REPORT: Navy to Charge Officer Who Fired on Islamist During Chattanooga Terror Attack
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 1, 2015 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/01/2015 12:03:27 PM PDT by abb

A report at The Navy Times in July confirmed that one of the Marines shot during the Chattanooga terrorist attack exchanged fire with the terrorist. Navy Lt. Cmdr Timothy White also shot back at the terrorist.

But rather than being celebrated as a hero, Lt. Commander White may be charged for discharging a firearm on federal property.

Allen West reported this week that Lt. Commander Timothy White

Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.

The text message asked if it would be possible for Lt.Cmdr White to reach out to me. To wit I replied, affirmative.

What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces — pardon me, our “unArmed Forces”? What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center? Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors. Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf. But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack. I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.

Folks, this has become the Obama military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected — but will punish them if they do protect themselves. What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz? What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform — especially the commanders — are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?

Ashton Carter is the Secretary of Defense for the United States. Marine Gen. Martin Dempsey is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Ray Mabus is the Secretary of the U.S. Navy. All three work at the Pentagon where the mailing address is: 1400 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1400. The main switchboard number is 703 571-3343.

We need to stop effing around with The Donald so we can focus on getting Walker in the WH, and man who is not afraid to gore the oxen of the Left and get things done.

Because we need a super big push broom to get to DC and CLEAN HOUSE from TOP TO BOTTOM.

Would you believe half the things that have happened the past 6 years in 2007?

I doubt it. We have to get over the shock, no it’s not a joke, and yes people are tolerating tyranny. A plurality of the country is cheering them on.

A good part of the neutrals are the very people going, “That’ll never happen...” again, and again.

If this is true every SOB congress criter, no matter who they are or what party they belong to, should be contacted and vehemently oppose the Navy’s actions against this hero.

But, this is impossible. Aren’t all “defense” bases gun-free zones? (Undefended?)

Man, you said it. Yes, a plurality of the country are anarchist parasites. It's the malaised deniers and sleepwalkers who throw the balance to the barbarians.

Careful not to bother Dempsey, I saw him on the news yesterday leading a group of girls singing the Unicorn song.

He's way too busy for this military chit.

So the Administration will ENFORCE this particular line of the federal code:

” the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property. “

But when it comes to deporting KNOWN CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS.... Violating FEDERAL TRESPASSING LAWS well their response is “Mr. and Mrs. American, F*** YOU!!!!

Law Breaking Sanctuary cities = OK

A patriot defending his comrades in amrs = He’s a Criminal

Conclusion: The Rule of Law along with Common Sense Discretion is DEAD!

I had a friend in high school with that very name who was black, so I wouldn’t be too sure. Last I saw him he was a disc jockey, but he might have switched careers. So let’s get a picture to be sure.

Are the autopsy results out yet? Do we have more information about what exactly happened that day? Did this officer retrieve his weapon from his car? Do we have military training facilities that hold tanks and other training materials and yet there are no armed guards on the premises?

it’s really saying something that there was an effort to reach out to LTC West... when he is no longer an elected representative.

Frankly, the man needs the people in his new home of Texas to get him back in Washington working on their behalf.

If they don’t charge him, it’s then a rationale for cc on federal property. That’s their argument and they hate self-reliance.
