I AIN'T buying that some Muslim buff boxer stud who looks just like Tamerlan Tsarnaev was taken into custody by mistake that night. This IS him.

One of the shooters at large is dressed in fatigues. At least one has a long gun, police said.

I have asked a few folks about this:

I have yet to get a response to my inquiry about what constitutes "Other lawful purpose" if self-defense does not.

And if it wasn’t him, then why isn’t this person threatening to sue, etc etc for being paraded on National tv and arrested naked?
#BREAKINGNEWS: 12 confirmed dead in Navy Yard shooting, according to Chief Lanier http://wapo.st/16dcIvN #navyyardshooting
latest news event: 12 dead
FBI takes the lead
Now retelling the BOLO of two persons of interest.
DC Police Chief: We are transitioning to FBI-led investigation.
Chief Cathy Lanier: “As far as initial response this morning, we have one officer with gunshot wounds being treated. Response from uniformed police officers was absolutely nothing short of heroic. With at least 12 confirmed dead at this point, the actions by the police officers without question helped to reduce the number of lives lost. Our hearts go out to families of all the victims here.
“Right now we’re confirming 12 fatalities, a few additional folks injured not fatally injured. Only one officer injured by gunfire, some others injuries sustained. We are officially now transitioning to FBI lead. Will be processed and handled as unified process.”

I wouldn't read too much into that. They have a lot of rooms in a lot of buildings they have to clear. It's just much easier to organize that if folks aren't running around in the midst of it.
Scrub crew takes over.
not just the recall, but the Bengazi report came out today.
Two persons of interest had firearms
Is it true that the Washington Navy Yard is a “gun free zone”? I’m a little long in the tooth but I don’t remember any of the industrial yards that I worked in being “gun free”. Maybe I had a page missing from my book but I not only had private guns around but occasionally traded guns with other freaks-—in the yard. And If I still worked there I’d be throwing away the offending page anyway. Sometimes good sense has to over rule BS .

Chief Lanier: Right now we have multiple pieces of information that suggest at least 2 other individuals seen with firearms, know both were wearing military-style uniforms, but do not know if they are military employees. We know they were involved in some way and are trying to locate them.

Many bases are going away from stickers but some still use them. But even with a sticker you must show ID.
Does the Navy khaki uniform include a beret?
