Navy officer may be prosecuted for shooting Chattanooga jihadist
Jihad Watch ^ | 8/2/15 | Robert Spencer

If this happens, it will confirm that in Obama’s America, jihad terrorist lives matter. Those of their victims, not so much. “Revealed: Navy Officer Did Something Heroic During Chattanooga Shooting, But May Be PUNISHED For It,” by James Beattie, Western Journalism, July 22, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred.

Mohammod Abdulazeez was slain last Thursday after allegedly firing dozens of shots at two separate military facilities, including the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga. The cold-blooded assault killed four Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist.

The center’s commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times. A report from The Washington Post said that one of the Marines killed in the shooting might have been carrying a 9 mm Glock and possibly returned fire on Abdulazeez. The Navy officer could face disciplinary action for violating policy about possessing a weapon on the facility that was supposed a gun-free zone. The investigation into the attack is ongoing, and authorities will not know if White or the Marine hit Abdulazeez until an autopsy and a ballistics report have been completed. The recruiting center, the other building at which the gunman fired, was reopened Monday….

Apparently not. If they can’t be the first ones to actually name Islamic Terrorism what makes you think they can interpret anything correctly?

I also submit that any location GAO or the military leases is considered as government property if I am not mistaken.

“Why the information blackout?”

First, it was on a military installation, so to have a pretty effective blackout, the Military chain of command simply has to order the people there not to divulge any information to anyone.

Second, the facts may well conflict with the agenda that this administration wants to push. We have seen it over and over and over. If the facts are unfavorable to the administration, they hide the facts.

He could have told his men to shut up and not admit anything. That’s what I would have done.

Have his men lie for him? Negative. He should take responsibility for his actions. I believe he is.

I was just following orders would not be a defense for an immoral act.... The law and orders for not arming military personal is immoral because it leaves are troops defenseless. This was not the first attack on personal, our troops are under constant warning of attack and congress is working to repeal this law. I think a case can be made that it was immoral for this Lt. Commander to “just follow orders”.

Weren’t we first told the militant islamic terrorist was shot by a Chattanooga police officer? How long have they known? They should give the Purple Heart to all the dead and wounded and The Navy Cross to those who defended themselves and fellow service personnel. Heroes who had the initiative and foresight to be able to respond to an armed attack on the US and US Military, that’s what they were there for.

That was the initial report. Since then, there has been practically nothing on it.

I can't help but think that if the police were the ones who chased this guy down and shot him, they would be the first ones to be all over the TV screens taking credit for "stopping" a deadly terrorist. So would the mayor, crowing about how well his police department did in protecting the public. There is a lot of political hay to be made from this in the right circumstances.

Instead... *crickets*

Except, mine is honorable. You'd know that, if you were ever in the military.

"...are we really going to punish this guy who used his own gun to fight back against the Jihadist attack?? We would really do that???" In Obama's America? In a heart beat.
