Shooting At Fort Meade After Driver Tries To Ram Gate Police Say

I really hope this doesn't turn out to be just a couple of innocent trans citizens who took a wrong turn and were confronted by out-of-control gun-slingers.

ETA: Just read the previous page, maybe they really did accidentally go to it, and if it was robbery gone bad then would make sense why they didn't want to be talked to.

The exit is clearly marked by multiple signs as being for NSA employees only, authorized personnel only, etc. You don't get to the gate without driving past a number of clearly marked signs.

Eta - saw the new update. Maybe they thought they could get turned around there. Or that the gate wouldn't have armed officers. Whatever. I would put money on stupidity before innocence.

And a couple of "innocent" trans citizens who just happened to have coke and at least one weapon in their car and then got in a shootout, after ramming a police vehicle? Seems like a lot of deliberate acts for a pair of innocents.

That's weird. The NSA building seems to me like a low-priority target. One would feasibly go after congress first. Or the WH. Something where the people who FUND the NSA could be taken out.

One can only hope that a terrorist would never ever attack the very heart of the US...the IRS. As long as no terrorist ever ever harms the IRS then we will always be victorious.

Terrorists are the IRS. They blow up bank accounts with auditor bombs.

If comments on ATS are "uncalled for" then nothing would ever be posted for comment. But you direct this just at me.
I'm ok with that. I did not see sarcasm in your post...and I commented. Done deal.

These have GOT the be some of the unluckiest men EVER! First they rob a hotel (I assume they ran without paying????) where they had been partying and doing drugs. Then they take a wrong turn and end up at the NSA! Now all things considered that would be bad enough; but it goes further. For whatever reason, they don't stop. They ram the gates and get into a shoot out! Stupid dumb criminals. If nothing else they make life interesting.

Take a walk on the wild side... doot doo doot, doot doo doot..

None of this is being reported here in the UK, or at least it wasn't, haven't checked the article recently.
All we had here was an update to the piece that they were "near" the gates of NSA, on a road approaching the entry. No mention of weapons or drugs at all.

Still, as for the rest of your post, stupidity is not a criminal offense punishable by execution, if it were your population would drop by 3/4 in a week.

Porridge seems a bit cool here.

All I can suggest is that you look at more than one article perhaps? Googling "ft Meade" will give you a myriad of recently updated articles. Pro tips and such.

As for the "Americans are stupid" comment: yes, because we have such a lock on that, eh? Certainly no stupid people anywhere else, right? Lol hilarious

And no, being stupid shouldn't be punishable by death. But typically running in to an occupied police vehicle and then shooting at cops will get it done

After watching "Pain & Gain" I can see a funny movie about this...

They refused to follow directions, had stolen the car they were in, had a gun and coc aine, and then rammed a police car.
Hardly innocent.
