There are things which make you just upset, like the liberal progressive left and media accomplices’ rage over the shooting of a lion in Africa but abject disregard and disdain reference Planned Parenthood dismembering babies and selling their body parts.
But this story has me dog fighting mad and seriously pissed off.
As reported ten days ago by Western Journalism, “A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred.
The cold-blooded assault killed four Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist. The center’s commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times. A report from The Washington Post said that one of the Marines killed in the shooting might have been carrying a 9 mm Glock and possibly returned fire on the shooter.

Rules are rules. If following them means you die and violating them means you live, the rule makers prefer you die.
Can this Administration piss off any more people?
I think not.
Anybody that does not have a free phone or on the public teat is pretty mad.
Stunningly stupid.
The right of self defense is a natural right.
Man made rules don’t apply when you are under attack.
Sheesh.
The admirals and generals don’t want smart or brave Officers.
They want obedient Officers.
“Maybe you shoulda made ‘em smarter instead of faster.” - Gary Busey in the movie SOLDIER.
That “No personal firearms” rule also worked well at the base in Texas—I forget how many US soldiers the Islamic guy was able to kill and injure that day—but it was horrific.
I thought maybe the military would wise up a bit after that.
"Here’s what needs to happen. Flood the phone of SecNav Ray Mabus and SecDef Carter and ask them whose side they’re. Demand the charges being brought against Lt.Cmdr White be immediately dropped. If those charges are not dropped, I will personally lead the charge to have Carter and Mabus removed from their positions."
Sorry. I can’t comment.
This pisses me off too much and I’d only get banned from posting if I stated what I think.
This is precisely why Obama purged the senior officer corps. He now has a collection of politically correct wimps only interested in their own promotions and retirement.
EXACTLY! Just take a look at the enabling, head bobbing, ass-kissing "generals" and "admirals" that lend support to EVERY act the usurper wants, no matter whether it is Constitutional or hurts the Country!
Amazing. Hopefully there will be someone in the chain of command who will realize that the officers did the right thing.
I hope this is true! While I feel bad for the soldier, this could be a watershed moment to bring this issue into the public’s eye.
Though I hold little hope for American, maybe we can create a bandwagon for them to climb on—seems that’s all people can do these days. Maybe we should paint everyone’s FB profile green to show support.
Imam øbama say no.
There was a time when the issue would have been brought to a courts martial, so that a finding of not guilty was explicitly charged, thereby eliminating the officer from being exposed to liability. (Double Jeopardy)
I’m not as confident this Administration wouldn’t use the case to persecute the innocent, while praising the guilty.
Obama “I stand with Islam”.
Nope, this comes directly fron the White House. Anyone who stands against the WH faces removal and probably some kind of fake shaming all made up to have another excuse, other the the real reason, for their dismissal.
Now if an abortion doctor whipped out a .45 to shoot a fetus to keep it from being born...that would be ok.
Mods, can we move this to BREAKING NEWS?
I fully believe that this will be a career ending move on this officers part. He has 6 kids with #7 on the way so once he’s kicked to the curb, at least he’ll be able to still live off the govt dole. Of course he and his wife will have to “seperate” and she’ll have to declare she has no clue where he is to get her assistance. I believe that’s how a lot of folks do it. Not my Navy or my dad’s Navy.
You can write, email, call, text or scream and they simply won’t care. West will lead the charge? What kind of charge? Only a physical charge would make a difference and I doubt that’s what he’s talking about. I believe the only action that will produce a positive result is a real charge with West out front. I’d join that.
