Naval Yard Shooting

A young man with a troubled history, but high level clearance and access to the DC Naval Yard was the alleged killer of 12.

Mondays' shooting comes less than a month after a military panel recommended the death sentence for US military Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 and injured 30 others at the Fort Hood military base in Texas on November 5, 2009.

US authorities are still trying to piece together exactly who Aaron Alexis was, and what drove him to gun down 12 people in cold blood and injure another eight.

Alexis had converted to Buddhism and attended the local Buddhist temple.

“We are all shocked. We are nonviolent. Aaron was a very good practitioner of Buddhism. He could chant better than even some of the Thai congregants,'' Ty Thairintr, a congregant at Wat Budsaya, a Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, told AP.

Thairintr, who said he last saw Alexis five weeks ago, said the latter was upset with the Navy because “he thought he never got a promotion because of the color of his skin. He hated his commander.”

“He was a very devoted Buddhist. There was no tell-tale sign of this behavior,” Thairintr said.

Really? “He hated his commander,” is not a sign?

Buddhist, Muslim...they're all the same, right Christians?
