..... Killed By The Saudi Shooter ... AND A HERO! One of the three victims killed was Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23, who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy this year. He was among the victims slain on Friday by Mohammed al-Shamrani, a Saudi Arabian aviator being trained in the U.S. In a heartbreaking tribute on Facebook, Watson's brother wrote that he 'saved countless lives today with his own.' 'After being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was and those details were invaluable.’ A man in a Jiddah coffee shop reads the daily Al-Madina newspaper fronted by a picture of Saudi King Salman on Saturday. The Arabic of the lead headline reads 'King Salman to Donald J. Trump: the Florida shooter does not represent the Saudi people ......

As I type this, the media and "authorities" are trying to figure out the shooter's motive.
WTF?
His motive sticks out like a pecker on a fish.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I agree with you completely.

Why in the living fluck do we have those towelheaded goathumpers over here who are not even US citizens, being trained by us to fly? What the hell is one good outcome of training them? ZERO.
If Trump has any backbone he will demand an immediate clean sweep of every college and base, and send their asses packing.

i carried a 380 Llama thru most of basic and AIT (Mp, at ft garbage, GA) I'd have to hide it in my shirt when we stripped down for hand to hand training. You can play the game and die, or you can cover your butt. It's your decision.

This young man is a “Hero” in every sense of the word, and represents the finest of American youth. Let us “never forget” him, or the thousands of other Americans that have given all for “Our Republic”! May we honor their memory, by never giving America to the socialist left that is becoming a bigger threat every day!
Prayers for his family and friends! memtb

This latest act of terror really struck a chord with me. When I was there from 06 through my retirement in 08, I had an average of 1250 Ensigns,2nd Its from USMC, USAF and a host of countries. One of my greatest pleasures was addressing every new class as they started their first week of academics at the "Puzzle Palace" (BLDG 633). That place has been there for over 80 years and it is now forever tainted by this horrible event. <y wife and youngest daughter were visiting my FIL who lives across the Bayou and heard the commotion, sirens and the "shelter in place" alarm over the base speaker systems. I'm still waiting on the names of the other two Americans killed and hope they were not folks I knew whilst I was there. I will wait until this passes, but I have to ask' where were the organic Department Of the Navy Police and the Master At Arms patrols? why did they have to wait for Escambia Sheriffs and not engage prior? Their HQ is less than a quarter mile away....
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

His motive sticks out like a pecker on a fish. Beyond the pale. They will do everything they can to call it anything but what it is...............TERRORISM. MM

That kind of deal is not easy to secure, therefore, it would be great shame if relatively minor incident stood in a way of such lucrative contract.
