What say ye? Barf alert, or was there so much pressure on the Navy to not prosecute this guy that they've backed off for now?

My guess is that they backed off due to public pressure, but this officer's career is ruined. His next posting will probably be some Garbage Skow off the Coast of New Jersey.

“Theyll charge him after things die down a bit”.

They’ll probably charge him with a Hate Crime.

Read carefully the statement. They DID NOT say no one WOULD be charged. What they said is that no had been charged AT THIS TIME.

The article is not accurate. It says no one will be charged. Ain’t what the statement says.

The Nay appears to be the front runner on which service can be the most girly-girl.

Hopefully, the Marines will be forced to invade the Pentagon and tar and feather the jokes called “Admiral” currently dorking up the fleet.

(Apologies to all the real women out there...any one of which could beat the shi...er...Obamastuff outta most libs. Just using the term from SNL for effect.)

“Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense,”

the Navy said in a statement posted to social media, (Facebook)

In the Navy, it’s up or out. He will simply not be promoted, and forced out.

I am sure the initial push for charges came from the White House.

Shouldn't that be "The U.S. Navy is denying reports that it will file charges against a naval officer who allegedly used a weapon to return fire against Chattanooga gunman Muhammad Abdulazeez during last month's deadly attack." ??

I think they got caught, and are crawfishing until the heat dies down.

The reporter in question is a disgrace to an already disgraceful paper. Or former paper. They are mostly online now.

Weasel words.

"Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense,"

"...still a long way to go...but at this time...blah, blah, blah."
