spin_dry Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The gunman who shot dead 12 people at a Virginia Beach municipal building had been facing disciplinary action for a violent fight at work, according to a report. Enlarge Image DeWayne Craddock DeWayne Craddock, 40, was still employed as an engineer with the Department of Public Utilities when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing 12 and injuring several others, including a cop. But he recently started showing serious behavioral problems and got into physical “scuffles” with other city workers, a source told The New York Times. The source told the paper that the troubles had escalated in the week leading up to the mass shooting — and Craddock was involved in what it called “a violent altercation on city grounds.” Craddock reportedly knew he was facing disciplinary action for the fight when he went into the municipal building with two .45-caliber handguns, at least one of which was equipped with a sound suppressor — and both of which were purchased legally. Craddock killed 12 people, all but one a co-worker, and injured several others before he died in a police shootout. He launched the attack after brushing his teeth — and sharing pleasantries with a fellow engineer. His family posted a handwritten note outside their Yorktown, Va. home, offering ” heartfelt condolences to the victims,” according to The Washington Post. “We are grieving the loss of our loved one. At this time we wish to focus on the victims and the lives loss [sic] during yesterdays tragic event,” the note said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who loss [sic] their lives, and those recovering in the hospital.” “They’re beautiful people, both,” Betty Ware, a deaconess, said of Craddock’s parents, saying his mother would talk about their children “all the time.” “She was just proud of them, her children,” Ware told the Washington Post.

Guest Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 People, for the most part, always give SOME kind of a signal of impending action. It may be subtle or very obvious, but it will be there. Problem is, in many cases you can't do anything about it, and the violence might still erupt. One of the COMMON DENOMINATORS in a lot of these shootings is humiliation. Worst thing you can do to an employee is humiliate them. You have to ease them out in stages to dissipate the anger. Some bosses bring this shit onto themselves.

racer254 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 How/Why was he allowed back after he got in a fight? Last time a fight happened at my employer, the individual was escorted out and LE was called and involved. Fired on the spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. We are definitely nicer. We don’t tend to think owning a gun increase our dick size. Probably better healthcare will allow some people better access to mental health facilities. But really we have a very similar culture yet you’ve had 180 mass shootings this year. We have had shootings but I’m not sure we’ve had any mass shootings or stabbings.
