Navy Yard Shooter, Aaron Alexis: A Tale of Black Privilege

by James Buchanan

We have been told over and over that Black people are disadvantaged and that police tend to target Blacks. If you take a close look at the life of Aaron Alexis, you will see someone who has gotten chance after chance only to squander them all away.


Navy Yard Shooter, Aaron Alexis

Since the Navy Yard mass shooting we’ve found out that Aaron Alexis shot out the tires of a car owned by construction workers at a project next door to Aaron’s apartment in Seattle. I am completely stunned that anyone could fire a pistol inside city limits to commit vandalism and not lose his gun rights. If anything, it seems the liberal authorities gave Aaron a “pass” on what was a serious offense that should have cost him his gun rights.

As if one gun incident isn’t bad enough, in Fort Worth, Aaron had complained about his upstairs neighbor making too much noise and he “accidentally” fired a shot upward through her apartment. This Texas shooting was at best felony reckless endangerment of the neighbor he didn’t like. This also should have cost Aaron his gun rights. When you consider his rage-filled shooting of a car’s tires in Seattle, there’s little doubt that he deliberately fired into his neighbor’s apartment. Firing into an inhabited dwelling is of course another serious crime, and a prosecutor might even have charged Aaron with attempted murder.

Aaron however did a good acting job and convinced the police that he just happened to accidentally fire up through the apartment of the neighbor, with whom he was having trouble. Funny that he didn’t happen to fire north, south, east or west or even down. Of all possible directions, he fired up.

Aaron was also charged with disorderly conduct in Georgia. In Texas, Aaron put something into the fuel tank of a new car, but he apparently was never charged with felony vandalism.

Aaron joined the Navy and was cited eight times for misconduct. Once again, he got a pass from authorities and narrowly avoided a General or Bad Conduct Discharge and received an Honorable Discharge.

Thanks to all the people who gave him passes when he should have been getting black marks or felonies on his record, Aaron was able to get a job at the Navy Shipyard in Washington, D.C. Most people would have seen this as a great opportunity during a bad economy with few new jobs available, but Aaron Alexis was apparently losing his mind, hearing voices which combined with his violent temper led to the mass shooting of 12 innocent Americans at the Navy Shipyard.

Anyone, who looks at the details of the life of Aaron Alexis sees that it’s not White people who are privileged in America, but Blacks like Aaron, who have felonies erased, secret clearances granted to them and lucrative jobs that should have gone to someone more deserving and a lot more stable.
