U.S. Coast Guard personnel opened fire Thursday night on a U-Haul truck after its driver ignored commands to stop at the entrance of a California base, the agency said.

Dramatic video shows the box truck with its headlights on reversing toward security personnel stationed around a vehicle outside Coast Guard Base Alameda at around 10 p.m.

Moments later, flashes of gunfire erupted as officers shouted orders from a barricade. The U-Haul driver then hit the gas and accelerated forward.

The Coast Guard said security personnel standing watch on Coast Guard Island had witnessed the U-Haul truck "driving erratically and attempting to back into the base."

No RPG under the desk in those shacks? Why the heck not?

Post-Christian means no mercy. RPGs required.

Lebanon barracks all over again. We learn nothing.

I would bet on drug cartels seeking revenge on the Coasties for hitting drug boats (never mind that was probably Navy/AF/CIA).


Maybe not.

The Bay area is the home of the most arrogant and entitled illegal aliens and anchor babies of all ages on the planet.

The California state welfare programs were actually recruiting pregnant illegal aliens to come to the state. They were immediately put on California welfare and given the best prenatal care and labor and delivery services that money could buy - courtesy of the US taxpayer.

These welfare riding illegals were coached by California social services to “demand their rights” and the social services workers made darn sure that their client's demands were met.

Their in your face attitude is off the charts and their anchor baby kids are even worse. Most of them have been free riding on the multitude of California welfare programs and have never had a real , taxpaying job in their lives.

They are radical MEChALa Raza Chicanos who are the street beaters for the California Democrats. The intent of La Raza and MeCha is Reconquista or the "re-conquest" of the Southwestern U.S. by Mexico.

I wonder how the returned vehicle inspection at the UHaul store went.

If they rented it in nearby Stockton, the bullet holes were probably considered normal wear and tear…

They were shooting at the back of a box truck.

Getting pentation into the cab with 9mm or 5.56 is most likely not going to happen.

Luckily it wasn’t loaded with explosives’ the blast Radis of a truck bomb that size is fairly large.

Alameda is next to even-more-violent Oakland. No need to go to Stockton.

Rush Limbaugh used to talk about “mind numbed robots”.

These people are “mind radicalized robots.

The marxist terrorists think they can do whatever and no consequences. It’s not a game.

The protesters there also blocked the road in front of the base.

The truck driver wasn't Penske material.

Fortunately, Coast Guard Land Guy George Costanza was on duty that day.

I think this may have been a test run for a truck bomb. The wanted so see what rules of engagement the cops would use.

No word of pending arrest?
Local law might let it slide.
