Chattanoogans Stand Up For Lt. White
Lt. Commander Tim White, who was on duty on Amnicola Highway when Mohammad Abdulazeez opened fire claims he shot back.
Debate has raged over whether or not White should have been allowed to carry and shoot his personal weapon in retaliation.
Crissy Essex, Chattanoogans For Justice,"Put the guns, arm our military, make somebody stand out there at all the naval centers".
The activists believe White should be given a medal not punished for his actions.
Mike Ferracco, Florida Native,"We were told by inside sources that he is still being investigated, it is just a waste of resources, time, energy and money, this is ridiculous".
Half a dozen protestors held up signs and talked to passersby outside the federal courthouse from noon onwards.
Tex Luther, St Elmo,"If he’s not armed, how can he a member of the armed forces, he’s supposed to be protecting our rights, which he doesn’t lose his rights because he joins the military".
Agitated members of the public shouted back in support.
"This whole thing is not right, nothing like what my father fought and died for".
White was the commanding officer of the Amnicola navy facility.
He was an honorary speaker at the memorial service held at McKenzie arena 2 weeks ago.
