autigeremt 6,600 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I heard that a Navy officer and a Marine, who fired at the terrorist in Chattanooga, TN is being brought up on federal charges for discharging a firearm. Can anyone confirm this outside of the partisan blogs and sites? Thanks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,122 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't know about the charges, but I have heard that a gun was found, possibly in violation of rules and regs. With this admin, I'd put nothing past them on charging the good guys. It's like the story of the lowly cop in Texas who took out the too Islamists at the cartoon convention. Seems it wasn't him at all who shot the bad guys, so here I don't know either. May have very well been a bullet from a Navy officer / Marine who took down the shooter. But the " official " word ... well, we know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I read this earlier today also, but didn't post because I couldn't verify from a non-partisan blog/news site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUUSN 823 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 He probably saved lives and should be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yeah we will charge him although he saved lives and let Bergdahl run around smoking pot. And he cost several guy lives who were looking for him. Where is common sense these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUUSN 823 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true. There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense," the Navy said in a statement posted to social media.

As a service member what is your opinion on whether the sailor should be charged if he disobeyed orders and saved lives with his violation of military rules?

He has NJP powers so if one of his Sailors brought a weapon into the building, he would charge that Sailor. He took a chance knowing full well he was breaking the law. Now he must set the example and take his punishment. Does it suck, yup. Like I said, take it up with your congresscritter. They made it against the law.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So we will maybe punish a Navy man for saving lives while ignoring immigration laws and paying little heed when an illegal murders a young lady in a sanctuary city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you assert a relationship between two events doesn't mean there is. 2. s*** happens. Lots and lots of it every single day. Some of it good, some of it bad.
