And the much coveted "FBI Wanted" footnote.
Shooting up the entrance of an air force base: when you can count your IQ on your fingers.
The fuck they gonna do? They aren't the car force.
I mean, if they really wanted they do happen to have a shitload of drones...
Genius! Put them under the car and then lift it up. Then it's in their domain
This was a drive-by at the gate guards of a military base? That is completely insane. I can't conceive of dumber, less effective way to accomplish anything. Not even public suicide because they left.
Late last year (another Air Force base in the San Antonio area, not the above one):
Air Force security personnel fired several shots in self-defense on Saturday afternoon when a driver breached the main entry point to Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis in Texas, according to the base.
The driver, who had not yet been identified on Tuesday, drove toward the guards "at a high rate of speed in the wrong direction of traffic," said Robert Strain, a Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston spokesman.
The driver broke through the access control point and was on the installation for several minutes before turning around and speeding through the gate to exit.
The suspect did not reach any training areas located at the base, according to officials, and no injuries to Air Force personnel or property were reported.
The driver was arrested later that evening by the San Antonio Police Department, about nine miles from Camp Bullis, after involvement in a separate incident.
Also from late last year:
Vehicle Made Unauthorized Entry into Twentynine Palms, Prompting Military Police to Shoot at Driver
Military police at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, shot at a vehicle that unlawfully entered the base on Friday night.
The driver, who was a civilian, was subsequently arrested and then transported to a naval hospital for evaluation, according to the service. There were no injuries or fatalities reported by the Marine Corps on Sunday, just over a day after the shooting.
Earlier this year, another vehicle rammed barriers in an attempt to gain access to Camp Pendleton, California, and caught on fire afterward. Just southwest of Twentynine Palms, a naval base was put on lockdown in March after a vehicle entered the main gate without stopping.
That is the epitome of fucking around and find out. Probably not anyone else on a base other than MPs is armed and prepared to return fire in an emergency. But those guards are.
My takeaway is Marines have better aim lmao.
Yeah, twice. The car came back and shot at the entrance a second time a couple hours later. That's when the guards returned fire.
This is the difference between police and military though. The car showed up two hours later. If this were cops they would have began immediately firing at any vehicle that showed up probably. But since it's a military base, the car literally showed back up and they didn't fire at it until they were shot at again.
R.O.E.
That plus actual training
Whoever that is is fucked six ways from Sunday lol.
War has been declared
