No RPG under the desk in those shacks?

The US military does not use RPGs, so they don't stock them.

That’s because they’re demons sent from hell itself.

By all means, join the lefties to demonize the opposition. Well done. < sarc>

“My question is why wasn’t this vehicle surrounded immediately after he pulled forward and stopped?”

rightful concern that it might be loaded with explosives set to go off or loaded with multiple gunmen armed with fully automatic weapons, and therefore caution was prudent?

Yah, like with ICE dudes who need to fire more than once, put on unpaid leave until their range results are up to snuff.

otherwise, good on them for shooting

The person renting the U-Haul knew enough not to rent from Hertz

I’d hope that all our bases should be on alert now.

For some odd reason, we’ve had several new indoor ranges opened here in the last few years..................

AirTronic USA manufactures the Precision Shoulder-fired Rocket Launcher-1 (PSRL-1) for the U.S. military and allies nations whose soldiers are familiar with the Soviet RPG weapons. It's a modified copy of the Russian RPG-7.

The U.S. military also uses the LAWS anti-tank rocket as well as various 40mm grenade launchers.

It’s the Coast Guard. They should have caught the perps and keelhauled them.

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

It will likely be claimed as stolen and found as a burnt-out shell in some alley somewhere.

Obviously.

I’d like to see these protesters try this at a marine base down here in San Diego.

“I think this may have been a test run for a truck bomb”

If it’s not it’s just a matter of time before it is. The antifa folks are in the stages of organizing and attacking that reminds me of IRA in Ireland or other terrorist groups. They’re mainly after ICE now, but they can easily pivot to any other target if they get unhappy enough.

But that’s harder to do here in the US with adults in charge. There was already a gal giving an interview after she’d infiltrated an antifa group. It’s not hard to fake being a loony lib.

So the driver of this is still on the loose? Are they even trying to find him?
