Prayers for protection for all on base

[LyinLibs]

It’s Thursday. Aka false flag day.

Either that, or Hussein inspected the base and glimpsed a strip of bacon darting into the bushes.

Lockdown a procedure/word taken from prisons when the convicts started to riot or cause problems.

Today that means forcing unarmed people to go in rooms or homes, lock the doors, and pray that an armed killer doesn't get into the room, you are in.

Two hours in and a MILITARY BASE has not resolved the issue of a suspicious person(s) seen on base? Amazing.

Obama playing golf on the base???

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It’s officially over, but no word yet on what triggered the incident or how it was resolved.

If everyone was allowed to be armed on base, perhaps a lockdown would not be necessary!

This lockdown bullshit is getting old...on a friggin’ military base!

Latest from the link...
“Military officials said in a news release that the lockdown was ordered as a precautionary measure after a suspicious individual was reported near Building 706 at around 11 a.m. Officials said it remained in effect until 2:40 p.m. when it was lifted after the reports of a suspicious person turned out to be false.”

What a joke. Cowering for hours for nothing.

An entire military installation on “lockdown” because of “a suspicious individual.” Not even F Troop would have done this, back in the day.

Not again Laz!

My wife and I visited the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover a couple of weeks ago, and I saw this:

Is this what I think it is? If a building is in lockdown, is this where people are expected to go if there is someone with a gun? I looked up "shelter in place" and it appears to be couched as to not seem like that is what it is for, but...that sure does seem like that is what it is for.

I find that concept disturbing. Granted, this museum was not on the base, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they have these "shelter in place" areas set up on the base as well. (Can any active duty folks on here comment on this?)

I sure hope that isn't the case, because besides the fact you cannot protect yourself with a firearm on a military base if you are active military, do they expect you to run and hide in these "shelter in place" areas?

There is something alien and disturbing about that. But I could be wrong.
