GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD)– Officers from the Grand Haven Department of Public Safety are investigating after a man crashed his truck through the Coast Guard Station Gate and assaulted U.S. Coast Guard personnel.

This happened just after 6:00 a.m. Sunday. According to officials, the suspect broke into the station and threatened he had an explosive device in his truck.

Authorities say all U.S. Coast Guard personnel are safe.

At this time, Harbor Drive and the boardwalk are closed until further notice. Residents of Sand Piper Condos are advised to shelter in place. If you live there, stay in your residence until all clear is given.

From the article: According to Wood TV, the attack on the Grand Haven Coast Guard station is being investigated as a case of domestic terrorism due to it being an attack on a federal building. They have not found any immediate links to terrorism though.

According to FOX the perp called police and told them he was going to do it and the station was in the process of being evacuated when he showed up.

islamism until demonstrated otherwise.

I would say that it's more likely a woman is involved in why this attack occurred.

Anyone notice all these weekly stories are accompanied by Americans cowering, evacuating, hiding, running scared, sheltering in place, being locked down, sniveling and holding candles, trembling in place, hiding in their homes on and on.

Looking like a garden variety nutjob. They think he is connected to a 4 AM arson near his home in Mears Michigan.

It wasn’t a Tea Party member but the Lame Stream media will report it that way.

Can you be clearer on how the term “down east” came into use.

I had a wonderful romance in our New Jersey High School with a girl who preferred ‘Going Down Maine” to me. She is still in Maine, I am in Florida, happy but still wondering!

“Shelter in place” sounds like “Be afraid.” The instructions could be, “Stay inside to avoid interfering with the manhunt.”

Claims that it is because sailing from Boston to Maine, one traveled down wind.

I had read (and accepted) that it was because older navigational charts were oriented with west up (as opposed to north). Wikipedia offers some more plausible possibilities here.

These incidents are becoming a part of the American landscape. Jihad is now part of the American way of life.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Which is why gun and ammo sales are UP. Some Americans know
that they may have to put one of the jihadi freaks down.

Soon our schools will be targeted, as well as police stations, and state government offices.

If people defend themselves against these jihadhi kaffirs using personal arms, watch Obama declare martial law to protect the kaffirs......that’s the problem.

Obama is such a treasonous president, I don’t see how he is going to last for two more years.

Thanks.

Let me guess. What would Obama report to us. Oh, yes. It was a white male, approximately 35 years old, in pickup truck, had gun rack in back, Bible on the seat, shot gun, rifle, pistols, AK47, AR15s in seat. Stacks of ammo. Oh, yes, and he was a Christian. Believed to be a Southern Baptist from the southern part of the United States. Ex-military also. That should nicely fit the 6 p.m. news tonight, as reported by the liar on NBC.

And you’ll be shot dead by cowboy cops thinking you are the perp. Unless there is total anarchy on the streets, it’s very wise to stay indoors.

Of course, if they come into your home, I’d say all bets are off.

Yeah they did. From your first posting: "Hawke had said the incident was being treated as "an act of domestic terrorism" because it occurred at a federal building, but that the investigation has not revealed any terror link."
