MISSISSIPPI SHOOTING

[BOSSHOG]

The man who opened fire at a Lockheed Martin plant in Mississippi yesterday allegedly was a racist who was mad because he had to take a government ethics course. Classic bush supporter profile. Most likely got his news from limbaugh and faux and looked forward to american kids getting killed in iraq because it was a "just cause." I'm sure his christian funeral is being planned as we type. Republicans should be so proud, maybe bush will go to the funeral and pay his respects. He has plenty of time since he has chosen not to attend the funerals of the kids who have died because he lied.

1. boss says same number of victims

both black and white -- 4 blacks killed 1 white ...SAME NUMBER..classic Bush Spin. Also, I have seen the victims. this is why SPIN is DRIVING ME CRAZY. Respond Honestly --adding adjectives adds deception.

8. I guess

the people just wounded arent victims?

2. Where the hell was Homeland Security?

Lockheed is the LARGEST DEFENSE CONTRACTOR in the country...and some lunatic can just stroll in with two guns?

What's keeping spies and saboteurs out?

We've spent $50 billion on Rainbow Ridge, and he hasn't even looked at this?

WRITE YOUR CONGRESSPERSON TODAY!!

4. Good Point

I hadn't thought of that but you're absolutely right. How could a highly armed person, employee or not, get past security and inside the offices of the largest defense contractor in the country! Yes, we have to ask this question very loudly.

6. Thank you!

Does it seem strange that NOBODY in the media asks this question?

3. what is amazing to me....

...is that this guy was considered a threat by his coworkers, a "hothead" prone to making death threats and spouting racist bullsh*t.

In any modern well managed company this guy would have been shown the door long ago. I suspect Lockheed will be paying some hefty civil judgements, which is as it should be.

5. well...at least sent to therapy

Does Mississippi have therapy? :)

7. What else is floating around

in Lockheed if this guy was?

What kind of comapny lets another employee openly spout racist horseshit in the workplace?

10. just remember...

secret govt. work has a tendency to make you a bit ... weird.

seriously, some of the shit that these guys know, people shouldnt know, and it drives them a little nutty.

9. I went to a Navy "A" school in Meridian , MS out of bootcamp.

Being a yankee from New England it was my first time in the South. Truly a culture shock for me. We were required to wear our uniforms out in town. We were not well thought of which I find strange, looking back, since I thought right wingers thought highly of the military. Not in Meridian in the 80's.

11. You know, I Iove most of the South

But before I went there to visit, I had never heard the "N" word uttered outside of "gangsta" rap parlance or from my black friends when they are telling me a vivid or humorous story that needed the word to put things into the proper context.

Down South the word is used casually, almost.
