"Marine Corps MuseumIn the latest in a mysterious rash of attacks on military targets, shots were fired at the National Museum of the Marine Corps after it closed Thursday night, Virginia police say. It's the second time the museum has been shot at in recent days, and the fourth time recently that a military-related building in the area has been shot at.

A Prince William County police spokeswoman said investigators found several bullet holes at the museum in Triangle, Va., about 30 miles south of the Pentagon."....

Police suspect the shooter used a high-velocity rifle in each case. No one has been hurt.

It would seem that the perp is either a very bad shot, or a very good one. I wonder which?

Quite possibly the best museum you will ever visit.

I like how local police are described as confounded. And I was pretty damn sure the first two shootings were related, even when the police were still insisting that there was no relationship. It’s either a leftist or a mohammedan pig.

The latest is that the FBI suspects a disgruntled former Marine is to blame. Did these macaroons hire former Chief Moose from Montgomery County MD as a consultant? Years ago he said that the WDC snipers were “white men in a white van”. That racist presumption led to the killing of several more innocents. The big question is: was the Presidential limo seen speeding around these sites on the days in question? It usually carries a fellow who is known to have anti-American and anti-military views.

Actually, the current LEO thought is that it is a ‘disgruntled vet with PTSD’. I think that is insulting.

Where was William Ayres at the time of the shootings?

Good museum; but the uninitiated would leave there not knowing there was any connection between the Navy and the Marines. This was deliberate, and a mistake IMO.

I still am convinced it is somebody employed by —or encouraged by the Poser in Chief. Either a gay USMC reject—
or just some useful idiot used by the President to provide the
pressure from below to advance his Communist dialectic for change-and encourage like minded useful idiots in Congress to
repeal DADT and order open homosexuality within the ranks so we can be just like 29 other nations that never have been never will be under our Constitution.The enemy is in the Congress— and in the Executive-sadly even our highest Court is now infected with this unAmerican insanity. If caught will he be forced to disclose names?—I highly doubt it would be published even if he is caught and sings.

In another thread the FBI was saying it was a “disgruntled Marine”... I laughed, doubtful its a Marine, disgruntled or otherwise because no one has been hit.

If it was a Marine, or a Marine Sniper, trust me the FBI would know it based upon nothing more than the body count.

I bet you a steak dinner when this guy/guys are caught they’ll have names like Abdullah, Mohammed or Achmed...

My point is the Naval capabilities, amphibious etc. are the Marines special sauce. If you go to the museum it looks like the Marines are 'just like the Army'. So to the uninitiated when they hear "well the Marines are redundant" what do you think those ignoramuses are gonna do?

Like I said the jarheads out witted themselves on this one. Stupid call to make the museum like that- a Navy free zone. Dumb.
