A military base in Washington, DC, was put on lockdown Friday amid reports of “two armed individuals” — as brass warned the troops there to “prepare to FIGHT.
“LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN,” Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling warned on Facebook on Friday afternoon.
“If you encounter the individual and have a safe route, RUN. If you do not have a safe route to run, HIDE,” the base said.
“Barricade your door, turn off the lights and your cell phone ringer, and remain silent. If you are hiding, prepare to FIGHT.”
The base initially reported one “potential armed individual,” describing him as a black man carrying a Gucci bag.
An update said there were actually reports of “two armed individuals” — one with dreadlocks and wearing ripped blue jeans, the other wearing green pants and a white top.

An entire military base is afraid of two men with a gun?
We’re screwed. Pu***** in charge. RIP America!

Must be Obama visiting to talk about gender diversity in the ranks.

Gucci bag....one with dreadlocks and wearing ripped blue jeans, the other wearing green pants and a white top. Sounds like fashionable attire for urban or country social function settings, if well accessorized, of course. Ready to attract attention.
Hope GQ, Esquire and Ebony are covering this in full.

Looks like “get trapped in place” to me.
Agreed. For some reason, 'Shelter In Place' never made sense to me. Thank you for elucidating that.

Yeah, from most of the stuff I’ve been reading, Marines are just as woke as the rest of them.
“Run and hide”.
We are truly in deep chit.

I have to admit, your post made me laugh...
PERSON 1 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Okay, I think we'll be safe in here. This is where my mandatory education told me I should go if there is someone with a gun.
PERSON 2 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: I just finished my training and have my cheat sheet on my badge...
PERSON 1 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Really?
PERSON 2 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Sure. Lets walk through the steps. First, find the closest Shelter In Place.
PERSON 1 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Yeah, we're here.
PERSON 2 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Next, remove the sign designating the space as a "Shelter In Place" and enter the room...
(Person 1 and Person 2 stare blankly at each other)
PERSON 1 IN SHELTER IN PLACE: Uhh...you have the, uh, sign...right?

That would be a great meme. Personally, if there's ever a report of an "active shooter" event at work I am NOT going to shelter in place. I am going to stay mobile, with an improvised weapon. My reasoning is this. Where I work is very secure. The only way an active shooter could get in to where I am at is if it is someone who works there. If they work there, they've had the same run/hide/fight training I've had. The last thing I want to do is be predictable. They would know where to look for people fleeing/hiding. They wouldn't expect someone to be hunting them. Besides, if it goes sideways, I've had a good life, seen/done just about everything I want/need to. Lots of junior engineers there with their whole lives in front of them. If I can protect them, I'm good with that.

““LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN,” Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling warned on Facebook on Friday afternoon.”
Command directives issued on Facebook?
Okay. So the troops can be assured that Supreme Commander and Excellent-Hero General Zuckerberger has the situation under control. Woof!

One of the reasons we have the 2nd Amendment! Our Founders knew one day our military would run & hide! Leaving the security of the Country to the civilian populace!
