Jim Webb says Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White will face charges for ‘illegally
One source is from former congressman and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Allen West, who wrote yesterday that he had received a text message confirming that Lt. Cmdr. “Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property“. “Stories of Navy personnel being charged with an offence are not true”, the Navy stated.
The Navy is denying reports that disciplinary charges will be filed against Lt. Cmdr. “There’s nonetheless an extended approach to go in reviewing the information about this tragic incident, however, presently we will affirm no service member has been charged with an offense”.
“Even if detached, can you think of an occasion [White] added to the confusion and got mankind slayed?”
Lt. Cmdr. White has explicitly indicated that he was in possession of a personal weapon and that he did return fire, actions that are subject to review, by law.
Before tweeting last night, we confirmed with a defense official that the Navy was seriously considering charging LCDR Timothy White. Lt. Cmdr. White proven to the Knoxville Free Press on Thursday that she had put into use his special weaponry trying to terminate Abdulazeez.
The fact remains that there are sources in the Navy who are concerned enough about what is going on, they have reached out to people like Allen West, Jim Webb, and members of the media, to claim that charges are being considered. “No on the record comment was offered”.
Former Rep. Allen West, a veteran, wrote on his personal blog that he inquired about the charges in a text message and, “I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr”.
A senior defense official told Fox News on Monday morning that it is “extremely unlikely” that White would be charged; however, a proper investigation into the events in Chattanooga needed to occur. “We are exploring that”. According to the Washington Post, the Marine had used his personal weapon during the shooting. White fired his sidearm at shooter Mohammed Abdulazeez during the attack, the Times reported, citing multiple military officials familiar with internal reports.
The ban is largely due to legal issues, such as the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement. Rumours circulated that the sailor, identified as Lieutenant Commander Timothy White, was allegedly charged with illegally discharging a weapon on federal property.
Anyone who figured if White broke any rules the Navy would want that inconvenience to go away in the aftermath of Abdulazeez’s successful terrorist attack against the American homeland must have been suffering a serious bout of amnesia and forgotten what Obama is all about – normalizing the abnormal and fundamentally transforming America.
