Someone probably just wanted some beachfront property in San Diego.
And we know the government will just let them have it. So, it was probably really just a guy trying to evict trespassers from HIS land.
Yeah, I’d say that covers most everything you could do in that situation. Or, maybe all 3 simultaneously. Thanks for the advice.
WHO IS THE FUCKING IDIOT ADVISING PEOPLE TO “FIGHT” AN ACTIVE SHOOTER!?!?!?!?

This is a US Naval facility which means it is federal property which means that local law enforcement doesn’t have jurisdiction. There are people there whose duty it is to fight.
