Attempted Breach of NSA HQ Checkpoint; One Shot Dead
seven of five writes One man is dead and another severely injured after a shootout at one of the main gates of the National Security Agency located at Fort Meade, Maryland. Two men dressed as women attempted to 'penetrate' the entry point with their vehicle when a shootout occurred, officials said. The FBI said they do not believe the incident is related to terrorism.
Being dressed as women has nothing to do with putting 'penetration' in quotes, unless there is some sort of joke I'm missing. Why is it in quotes?
Because it's not clear from the statement what exactly took place. Did they bump a barricade lightly while trying to peacefully leave the checkpoint, and in turn get pursued by the guards and shot to death despite being unarmed and showing no actual malice? We will have to wait for more details to emerge.
Indeed lube always helps with penetration.
Having visited the NSA facility myself many years ago, it is incredibly stupid. The military guards at the NSA are extremely alert, extremely competent, and very well armed. They will not hesitate to point a gun in your direction, or open fire if you fail to immediately comply with their orders.
They are not your typical security guards or your typical police. They are a level above that, and you do not want to mess with them.
No. Terrorism is a word to referencing 1st graders eating their poptart in the shape of a gun.
Or it just means that they're white.
Most acts of terrorism perpetrated in the US are by white, native born US citizens. It's just not politically expedient to call abortion clinic bombers, church/mosque/synagogue burners, or treehuggers that sabotage logging operations 'terrorists'
Terrorist is, in the public eye, means foreign brown person that practices some pagan religion (Yes, I'm aware the irony of that in light of what religions are an arent considered Abrahamic.)
Reminds me of the time in the mid-70's when we were going from Boulder to Arvada via the road south to Golden and mistakenly turned at the entrance to Rocky Flats (where the "triggers" for nukes were made). We pulled up to the security shack and the guard politely told us that we needed to back up, turn around, go back to the highway and take the next turn. We asked if we could pull forward a few feet and make a u-turn around the guard shack and he said that if we moved forward, he'd have to shoot us. We kindly thanked him for his assistance, backed up, turned around and got the hell out of there.
Well, thanks to the omnipresent (and privacy-invading) video-taping, we know, he really did rough-up the clerk. Without the video, who could've guessed the gentle momma boy could've hurt a fly on his way out of a convenience store with stolen goods?..
Yes, someone in this thread is attempting to rewrite history... I guess, I'm a KKK too now...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
