In reply to the discussion: The Navy and the FBI fucked up [View all]My Pet Goat
(413 posts)100. Huh?
I see you are one of those double down when wrong types of people.
Are you God's gift to someone? I'm not that impressed.I LOL because you are flailing trying to counter that obvious fact that you were speaking from ignorance (Ignorance: def. The state of not knowing).
You're the one calling The Navy Yard the WNY. The Navy Yard is the office area surrounding the WNY. You don't have any evidence to counter except your anecdotal assertion that those inside the WNY unofficially and colloquially call it "The Navy Yard," capitalized as a proper noun?I merely corrected your wildly wrong "appeal to authority" attempt against Nadin.
Let's go over this again. Someone made a reasonable point that this violence happened despite the area being secured, so perhaps it counters the "the more people armed that better" canard. What happens? Some counter "bunk" by asserting very few people in the WNY are armed, incredibly, the WNY is like a regular office. This despite the fact that the shooter WAS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH ARMED RESISTANCE by a security guard who works the building. The whole "WNY is not secure" argument is not only incorrect, but it is made irrelevant by the fact that in this particular case, the shooter was immediately engaged.

the clearance company is probably contracted too and a lot of slackers in those desk jobs

The Navy and the FBI did not investigate. A Private corporation approved the security clearance.

The Navy did indeed fuck up- The FBI fucked up by allowing clearance to be privatized
