What can you say about this?

I grieve for the families of the dead and our country.

I pray for those who look the other way.
I was waiting to see how long it would take somebody to post about this.

I suspect that folks are waiting to learn the identify of the shooter - Muslim terrorist or disgruntled fired worker.

And then the rapid-fire posting will begin.

Senior law enforcement officials identified the gunman as Aaron Alexis, 34. A senior law enforcement official said the authorities had identified the gunman through his fingerprints
This is classic Washington fishbowl:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/ive-never...hood-shooting/

The CNN anchor said she never heard such a thing as a mass shooting on a military base. The other anchor reminded her of the Fort Hood massacre.

To a lot of the mainstream media, if it doesn't happen in NYC or in Washington, DC, it doesn't really count.

Key quote:
-------------------------------------
Anchoring the coverage of an ongoing mass shooting at the Washington Naval Yard, CNN anchor Carol Costello quizzed a producer on the scene about whether a military base like this has ever come under attack by a gunman before. Some have speculated that she was referring specifically to bases in the Washington D.C. area, but it was unclear why Costello did not reference the 2009 attack on Fort Hood by Maj. Nidal Hasan.

""He lived with me three years," a Texas man named Nutpisit Suthamtewakul told the Star-Telegram, calling Alexis his "best friend." He said Alexis had been working for a computer contractor. "I don't think he'd do this," said Suthamtewakul. "He has a gun but I don't think he's that stupid. He didn't seem aggressive to me." Alexis's motive remains unknown."

There are no men from "Texas ... named Nutpisit Suthamtewakul" ....period.

Here's a good link for now ... it will continually get broken ...

One guy, who wore tan clothes, has already been cleared.

The other is supposedly a black male in his 50s wearing military style clothes carrying what appeared to be a long gun/rifle. But they are doubting that report now.

If one can use "disgruntled."

If you Google his name, you will get his Facebook page. He has friends who are in Thailand with equally strange names.

Nutpisit married a blond Texas girl named Kristi.

The shooter was armed with an AR-15 a shotgun and a handgun. Rumor had it that Whirlaway said "does that give you a right to shoot the guy"
