They've named the guy. Former military, perhaps a contractor now.

That screams "disgruntled former employee/contractor" to me.

Apparently, the guy was a Buddhist convert. That was obviously going well.

Did they let you out on time or did you work extra hours waiting for lockdown to come down?

Buddhism used to be such a peaceful creed. At least the new age pot smoking westernised version of it did anyway. Sad to see it go the other way. Goes to show you should never trust people who look like they may be thinking deeply. :nono:

Zen buddhism produced some of the most fearsome warriors ever, in China and Japan.

Would that be "contractor" as in "mercenary"? :ask:

Any contract work is mercenary work, do you really want to delve into that?

Let's see...

He was paranoid, thinking that everyone was going to try to steal his belongings, so he went around packing a .45 everywhere he went.
He had some psychological issues stemming from 9/11/01
he was wackily religious, spending days at a time "meditating" in a Buddhist temple.
He felt he was discriminated against
He felt that he had recently been financially screwed over his contracting job at the end of last year
He had few friends
He felt the Navy didn't treat him right.

But, he played Call of Duty, so that's why he went on this rampage -- that's the headline. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... games.html
