Another United States Tragedy

Just days after the indictment of Nidal Hasan for his involvement in the Fort Hood massacre, a nearly identical act of malice against innocent US citizens has occurred.  This morning at 8, a former Naval reservist was able to drive his car up to the Navy Yard base in Washington D.C. where he immediately shot and killed a police officer before making his way inside to execute more civilians.  It seems too coincidental that this attack is so disturbingly similar to that of the one that took place at Fort Hood in November, 2009.  Aaron Alexis, the gunman, was discharged from the Navy in 2011 for a "pattern of misbehavior," similar to the situation of Hasan.  Both took their abilities out on their own military division bases, killing an almost identical amount of people.  The motive of Alexis remains unknown, but weeks after the anniversary of 9/11 and the Benghazi attacks, Americans are on edge as to what will happen next.  Regardless of the thought process of this disturbed cold-blooded killer, nobody feels safe anymore! Eleanor Holmes Norton, the congressional representative for the District of Colombia, referred to the events that took place today as "an attack on our country."  What measures of security do we have to go to in order to keep our people safe if some of our greatest enemies are citizens of our own beloved country?  A recap of today's events can be seen here.
