiable and, as early reports are always wrong, this might be too. CBS and NBC already shit the bed with a wrong identification of the shooter which they had to quickly retract. Also remember that everything you hear on the news is not always fact as they each try to outscoop the other with the most baseless of information. More than half of what they report during any tragedy is crap.
What could be the motive for this? Anger over the sequestration? Terrorist act by a homegrown group bent on ending the government? Or will it turn out to be another lone gunman with a grudge? Everything now is speculative so before having Alex Jones or What Really Happened.com go off the deep end about yet another idiotic government conspiracy that isn't occurring, pause and remember that sometimes bad things happen without Obama or Corporate America behind it.
I will update this site today as more info becomes clear. I hope the eyewitnesses are wrong and there are not two other shooters out there because this means more likely more loss of innocent life in the area.
