    Suspect’s Past Fell Just Short of Raising Alarm
    By TRIP GABRIEL, JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
    Published: September 17, 2013


    WASHINGTON — A month before a murderous rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, Aaron Alexis called the police in Rhode Island to complain that he had changed hotels three times because he was being pursued by people keeping him awake by sending vibrations through the walls.

    When officers came to his hotel room early on Aug. 7, Mr. Alexis told them that a person he had argued with at an airport in Virginia “has sent three people to follow him” and that they were harassing him with a microwave machine, according to a Newport, R.I., police report. Mr. Alexis said he had heard “voices speaking to him through the wall, flooring and ceiling,” the report said.

    Mr. Alexis told the police he was a Navy contractor, and then twice that month he sought treatment from the Veterans Affairs Department for psychiatric issues, according to a senior law enforcement official. But it did not raise a red flag that might have prevented him from entering the military base in Washington where, the authorities say, he killed 12 people on Monday.

    The episode in Rhode Island adds to a growing list of questions about how Mr. Alexis, who had a history of infractions as a Navy reservist, mental health problems and run-ins with the police over gun violence, gained and kept a security clearance from the Defense Department that gave him access to military bases, including the navy yard, where he was shot to death by the police.

    Time and again, Mr. Alexis’s behavior fell below a level that would have brought a serious response, like a less-than-honorable discharge from the military or involuntary commitment to a mental institution, experts and officials said.

    But the sheer number of episodes raises questions about the government’s system for vetting people for security clearances, including the thousands of contractors who help run the nation’s military and security system work. Though the cases are different, the access granted Mr. Alexis, a former Navy reservist who as an independent contractor serviced Navy computers, raises questions similar to those raised about another outside government contractor, Edward J. Snowden, who leaked national intelligence secrets.

    “These two incidents combined suggest to me a very flawed system for granting security clearances,” said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, who called for a Congressional investigation into the granting of security clearances to government contractors. “Who knows how many other Snowdens and Aaron Alexises are out there?”

    On Tuesday, President Obama ordered the White House budget office to conduct a governmentwide review of policies for security clearances for contractors and employees in federal agencies. In an interview with Noticias Telemundo, the president said the nation did not have a “firm enough background check system.” He also called once again for Congress to enact legislation to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those with mental illness.

    “I do get concerned that this becomes a ritual that we go through every three, four months, where we have these horrific mass shootings,” he said.

    Senior Pentagon officials also said that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel intended to review physical security and access at all Defense Department installations around the world.

    Many planets aligned to place Mr. Alexis, 34, at the start of the workday in the navy yard with a Remington pump-action shotgun, firing down from a balcony, the police said, and killing the employees, all civilians.

    As an honorably discharged veteran, he cleared a basic hurdle to receive a Defense Department security pass. Despite his being investigated by police departments in Seattle and Fort Worth, for firing a gun in anger, no charges were filed that would have shown up in his F.B.I. fingerprint file. Despite mental health issues — he twice went to Veterans Affairs hospitals last month seeking treatment for insomnia — he was never committed and so was legally able in Virginia to buy the weapon the police said he used in the shootings.

    “The system didn’t pick up the red flags because the red flags in this case had not been fed into the system,” one Pentagon official said. “Perhaps we need to look at the ‘filters,’ and whether some sorts of behaviors and incidents, even if they do not rise to the level of punishment, should nonetheless be part of the files for review.”

    Law enforcement officials on Tuesday provided new details about the shooting. They said that in addition to the shotgun Mr. Alexis was carrying, he used a .45-caliber handgun that he may have picked up once inside the Navy base.

    The Washington police chief, Cathy Lanier, said that officers armed with AR-15s were at the scene within two minutes of the first 911 call. But some reported to the wrong building because callers had misidentified the building. Chief Lanier said the entire shooting episode lasted at least 30 minutes.

    The gunman was identified by an F.B.I. agent holding a machine to the fingers of the dead body. Within seconds, it identified Mr. Alexis from fingerprints on file because of his military service.

    In the search for more information — and especially the unanswered question of motive — federal and local authorities have interviewed hundreds of people and are poring through the contents of Mr. Alexis’s Yahoo e-mail account.

    Mr. Alexis had shown a “pattern of misbehavior” during his four years as a reservist, according to Navy officials. That pattern caused some of his commanders to consider giving him a general discharge — one level below honorable, which could have derailed his security clearance.

    Instead, Mr. Alexis received an honorable discharge from the military in January 2011, after he had applied for an early discharge under the Navy’s “early enlisted transition program.” A major reason, officials said, was that his misbehavior in the Navy was not violent. It included insubordination, traffic violations and being absent without leave — two days he spent in jail after a fight in a bar in DeKalb County, Ga.

    Mr. Alexis was also twice investigated by other police departments in shooting episodes — once for firing through his ceiling in Fort Worth, Tex., and another time for shooting out a car’s tires in Seattle, during what he described as an anger-fueled blackout.

    Mr. Alexis, who worked for an independent contractor called the Experts, worked on half a dozen military bases from North Carolina to Rhode Island this year, said the company’s chief executive, Thomas E. Hoshko. If he had known of the police reports about Mr. Alexis that have surfaced in the news, “we would have never looked at him,” Mr. Hoshko said.

    In any event, it was the responsibility of the Defense Department to grant Mr. Alexis his security credential allowing him onto bases, known as a Common Access Card. Pentagon officials said the Navy was responsible for his clearance, using a check of F.B.I. records and another database with the Office of Personnel Management.

    Mr. Alexis left the Experts to attend school in January 2013, Mr. Hoshko said, but returned in July, when he again passed a drug test and a background check and received a secret clearance from the Defense Department.

    Mr. Alexis’s clearance was a midlevel designation required for many military jobs, officials said. A secret clearance does not require as extensive a background investigation as a top-secret clearance, can be completed in one to three months and is good for 10 years. Among the factors that can disqualify someone are conviction for a felony, illegal drug use and financial problems.

    Mr. Alexis’s father told the police after the Seattle shooting in 2004 that his son suffered post-traumatic stress symptoms after volunteering in the rescue after the attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

    Colleagues who worked with Mr. Alexis at that time in a computer support center at Manhattan Borough Community College, near ground zero, did not recall him volunteering or mentioning Sept. 11.

    One co-worker, Barry R. Williams, said Mr. Alexis had held onto grudges. “Some small thing would happen, something so small I couldn’t even remember the details, but two, three weeks later he’d still be bringing it up, be upset about it,” Mr. Williams said.

    In White Settlement, Tex., the Fort Worth suburb where Mr. Alexis lived in recent years when he was not traveling for work, he told a friend, Melinda Downs, that he had post-traumatic stress disorder, and that it caused him to be withdrawn and suffer from insomnia. He once went three days without sleep, said Ms. Downs, who owns a barber shop.

    After the police in Newport responded to Mr. Alexis’ call for help on Aug. 7, a sergeant who reviewed the report, Frank C. Rosa Jr., contacted the Newport naval base police and faxed a copy of Mr. Alexis’s wild statements. It is unclear whether the account made it up the chain of command.

    On Aug. 23, Mr. Alexis went to Veterans Affairs hospitals in Providence, where he had been working as a contractor, complaining of insomnia but did not say that he was hearing voices, according to a senior federal official. Mr. Alexis said he could not sleep for more than a few hours. Doctors there prescribed him an antidepressant pill commonly prescribed for insomnia, Trazodone, the official said.

    Five days later, Mr. Alexis went to a Veterans Affairs hospital in Washington, where he had traveled to work on a job at the Navy Yard. Mr. Alexis, who had not been given many Trazodone pills in Providence, said to the medical personnel in Washington that he was still having trouble sleeping and the doctors prescribed him more Trazodone, said the official.

    In that meeting, Mr. Alexis told the medical personnel that he was not using drugs, did not have suicidal thoughts, was not depressed or particularly anxious, and was not having nightmares, the official said.

    Today’s front page announced “Same Gun, Different Slay” (classy) and blared “Maniac used ‘Newtown’ weapon” and “AR-15 made for murder.” But as Twitchy reported, the FBI says Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis used two handguns and a shotgun, not an AR-15 rifle. http://twitchy.com/2013/09/17/gun-gr...ed-with-ar-15/

    Inside the paper is Mike Lupica’s column, “AR-15 is the rifle for the ‘sport’ of hunting humans.”

    This thing has stunk to high heavens from day one..From the arrests, refused mental health treatment, fabrication of the AR....The thinking person has to suspect this is the latest progressive manipulation where loss of life is less important than their goal of handing a defeated and humiliated USA to the globalists...and requires disarming a massive and free population.

    http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines...-to-stand-down

    What's strange is the amount of info the government had on this veteran regarding his criminal behavior and emotional instability.... YET they gave him security clearance just a few days before the shooting. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd think that this was a set-up.

    DC SWAT Team Ordered to Stand Down at the Navy Yard Shooting


    Posted by Jay on September 20, 2013

    Four members of the elite Command and Emergency Response Team (CERT) showed up at the D.C. Navy Yard sixteen minutes after reports emerged of an active shooter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24163244 Armed with HK-416 assault weapons and dressed in full tactical gear, the CERT members were responding to a request for help by an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department, but when they contacted their superiors, they were told to leave.

    FBI Director James B. Comey Jr said Thursday that it took half an hour for armed police to engage Aaron Alexis, who killed 12 people during that half hour. The report of CERT’s arrival would undermine this narrative, and had the members of the team been allowed to do their jobs, lives might have been saved.

    Thursday, the team found out that its leader had been replaced, but no explanation was given.

    President Barack Obama on Sunday memorialized the victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting by urging Americans not to give up on a transformation in gun laws that he argued are to blame for an epidemic of violence. Click here for more: http://www.wafb.com/story/23495647/o...edium=facebook

    Obama says fight for gun laws 'ought to obsess us'
    Posted: Sep 22, 2013 3:35 AM CDT

    By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

    WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Sunday memorialized the victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting by urging Americans not to give up on a transformation in gun laws that he argued are to blame for an epidemic of violence. "There is nothing inevitable about it - it comes about because of decisions we make or fail to make," Obama said.

    Reprising his role of the nation's consoler in chief after yet another mass shooting, Obama issued a call to action on gun control measures that failed to pass earlier this year and show no new momentum in the wake of last week's rampage at a military installation just blocks from the Capitol.

    "Our tears are not enough," Obama told thousands gathered to mourn at the Marine Barracks. "Our words and our prayers are not enough. If we really want to honor these 12 men and women, if we really want to be a country where we can go to work and go to school and walk our streets free from senseless violence without so many lives being stolen by a bullet from a gun, then we're going to have to change."

    Obama said when such senseless deaths strike in America, "it ought to be a shock to all of us, it ought to obsess us. It ought to lead to some sort of transformation."

    But, Obama said, "nothing happens. Alongside the anguish of these American families, alongside the accumulated outrage so many of us feel, sometimes I fear there is a creeping resignation that these tragedies are just somehow the way it is, that this is somehow the new normal. We cannot accept this. As Americans bound in grief and love, we must insist here today there is nothing normal about innocent men and women being gunned down where they work."

    He said no other advanced nation endures the kind of gun violence seen in the United States, and blamed mass shootings in America on laws that fail "to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people."

    "What's different in America is it's easy to get your hands on a gun," he said. He acknowledged "the politics are difficult," a lesson he learned after failing to get expanded background checks for gun buyers through the Democratic-controlled Senate this spring. Obama had proposed the measure after the shooting at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School killed 20 first-graders and six staff.

    "And that's sometimes where the resignation comes from: the sense that our politics are frozen and that nothing will change. Well, I cannot accept that," Obama said. "By now, though, it should be clear that the change we need will not come from Washington, even when tragedy strikes Washington. Change will come the only way it ever has come, and that's from the American people."

    Obama joined military leaders in eulogizing the dozen victims killed in last Monday's shooting, speaking from the parade grounds at the Marine Barracks, a site personally selected by Thomas Jefferson because of its close marching distance to the Navy Yard. The memorial service came on the first day of fall, which shone brightly in Washington, with sun sparkling off the instruments being played by the Navy Band and the gold dress uniform buttons worn by so many in the crowd.

    The invitation-only crowd included around 4,000 mourners, with the victims' tearful, black-clad family members directly in front of the speakers' stage. The president and first lady Michelle Obama met privately with the families before the service, White House officials said.

    Authorities say their loved ones' lives were taken Monday by shotgun-wielding Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and information technology contractor who struggled with mental illness. Police killed Alexis in a gun battle.

    Obama said it's clear from the Navy Yard shooting that the country needs to do a better job to secure its military facilities and improve mental health services, but also address gun laws. "I do not accept that we cannot find a common-sense way to preserve our traditions, including our basic Second Amendment freedoms and the rights of law-abiding gun owners while at the same time reducing the gun violence that unleashes so much mayhem on a regular basis," Obama said. "It may not happen tomorrow and it may not happen this week, it may not happen next month. But it will happen because it is the change that we need. And it's a change overwhelmingly supported by the majority of Americans."

    Earlier Sunday, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre rejected any call for gun control. "The problem is there weren't enough good guys with guns," LaPierre said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

    The military leaders who spoke before Obama at the memorial service, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Adm. Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, avoided any mention of gun control as they remembered the victims as heroes. But Washington Mayor Vincent Gray spoke forcefully for action, mentioning that 1 of the Navy Yard victims, Arthur Daniels, had already lost his 14-year-old son to gun violence and citing the string of mass public shootings in recent years.

    "Why is it that these tragic consequences and these tragic occurrences never seem to move us any closer to ensuring that guns don't get into the hands of criminals or mentally unstable people?" Gray asked. "I don't know the answer. But I do know this - that this time it happened within the view of our Capitol dome, and I for one will not be silenced about the fact the time has come for action."

    The service ended with a bugler playing taps and singing of the Navy hymn after a reading of the names of the fallen, who ranged in age from 46 to 73 and included civilian employees and contractors. Eight people were also hurt, including a police officer and two others who suffered gunshot wounds.

    Obama also mentioned each victim - describing them in turn for their love of their family, their service to their community and their passions, ranging from classic cars to the Washington Capitals hockey team. "Once more our hearts are broken. Once more we ask, Why?" Obama said.

    Hm, he used a shotgun...

    He broke the gun free zone law...

    He broke the law against killing people...

    So creating a new law makes any logic? Especially to ban... Not shotguns? Tards...

    Nice way to use this event for political gain, its gross!

    ...

    How about enforcing the many laws already at hand. How about using a swift acting death penalty instead of the catch and release program being used now. Criminals do not care what kind of laws you make, that's what makes them criminals. When the law makers finally do outlaw guns completely- criminals will be the only ones with them. Then who will protect us? The same government that protected our embassy in bengazi?

    ..

    Gun laws do not stop bad people from doing bad things or stupid people from make stupid decisions.
    Laws work only with honest people. Criminals don't care about laws. They are criminals because they break the Law. So stop making more laws that only effect us good people.

    ..

    Turning a memorial service into a soapbox. Never miss an opportunity to push the agenda to control the people.

    ..

    Gun policies and laws are the problem. Let trained military carry guns let's see what happens. What other military in the world is unarmed?His beloved Chicago has a TOTAL ban on ALL guns. How's that working out?

    ..

    Well if one of those people had been carrying a gun, then maybe he would have killed less people. Funny when terrorists attack that are Muslim, he's quick to say, "don't blame all Muslims, they are not all terrorist", hmm, shouldn't gun owners be given that same benefit. He wants to take our guns and put them in the hands of his terrorist buddies.....no thank you! Why hasn't he been impeached yet for giving aid and comfort to enemies? That's treason

    ...

    Sad that such a tragedy happened, but more importantly in one of the most secure areas of the world, where not even just anyone can stroll in there (armed or not) and he wants to blame the guns themselves yet again?

    ..

    Lack of security is responsible for someone to shoot 12 people before being taken DOWN.... Also they were warned about this nut and nobody did their job protecting the employees against this maniac. So don't blame it on gun control

    Experts who have analyzed the Naval Yard security video footage say that Alexis would have been “an easy target” for ARMED defenders. The videos shop that Alexis was not very skilled with his weapons. That proves that if military officers were allowed to carry firearms on base, the killings would have been much less!

    Lives Saved Due to Guns
    Posted on September 27 2013

    It is absolutely sickening! Once again, President Barack Obama does not let a “crisis go to waste” via the White House.

    The Naval Yard shooting, which recently claimed 12 unarmed, defenseless military personnel, had at their ceremony an address by the President of the United States of America.

    Obama said that these types of confrontations were supposed to “shock” and “obsess” us into “doing something” about gun violence: President Obama actually used this solemn ceremony to advance his anti-gun efforts! As he promoted his strong anti-gun agenda, he said:

    “It ought to be a shock to all of us, it ought to obsess us. It ought to lead to some sort of transformation… Our tears are not enough. Our words and our prayers are not enough. If we really want to honor these 12 men and women, if we really want to be a country where we can go to work and go to school and walk our streets free from senseless violence without so many lives being stolen by a bullet from a gun, then we’re going to have to change. [But] nothing happens. Alongside the anguish of these American families, alongside the accumulated outrage so many of us feel, sometimes I fear there is a creeping resignation that these tragedies are just somehow the way it is, that this is somehow the new normal. We cannot accept this. As Americans bound in grief and love, we must insist here today there is nothing normal about innocent men and women being gunned down where they work.”

    The Naval Yard Shooter who was not a weapons’ expert.

    Aaron Alexis, the Naval Yard shooter, was able to obtain a shotgun that he used to take out two security guards whose pistols Alexis took and used on his other victims. There were strict gun laws in effect at the Naval Yard.

    You must FAX every Member of Congress to notify them that they absolutely must vote against any gun control legislation that the President is pushing!

    Experts who have analyzed the security video footage say that Alexis would have been “an easy target” for ARMED defenders. The videos shop that Alexis was not too skilled with his weapons. That proves that if military officers were allowed to carry firearms on base, the killings would have been much less!

    Alexis was NOT a weapons’ expert. His naval military experience was serving as an Aviation Electrician’s Mate, certainly not someone who was used to combat readiness!

    However, the Naval Yard was designated as a “GUN-FREE ZONE” to be “politically correct.” How different the outcome would have been if naval officers could carry their own weapon?!

    So much for the President wanting to claim this crisis as an opportunity to push his gun control issues? And as insiders say, he may use the recent shootings to push gun control via Executive Orders!!

    There were two major terrorist shootings and bombings over this past weekend.

    The Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya was attacked by Al-Shabaab terrorists. So far, 72 have been killed. Hundreds were wounded in this vicious anti-civilian attack. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the Nairobi attack. Their base is Somalia and they are closely linked to al-Qaeda. They claimed they were targeting Non-Muslims.

    Their official Twitter read: “Only Kuffar (“infidels”) were singled out for this attack. All Muslims inside the Westgate were escorted out by the Mujahideen (Islamic Holy Warriors) before beginning the attack.”

    But here is the important part! The United Kingdom’s DAILY MAIL paper ran a story about a true HERO who had a handgun’ and helped to rescue at least 100 people during the Kenyan Mall attack!

    An “anonymous” former British Royal Marine actually went back into the mall several times to rescue people. It is alleged that over 100 people’s lives were saved due to this armed Marine. For security purposes, he has remained anonymous. He returned, over and over again, to escort frightened civilians outside the mall.

    One person reported: “What he did was so heroic. He was having coffee with friends when it happened. He went back in 12 times and saved 100 people. Imagine going back in when you knew what was going on inside.”

    He risked his life many times, moving in and out, leading victims to safety.

    Here’s our question: Could he be able to do this if he did not have a handgun?

    I doubt it, even though he was a Marine. This helps to point out that an armed “good guy” will dispel any situations with the bad guys! This Nairobi Mall shooting points that out quite distinctly!

    Certainly, since the “Mall Massacre Hero” was armed, he had the boldness to decide to face terrorist’s risk and rescue victims! Since he was armed, he was able to take calculated chances to save others.

    Unfortunately, if someone chooses not carry a gun, this makes their risk be much higher.

    We MUST give law-abiding citizens, around the world and here in the United States, the prospect to decide for themselves whether or not to defend themselves.

    Mr. President, we despise you for using this horrible Navy Yard shooting as a “Crisis” you refuse to go to waste. Please do not use this tragedy as a platform to thrust upon the American people your ANTI-GUN AGENDA!

    100 LIVES SPARED due to the fact that he had a handgun! What does that tell you, Mr. President??!!

    The Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya was attacked by Al-Shabaab terrorists. So far, 72 have been killed. Hundreds were wounded in this vicious anti-civilian attack. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the Nairobi attack. Their base is Somalia and they are closely linked to al-Qaeda. They claimed they were targeting Non-Muslims.

    Their official Twitter read: “Only Kuffar (“infidels”) were singled out for this attack. All Muslims inside the Westgate were escorted out by the Mujahideen (Islamic Holy Warriors) before beginning the attack.”
    But let us not forget ... this is the "Religion of Peace" .... and we mustn't "rush to judgement"

    ..

    It makes Common sense for military personnel to carry side arms on military installations. This killer would have been dropped "like a stone" after his shot and/or sighting and at least 12 "good" people would still be aliveThe libs have gone stark raving made!! May the ���� remain free from tyranny from within
