Keep hearing conflicting stories. We’re still on lockdown here.

Last I heard on FOX, there's no sign of a shooter.
(I don't mean to make light of this, but could the two guys have set off fire crackers? It is close to the 4th.)

We’ve had these possible false alarms for a while.

Like most every other incident out there: NYC cops, NYC ax, Boston, Garland Tx

Funny how that’s never mentioned

But hey, let’s get rid of all Confederate related stuff.

False alarms can paralyze as well.

More seriously is the idea that all the DC firepower is at the navy yard leaving everything else more vulnerable

You bet. That was from 2013. 2014 was even better. I think this year will be the best yet.

He can’t. Navy Yard is (ironically) a Gun Free Zone.

Did you see the photo on http://www.foxnews.com/?

Overkill much?

Imagine this.

Toss two M-80’s over the wall at Navy Yard. Wait 20 minutes and rob the bank across town.

Exactly

A major distraction, a test run?

Yes, though the publicity of the hoaxes possibly inspires copycats. I remember silliness started after 1995 OKC bombing - blocks closed off here (Pittsburgh PA) for small, unattended boxes or briefcases, powdered sugar, pepper spray clouds etc. Just idiocy. I don’t know what the answer is though.

Wow how stupid does it get.
Hopefully there are no IEDs parked among that cluster.

Anything is better than nothing. A .22 is much better than a rolled up newspaper.

Well, it looks like this was a complete false alarm, but it brings to mind the 2013 mass shooting where 12 people were killed. The shooter was black so the incident has been consigned to the memory hole, unlike the current hysteria over the Confederate flag and the white shooter of 9 black church members.

That’s true! We have been evacuated and are safe.
