The fact that they didn’t hit anything they intended to hit is explained by them holding their “full auto” Glocks sideways...

Infiltration by pizza delivery is probably a lot more likely.

I thought it would be undocumented, unhoused, hungry, recent arrivals, tricked by radical right wing Republicans connected to convicted election denier Trump.

Newly arrived illegals wanting to “high five” the gringo security guards.

Probably heard about soldiers being unarmed on military bases and got a surprise at the return fire.

Odd how this incident inflates fro a drive by shooting to an attempted invasion of Lackland A F B. The event itself is obviously unacceptable and the response by security was swift and admirable. The local news has embellished the incident to imply it was an attempted invasion by possibly a terrorist organization. I guess it's a good thing President Trump wasn't in the state or he would be blamed for it.

Me too. I thought the Leftists who run the military didn’t trust the boys (and queers, now) with live ammo?

It’s San Antonio, It sounds like one of the gate guards was screwing around with the baby momma of a local cholo.

The shooting is being characterized as on “off base incident.” The assailants drove away in a black SUV.

All personnel entering and exiting the base or any base are unarmed and make easy targets.

Practice run for the Secret Service the next time Trump or Vance is there? Sorry — The SS, FBI or any federal government agency cannot be trusted to protect Trump/Vance.
