WATCH FOR BIDEN TO RE-ENTER GUN DEBATE.. COMING THIS WEEK!
NBC said they know the name but they are not going to announce it yet...
why not ???
was the assassin a black guy ???
BREAKING. @johnmillercbs advises the initial reports identifying the suspected shooter as Rollie Chance are wrong.
But its a good start!
A Navy LT is an officer, a chief petty officer is an NCO. Either that’s not him, he is lying about his rank on linkedin, or the media has his rank incorrect. I’m guessing the latter.
...as he has extra armed men and women in the secret service closely in surround
” initial reports identifying the suspected shooter as Rollie Chance are wrong. “
Ooooops.......
If that goes down, ping me when you see it...
I saw a guy there holding a sign that said “Disgruntled employees needed for mass shooting. Inquire within!”
Yep- saw that..we’re just used to finding crazy FB or other website postings that I’m expecting that.
I guess it’s possible this guy is a loner and the other two are undercover leo or normal armed citizens. UNLESS witnesses corroborate seeing these guys shooting.
IF there ARE two more- where are the other victims and why aren’t they out there creating more mayhem..
So the DC Chief of Police is looking for ghosts? Ghosts with physical descriptions? All righty then.
Yep. They need the gun issue as a diversion from their Syria debacle. " Quick! Everybody look over there instead!"
Let’s see...so far, Chance has been identified as a Chief Petty Officer (E-7); Chief Warrant Officer and a LT (O-3). True, that may reflect his advancement—probably commissioned as a limited duty officer (LDO). But I’m sure it’s also a reflection of the media’s typical feeding frenzy and their near-total lack of knowledge of anything involving the U.S. military.
Give it another hour or so...Chance will be at least a Captain, maybe a Rear Admiral, by then.
Yep, the rush to get the info out w/o checking and waiting for confirmation, will do that....
Thanks!
