Saw a tweet from the base wherein it was reported the shooting was “outside but near” the base.

If it is at the base, figure the Press blames Trump in 3...2...1.

“active shooter”

Perhaps he was actually an inactive shooter. By the way, I’m now an active employee after actively eating breakfast and actively driving my car to work.

The Chinese have an interest in our military bases in Florida, perhaps this was a test to see what the response would be.

Okay I will take off my tin foil hat now. /s

MacDill is the home of CENTCOM and its contingency of ME “allies”. When I was there, they were the bane of all things civil. In my opinion, they were actively spying on the US plans for OIF (at the time).

One day I hope we will be free of all such entities (ME allies) on our soil.

Why is downtown traffic affected? Only way should be across Gandy Bridge to the Bayshore to downtown. I-75 traffic shouldn’t be affected by this. But Tampa traffic being what is, it is permanently “affected”.

Maybe the gedunk ran out of poggey bait for the airmen. Terminology is inside USMC.

Semper fi

My son-in-law is stationed at that base even though he is in the Marine Corps.

Reports here are that it was a domestic dispute that started elsewhere and ended up near the base.

Hmmm....

The Air Force bans guns.

The Marines arm everyone.

Guess where the next *active shooter* is found?

Could there be a connection????????
