Breaking: Shots fired inside D.C. naval facility

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

I guess maybe with today's climate the guards might have loaded M-16's.

Yes I had thought it was mostly an Admin type base.

Yes, back in 98 when Clinton started bombing Somalia, that's when we started doing gate guard. But we had unloaded M16's. I remember asking what would happen if something would happen, how would we defend ourselves. They would have to call like 5 people just to get permission to unlock the ammo in the armory. I remember thinking, it's cool, we'll be dead by the 2nd phone call.

Second, you need to open your eyes. Mental illness doens't just apply to white people.

I am glad we have broken the race barrier on that, for so long we carried the stigma of mental illness alone

Some things never change..Yes I walked many a guard duty with an unloaded M-16

My friend on FB asked, how this can happen on base without an over whelming quick response..Here was my response

Weapons and ammunition are tightly controlled on bases. You are not allowed to have ammo outside the firing range usually, unless you are an MP, base police etc. All weapons are stored in a secure weapons locker. In order to respond they would have to be issued their weapons,do an ammo request, get clearance from HQ etc etc. You would get a quicker armed response in almost any County Neighborhood. Military bases are 100% gun free zones if you want your own personal weapon

Oh yes, because we know you guys have such a burden being white.

(maybe I'm taking this out of context but)

1) What a racist comment. AND 2) Thanks for trying to lay a racist guilt trip on me. Do you need a tissue?

SMH - You certainly have a slick way of preaching white hate. Kudos.

(yep. I feel a bit perturbed right now. Does it come through in my words?)

Wait, so are we or aren't we allowed to put blame on Congress when things go wrong? Or does it depend who the President is at the time?

Someone just dared to put some blame on Congress for some of Obama's failings and practically got laughed at for it.

It's only ok to place blame on congress when it works for them.

You are. If you're looking for racist comments, try stating with lost's comment and work backwards:

Affirmative action National Security Style. An otherwise unemployable black male, aged 34, a drifter with a bad discharge, with no important skills, was hired by a Defense Department Contractor to meet that contractors black employment targets. I say black because, obviously hiring an American citizen of Korean , Taiwanese or Brazilian ancestry would not meet DoD/USG standards.

He was only able to find employment after his discharge as a waiter in a Thai immigrants storefront restaurant

He had a security clearance into the most classified US Navy installation as a civilian two years later. He had .a history of gun violence he was able to not only get a security clearance but access to the US Navy SeaSystems Command in Washington, D.C. If you are a white man and come out of your house and start shooting the tires of cars parked in front of your residence I can guarantee you you will be arrested, jailed and be prosecuted. That is a very serious offense. Most likely a felony in all 50 states! Join the armed forces with that in your criminal history?

It's amazing how when it's clearly aimed at black people, no one sees it. I crack a joke, and all of the sudden I'm the black version of David Duke.

Confirmed I did not take it out of context. It's a stand alone.

You don't know me Marvin & you don't know what "burdens" I've carried and overcome. Please stop labeling me by my color. Please stop attacking my skin color.

I know a few jokes..is it okay for me to share? Nope = Coz then it's called hate.

Dude - IMO - you're a racist. A bigoted racist.

Who is attacking your skin color? And you don't know me or my burdens as well, so don't address me like you do. If you're going to ignore the blatent racist comments by others here but attack the person who calls it out, right back at you.

I wish folks would stop calling it a military base.

You attacked my skin color with your racist joke.

Which part of my "address" do you find offensive?

I attacked your racist joke & blatant display of racist fueled white hate speech. You perped it so you became the target of the attack.

Keep going Marvin - You're almost at a breakthrough moment = Stop living in denial & face the facts = (in your Black world) White hate is justified but not for them Whites. Nope. Them Whites gotta stop hatin' on the Black community.

That state of denial you live in is called bigotry.

We see a pattern here from liberals , never judge all Muslims by the actions of a few crazy lunatics but DO judge all gun owners by a few crazy lunatics.

I don't judge all gun owners. Whether someone owns a gun or not doesn't particularly matter to me. I've never asked anyone in my real life if they own a gun because I'm afraid of them being crazy lunatics.

I judge the people who aren't willing to take a step back from their love of guns and actually have a conversation about the problem in this country. I also judge the people who aren't willing to take a step back from their hatred of guns and have the same conversation.

Here we go with the video games. As long as we're talking about everything but guns.

Also, I am picking up GTA V today. Hope it doesn't turn me into a maniac.
