BTW, there are a lot of retired military on the Upper (western) Cape, and a lot of them are gun owners, so don’t go all unarmed sheeple on me.

What makes you assume that I would ‘ go all unarmed sheeple ‘ on you? Hell I live in a NYC burb and there are not as many unarmed sheeple here as one might think.

BTW another report has the guy in possession of a number of bombs.....wonder what that's all about?

The old station was on the north side of the river/harbor. It was a very typical rescue lifeboat station with a three place boat house with railroad style ramp and sleds fro pulling the boats from the water for maintenance and winter storage.

Very pleasant place to work at as I remember it. I was stationed out of Muskegon at the old lifeboat station there doing Electronic maintenance from south Chicago up to Frankfurt Michigan. Lots and lots of road time going to and fro.

Coast Guard station attack considered “act of domestic terrorism”

Part of the reason for asking people to shelter in place is so the good guys won’t mistake the local residents as the bad guys.

Of what nationality was the gate crasher? Obvious he wasn’t a tea partier or that would have been the headline.

Since they are calling it “domestic terrorism” I can assume the perp is white?

Being likely very ignorant, going only on this piece, I’d venture crazy pathetic white guy. MI, truck, calls out what is basically a warning, doesn’t actually do much, probably some white trash.

Hard to say. Universities nearby. Grand Valley State and Ferris state are both within an hour.

Yes, a lot of it was very pleasant back then, St. Joesph and Michigan City were the pits even then.

For all, the station is on the south side of the channel, about a half mile from the ends of the piers; the old rescue station is now a private residence on the north side of the channel.

Anyway, glad this was posted, I was considering going out there today.

"Authorities are on high alert in Grand Haven and are treating the incident as a domestic act of terrorism."

Who trusts "the Authorities" stated position on any event like this?

Strong indications of Jihadi motive here:

1. It happened in Michigan.

2. Authorities are not releasing the name or a photo of the perp hours after the incident.

3. Authorities are saying they are trying to determine a motive.

4. Authorities are saying they are trying to determine whether the perp acted alone.

It is very important to remember that there is no term for “lone wolf” in Islamic doctrine. Jihad is an individual as well as a collective obligation under Shariah. We should not get so worked up over the term “terrorism.” An act of Jihad is an act of Jihad whether it is committed by an organized terrorist organization or an individual acting on his own.

For at least the next 2 years, no serious steps will be taken to defend America. These incidents are becoming a part of the American landscape. Jihad is now part of the American way of life.

Largest Muslim population in Dearborn, MI. So now the Muslims are resorting to being domestic terrorists on a Coast Guard Facility. It is an oddity wasn’t there something similar in the Cape Cod Area, Massachusetts earlier this month?

There is a concentration of Muslims in Dearborn but overall there are FAR more muslims elsewhere. Michigan has been falling fast in overall muslim numbers and may rank as low as 8th these days,.
