I'd like to say this is a new low for the Obama administration, but it was predictable based upon his record. When he was in the Illinois Senate, there was an incident where a military vet had moved into a Chicago suburb and brought his handgun with him not realizing there was a handgun ban in that town. He also didn't have a FOID card yet. His home was broken into, and several items taken...including his keys. A few days later, the crooks returned...this time while he was home, and while his kids were asleep. So, he did what ANY good father would do and he shot the MFer who had invaded his home. The shooting was deemed "justified", but he was prosecuted for violating the handgun ban AND "illegally" possessing a firearm without a FOID. The state legislature quickly moved to create an affirmative defense to those charges if the ONLY reason you were caught was because you used the weapon to defend your family/self inside your home. Obama, of course, voted against the measure. So, with his history I'm not surprised his administration is looking to punish the GOOD GUY who was able to help STOP a deadly attack because he made sure the bad guy wasn't the ONLY one with a gun in the alleged "gun free" zone.

If charges are filed, I hope people rise up in defense of common sense and put a quick end to the trial as well as the political careers of all involved in the decision to press charges. IF EVER there was a case for jury nullification, THIS IS IT!

We are fighting for our Southern Heritage tomorrow morning in Memphis Court. Pray for us or be there to have your say.

The 1st "lady" already made her comments on General Forrest and his wife today...along with the CSA Memorial in Arlington and Mount Rushmore. My Family fought on both sides. That is history. . . .deal with it or ignore it and get to repeat it.

I guess only minority and "pretty History" is allowed in their world.

Hope the court defeats the anti history groups. Paul

Naval officer could face discipline for using handgun at recruiting center

The Washington Post / August 5, 2015

In the days after the attack on military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., last month, a complicated picture of what occurred began to emerge.

Among the details: At least one service member, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, opened fire on the shooter using his personal firearm before the shooter was killed by police.

The attack on the Naval Reserve support center in Chattanooga left four Marines and a Navy sailor dead, and it spawned a debate about whether the U.S. military should arm more service members who work out of small, unguarded facilities like recruiting stations and reserve centers.

But it also spawned questions about whether White could face discipline for carrying and discharging a privately owned handgun on federal property, where it was not allowed.

On Saturday, conservative columnist Allen B. West took the issue on, saying that he could "confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property."

He did not identify his source, and followed by criticizing Pentagon leaders, the Navy and President Barack Obama.

"Can you imagine the message this sends to ISIS and all the enemies of America?" West wrote, using an acronym for the Islamic State militant group. "We are going to end his career and court-martial a man who drew his sidearm to protect his command, and the assigned Sailors and Marines. "

Presidential candidate Jim Webb, D-Va., a Marine war hero and former Navy secretary, also raised concerns Saturday night on Twitter: "Navy charging LCDR Tim White w/ a crime for trying to defend our sailors & Marines in.Chattanooga? He deserves a medal, not an indictment."

Perhaps aware of the questions his tweet raised, Webb followed up with more context Sunday. "Before tweeting last night, we confirmed with a defense official that the Navy was seriously considering charging LCDR Timothy White." Webb followed up with: "The charge being considered is illegally discharging a firearm on federal property. No on the record comment was offered."

The Navy responded to questions about the case Sunday on its Facebook page, saying that "stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offense are not true.

"There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident, but at this time we can confirm no service member has been charged with an offense," the Navy added.

On Monday, officials at the Pentagon went even further, telling The Washington Post that criminal charges are unlikely in White's case. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the open investigation.

Navy Cmdr. William J. Marks, a service spokesman, said that White's actions remain under review as part of a broader assessment, known as a preliminary inquiry, into what occurred in Chattanooga.

"Until the facts of that preliminary inquiry have all been reviewed, it is simply too early to speculate on what may happen with any particular individual," Marks said.

The situation has continued to raise questions, though. Some have noted that the Navy said no service member has been charged with an offense "at this time," leaving the possibility it could occur later.

Tens of thousands of supporters also have signed an online petition to the White House for White, saying he and anyone else who opened fire on the shooter - Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24 - deserves a medal for valor rather than a punishment.

Among those who have weighed in are actor James Woods ("Yes, Timothy White should be 'punished.' Make him an Admiral") and television personality Montel Williams, a Navy veteran ("Jim the Navy HASN'T charged him. Investigating sure, but NO charge is pending. Let's let them actually do it first?")

The attack on the reserve center killed Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, 40; Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, 35; Sgt. Carson A. Holmquist; Lance Cpl. Squire D. "Skip" Wells, 21; and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith, 26. Abdulazeez was killed by police officers responding to the attack.

Since the White House does not consider ISIS a threat little will happen to them.

Tattoo God Bless America on both their foreheads and drop them in the middle of an ISIS camp..
