Shooting At Washington Naval Yard
— Pixy Misa

Four Reported Dead.

A gunman armed with a rifle and perhaps a handgun opened fire Monday at the Washington Navy Yard — killing at least four people and wounding at least six more, including a security guard and a city police officer, authorities said.

There are a lot of reports about the number of shooters and the number of dead and wounded. As always with breaking news like this, it is best to assume 50% "facts" being reported right now are false.

Responding from the last thread:

 

possibly two shooters. two different types of rounds in the vics. one trapped in stairwell. swat looking for others


Posted by: thunderb at September 16, 2013 10:49 AM (zOTsN)

 

This is fishy to me.    Two different rounds doesn't necessarily mean two shooters.  There may be one shooter with multiple weapons.  

 

I'm still going to hold off   on   the media reports of multiple shooters.

 

 

Also, oh goody,   Rex the Wonder   C*nt is here.   Someone punch    it in its facehole, will ya?

>>>Dumb question: was is this "naval yard."?

 

Not so dumb. Never been to the DC one, but if its like Brooklyn its essentially an industrial area where a lot of welders, boiler mechanics, electricians, etc go to refit ships, or build them, whatever.

 

What that means for this story is that there are a LOT of civilians, easily outnumbering the military, and while security should be being handled by the Navy, they are kinda notorious for being lax in that regard - for instance, they'll stick a kid at the ropes with a nightstick to patrol around for rats, have one guy with a pistol roaming around, and the gate kid will have a radio.

33 Of course I say that just as the police themselves say that there are two shooters. But I suppose I was correct in saying I would be surprised. I am.

I'd still take it with a grain of salt.

The police are just as prone to getting the facts wrong in the chaos as the press.

39 19 "One of the morons told me the Navy Yard is a big supply hub." Less and less with every budget round. It's increasingly office space. However, during the ongoing conversion period, the warehouse 'mentality' still tends to prevail. It's main 'strategic' value -- if that's the right term -- lies in its relative proximity to the national Capital center. Even then, it's a mile distant.

In the wake of this most recent troll Tweet by fatboy Frum, it is important to point out that no one has put a bullet through Frum's head for being a fat fucking imbecile, despite his     ridiculous belief that America's gun owners   are all crackpot lunatics.

As far as I'm aware it also has no known connection to an actual shooter, since   we don't know who the fuck did the shooting.  

 

Dear DHS,

 

Please,   hold off on your pronouncements until after we actually know what the shit is going on.    Otherwise you just look desperate, and that's not a good look on you.

 

Sincerely,

"The President has been briefed several times about the unfolding situation at the Washington Navy Yard by Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco and Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco. The President directed his team to stay in touch with our federal partners, including the Navy and FBI, as well as the local officials.  We urge citizens to listen to the authorities and follow directions from the first responders on site."

As much as I love the A10s (us Infantry guys LOVE A10s), the loss of tankers would be catastrophic since the new KC46s aren't even projected to start entering service for at least two years. That's to say, if they even get built at all.

420 so back to two or three shooters?
all disgruntled?
perhaps witness's  are confused?
so 1 in fatigues and two in street clothing?

Posted by: willow at September 16, 2013 08:32 AM (nqBYe)

421 I hope it is not more than one shooter. Who's jurisdiction would this case be? Jag? Local police? FBI? Can there be true justice in a case like this, with obama in charge, especially if it is multiple shooters, and if any are black?

JEF talkin about "mass shootings".  Look for gun grabbing to commence anew.  Look forward to more recalls in response to the response. 

 

he is talkin about so many shootings and how we need to prevent them

425 Why not one word about possibly hundreds dead in Colorado from Obama? (hundreds still missing)

Posted by: SamIam at September 16, 2013 08:35 AM (HMI9a)

426

My guess is that it was one shooter and unreliable witnesses.  There would be more dead and wounded if there were multiple shooters.

427 Obama called it a tragedy. A tragedy is dying of leukemia. Awful and horrible, but not an act of man. This is a crime or terrorism.

took place on a federal installation.  Should be fed jurisdiction, although the fed  can waive jurisdiction and give the case to local prosecutors since they share jurisdiction

 

JAG only involved if the perps are military.  If not, a fed or state prosecutor.  Military uniform does not mean they were military.  Could have got those at a thrift store

444 I used to live near the Navy Yard.  There is no way any old civilian can walk in with a gun and start shooting - you have to have a clearance.  My guess is it's another incident of "workplace violence."

Can you imagine how hectic the White House was this morning with people trying to come up with a plausible reason for Obama to be at the Navy Yard, standing next to a SWAT vehicle, talking into a microphone, with his shirt off?

Bob Beckel says that those nasty rednecks in the south are the reason we all have guns in the inner cities, because there are ZERO  gun laws in the south.  You can actually walk into a 7-11 and get a gun with ammo and a slurpee.

455 Academic question: if a mass shooting was ended by an LTCF holder before police could arrive, would TFG call him a hero?

I know they've been ended in the recent past by them, but the body count didn't get to mass shooting levels before it was ended (thank God). Grabbers love to ignore the deaths prevented aspect.

457  " I used to live near the Navy Yard. There is no way any old civilian can walk in with a gun and start shooting - you have to have a clearance."

 

Well, "clearance" can be as little as having an appointment. 

 

If you arrive around 7:45-8:00 am, you pull into the visitor's parking and go into the security building.  They check the sheet and if you're on it they give you a temporary badge and cardboard sign you put on the dashboard of your car that has the building number you are going to. 

 

No one ever searched the car or frisked me.  No metal detector to step through.

Posted by: Stringer Davis at September 16, 2013 09:05 AM (JNUY4)

462 Here's how it's going to play out in the media:

If identity of the perpetrators helps the progressive Narrative, this shooting was merely a symptom of larger problems in our society that demand a national conversation and immediate action.

If it hurts the progressive Narrative, they were "isolated lone wolves."  Move along; nothing to see here.
