Mutiny: Retired Navy captain plans blockade to protest closure of Florida waters
Examiner ^ | 7 October 2013

Posted on 10/07/2013 1:08:58 PM PDT by 11th_VA

“As you are well aware,” wrote Retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief Geoff Ross -- in a message posted by Fred Brownbill on Save America Foundation Sunday -- the federal government “has illegally and unconstitutionally closed state fishing and navigational waters within the 12 mile boundary of state waters.”

When logging onto the U.S. Department of Interior website, visitors are greeted with this message, posted Oct. 1 by the National Park Service:

Because of the federal government shutdown, all national parks are closed and National Park Service webpages are not operating. For more information, go to www.doi.gov.

...

I want 1000 to 2000 charter boats filling the water way that was closed and confiscated illegally by President Obama under his White House order. DEFY IT ! Its illegal.

“I’m going to fill my waterway with boats,” Ross told Examiner Monday. “Charter boats, rowboats, canoes, kayaks, I don’t care.”

Just fill it. We’re going to fill it.

I’m checking my resources to see if I can afford to pull my boat to Pensacola, and test the waters. Evil has to be resisted.

Now this is leadership. And "optics"! As political "optics" go, thousands of boats in these waters is SOLID GOLD!

Not to in any way disparage the Navy Chief’s patriotism and dedication to service to his country, but the rank of Senior Chief is a high level enlisted rank while Captain is a senior officers’ rank.
Navy daughter.
If I’m wrong, please correct me.

As usual the media doesn’t know the difference between a Senior Chief Petty Officer and a Four Stripe Captain,

Yeah. It is. Too bad it’s not in Virginia. We love this sort of stuff. Must be something in the water.

Good. We need hundreds of non-violent protests like this. But beware. The fascists in government are looking for a confrontation.

I don't think so. It's more like the Obama thinking was that people would whine but do nothing. Thus he'd be confirming how weak and ineffectual we are against his dictates. The only strong contradiction to that was the WWII vets. They knew that to get something done, do it. Don't test the waters and take polls first....just do what's right for your situation.
