DC Naval Yard Shooter Was Hearing Voices, Security Clearance Was Not Revoked.

Okay. So this time, the guy was fucking hearing voices, practically already admitted that he was crazy, and someone fucked up by not revoking his security clearance. There are far better reasons why this happened than "Oh, GTAV was coming out".

But of course...that's gonna be completely ignored.

To do such "news reporting" should just be goddamn illegal in my eyes. To cut so much of the facts that nothing remains but a body and an assumption isn't just morally wrong, it's crappy reporting.

When I was in the US Air Force I had a Top Secret clearance due to access to Nuclear materiel and weapons as well as working at the Air Force headquarters building for the European Command. If we even went to the doctor for a cold it was written into our record and any drug use above antibiotics level things caused an immediate suspension of our clearance. Hell I was once suspended access to my normal duties and weapons access because my wife's mom died. They were very serious about things. I saw people have their security clearance revoked over anything from an alcohol use related arrest to DUI and getting arrested for a domestic dispute. Someone royally fucked up in not revoking this guys access to the base once they were notified of his mental problems.

Second, your right other than the fact MSNBC is not a respectable news outlet. They make up news, they don't report it.

Exactly my point: which is why you'd expect them to come up with a fictional gun called an AR15 Shotgun.

That, and they would tell us there is a mass shooting every day of the year.

Woo...scary buddhists are going to destroy Western civilisation. Or something. Way to dig a whole in the bottom of the barrel there.
