A report at The Navy Times in July confirmed that one of the Marines shot during the Chattanooga terrorist attack exchanged fire with the terrorist. Navy Lt. Cmdr Timothy White also shot back at the terrorist.
But rather than being celebrated as a hero, Lt. Commander White may be charged for discharging a firearm on federal property.
Allen West reported this week that Lt. Commander Timothy White
Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.
The text message asked if it would be possible for Lt.Cmdr White to reach out to me. To wit I replied, affirmative.
What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces — pardon me, our “unArmed Forces”? What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center? Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors. Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf. But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack. I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.
Folks, this has become the Obama military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected — but will punish them if they do protect themselves. What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz? What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform — especially the commanders — are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?
Outrageous.
FUBAR
This can’t possibly be true. Satire?
Hasan and Bergdahl agree.
Democrats happened.
This story smells like BS. Total and utter BS.
Of course they’re going to charge him, can’t have infidels defending themselves........./s
He got 3x the number of our guys killed in Afghanistan than the previous president with his ROE.
Anyone associated with these charges and advancing them along, should be given an immediate reason to find new employment.
Maybe the Mosque down the road is hiring.
Pentagon insanity on parade. Obonzo’s “fundamentally transformed” Amerika really sucks! When attacked by Islamoterrorists, it is your duty as an American, to NOT FIGHT BACK TO DEFEND YOURSELF! Obonzo can KMA!
Evidently Commander White is not black.
When is our military going to say, “ENOUGH”?
Opening for ANY REPUBLICAN...if they have the gonads.
Don’t be surprised if Trump quickly nails it, yet again, here. While the others wait for their ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) to tell them how they should respond.
If true, another obamshitsky W-T-F moment!
The U.S. Navy owes me a new mind. They just blew the only one I have.
Sorry folks - I’m going to back the Navy on this one.
Federal Law is crystal clear on this one.
18 U.S. Code § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities.
How many other times had this Officer violated the law *prior* to this shooting will likely be the focus of the Article 32 hearing if I were to guess....
The only exceptions are for :
(d) Subsection (a) shall not apply to—
(1) the lawful performance of official duties by an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision thereof, who is authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of any violation of law;
(2) the possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon by a Federal official or a member of the Armed Forces if such possession is authorized by law; or
(3) the lawful carrying of firearms or other dangerous weapons in a Federal facility incident to hunting or other lawful purposes.
