Jeffrey Tyrone Savage another black thug shot and killed a white sailor earlier this week was already a convicted felon. Jeffrey Tyrone Savage who went on his black jihad against the white solider overpowered a petty officer Mark Mayo aboard the USS Mahan and took his a gun. Jeffrey Tyrone Savage previously served prison time for manslaughter and drugs. All the gun control nuts out there again have reason to call for gun control as this Savage thug wasn’t supposed to have one in the first place. Navy officials were quick to rule out terrorism against Savage. It was more likely just another black on white hate crime than a terrorist attack anyway.

The credential Savage used to gain access — a Transportation Worker Identity Credential — is issued by the Transportation Security Administration and is valid for five years. The Navy said the card alone doesn’t authorize base access. People also have other documents to gain entry, including a manifest of items to be delivered or a receipt indicating an item to be picked up, said Beth Baker, a spokeswoman for the Norfolk-based Navy Region Mid-Atlantic.
People with criminal records for certain crimes are allowed to have a TWIC card, as long as they have been out of prison for at least 5 years, according to the TSA’s website. However, applicants can also apply for a waiver.
Since the program started in 2007, about 132,000 people were disqualified and about half of those who appealed or asked for waivers received them. The Navy said Savage worked for Majette Trucking, which is based in Rich Square, N.C. A message left with the company Thursday was not immediately returned. According to federal records, the company has four drivers and four trucks that carry refrigerated goods.
Savage was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in Mecklenburg County, N.C., and released from prison Dec. 30, 2009, records showed.
