I'd think more to the point is how does a person get a gun into the site in
the first place. Also, it seems that Nasa is not having a good year for people suffering mental problems.

Here is a quote from cnn.com.
"Space Center Director Michael Coats identified the gunman as Bill Phillips, a contract employee, and the dead victim as David Beverly, a NASA employee. The other shooting victim has not been identified. Police have not determined a motive for the killing, but Hurtt said that there apparently had been "some kind of dispute" between Beverly and Phillips. " Does anyone know if David Beverly was a workplace bully? I won't mention names, but anyone at JCS should able to confirm bullies are common and tolerated by management at JSC. They drove me to the point I had to take an early retirement. It is a shame this happened, but based on the way I was treated, I am not surprised. Danny Deger |

Danny, that was a really ill-considered thing to post. I've been sympathetic to you in the past, but this is over the line. Sometimes a nut is just a nut, and siding with someone like that--and that's what you're doing--is a symptom that you're not working on your own issues effectively. You need to be talking these reactions over with a therapist, not posting them to the net. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

You need to be talking these reactions over with a therapist, not posting them to the net. Danny has his own set of wounds from his own totally different set of circumstance. They still appear to be festering, and not totally healed. Hopefully, as they say, time heals all wounds. Danny's reaction and what everyone considers an inappropriate post comes from his own experiences. People really do tend to talk about themselves, even when talking about others. Talking about it, is better than letting it fester, with a therapist, or friends, or even an inappropriate post at an inappropriate time is probably better ... Whatever the argument between David Beverly and Bill Phillips was, it was between them, and ended between them. In a very bad way. Really knowing nothing about what the argument was, I would think that Bill perceived he was wronged in some way by David. Real or imaginary. Bill's reaction to this is inexcusable and wrong. Reminds me of another saying, two wrongs don't make it right. There is just a lot of pain all around ... Condolences to everyone who knew either of them, -- Craig Fink Courtesy E-Mail Welcome @ |

![]() This is precisely the problem in the U.S. It is considered normal to take a gun and shoot somebody. I beg to differ. While there may be a tiny group of the population that feels this way, it is in NO way considered normal. Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow. Violence is not considered an animal and inhuman way of expressing your feelings but a normal part of adult life. Violent crimes are glorified in TV and in games, where always the most violent wins. One need not be 'mental' to be angry enough to take a gun to someone. For a civilian to do so, except in the circumstances associated with self defense against an individual who poses an IMMEDIATE danger to your physical life, is indeed considered by most Americans to be wrong and criminal. If, for example, there is someone in your home, who poses a immediate threat to you or your family, self defense is valid. But because they "hurt your feelings" in the workplace, sorry same reply: Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow No. It is completely normal dude. Completely normal. Got a bad job review? Just let your feelings run uncontrolled and kill the reviewer. Then kill yourself to avoid punishment like all coward. It is not normal, and anyone who believes so, is also far from normal. To suggest that most Americans accept this behaviour must be experiencing selective hearing and not understanding the revulsion we react with to such things. John |
