WASHINGTON — A military base in Washington has been placed on lockdown after a report that an armed person was spotted on the base.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling posted a note on its Facebook page on Friday that the base was being placed on lockdown. The notice said the person was spotted on the south side of the base and that anyone who encounters the person should run and hide.

The Facebook notice said the "description of the individual" being sought "is a black male with a medium build carrying a Gucci Bag."

“...anyone who encounters the person should run and hide.”

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! The new Commander in Chief is really turning the military around, literally.

“Person”? They know it’s a man, so why don’t they say so.

Woke weenies.

A modest proposal. Just put the entire DC metro area on lockdown until the conclusion of the present emergency.

if you are a Muslim terrorist or psychotic mass shooter, the best chances of “success” are at a grammar school, or military base

“Person”?

Even that is prejudicial. These day I am self-identifying as a Plutonian, so discriminated against that they don't even regard us as planetary beings any more.

Satire? Or is this how bad things are? What are our troops supposed to do in Afghanistan?

Lived on Bolling for 7 years.

Because DIA is on the base (and Anacostia host the Presidential Marine’s helicopter) it is kind of surprising.

1. Hope all turns out well.

2. Armed person, military response run and hide?

3. This is what happens when you disarm the military and make them become woke!

4.Who will save the military? Armed police? Well the military is trained to use weapons and defend themselves.

5. Maybe we should tell the personnel at the The U.S. Embassy in Kabul to RUN & HIDE!

An armed person on a military base? What a ridiculous thing. All soldiers should be disarmed. (/s)

The Presidential Marine’s helicopter was parked in my hangar for awhile. I had fun with the Marines guarding it. I asked them if they knew what AWOL stood for and got the classic response. I told them it really stood for after women or liquor. My female friend used to say after women on liquor. She was so fun to be with, lol.

“were the military is not allowed to have weapons”

Actually no one is allowed to have weapons on base except military police for the most part.

I worked onboard a naval air station for almost 31 years where random vehicle searches were randomly conducted frequently.....in that time I was NEVER pulled over and searched.....ever.
