Yeah holy shit. If it was 223 armor wouldn't have mattered too much. Hoping he pulls through.

The article stated "where he has two kids in school", not that he is a part of their police force.

Didn't make as much sense sober. I try not to speak out of emotion, or a head full of Jameson - both together is a bad combination.
But seriously, I hope they try that guy, fairly find him guilty, and wind chime that ****er from a gallows in the middle of the Bourne rotary. An attack on your own colleagues like that is especially wicked. Clearly I can't speak for the non-operational types, but on the operational side, you trust each other with your lives, knowing that you look out for the rest of your crew, and each of them is looking out for you. You would NEVER knowingly let them get hurt, and they do the same for you. Each man or woman on the crew, their safety is more important to you than your own, and each of them feels the same. That's how we keep ourselves safe. Instead of each man for themselves, each man has EVERYONE ELSE watching out for them. That some animal would abuse, exploit, and try to shatter that faith and trust is abhorrent. It disgusts me. I miss the days when you would never even think twice about trusting each other unconditionally. I work very hard to keep those same ideals amongst my crew, but it gets increasingly hard to get this generation to understand.
He needs a fair trial, and after that some 4x4's, lag screws, and 50 feet of 3" double braid...
[Damnit, got me off on another rant again...]

My emotional response is this guy needs to be hung by the neck until dead.
My rational response is he needs to stand trial, then be hung by the neck until dead.

It wouldn't surprise me if the CG to tries him in a court martial. I suspect punishments would be a bit more severe.
The kodiak Coast Guard shooter was convicted in US District Court, and that incident happened on base.

I hope they do. MA will sentence him to three years probation and anger management counseling. A GCM could, and likely would, sentence him to death. We all know it would never be carried out, but at least he'd be in the brig for the rest of his life.

They sure are. They get uniforms, and rates and ranks, and everything.
And some haters, too, apparently:

We used to get threats all the time at Gloucester. Hell, I got chased out of old timers, the house of Mitch, and pratty's (that was bad) after being recognized as a Coastie by a fisherman.
But to crash through the gates (which stations DIDNT have until the CG became DHS) and assault the watch stander is a bit much. Even the most pissed off Gloucester fisherman never did that....

There's are actually 6 uniformed services, of which 5 are armed.....

I was army, but I have nothing but respect for the CG. I worked on some fishing boats when I was a kid and the CG saved our ass one day when our boat died (no radio, life vests and little supplies) and we were drifting out into international waters. It's a tough, honorable and necessary job done by fine men and women.
Except for this shit bag.
yay for the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps
I met one of these guys and flat out asked him what uniform code they follow, which is a nice way of saying, "dude wtf are you wearing--I ain't never seen that at the army navy store!" IIRC they use the navy dress blues, whites and khaki but have their own insignia. Yet they also have the old fashion green BDUs as well as a number of other options depending on where they are deployed including a tropical outfit with shorts and straw safari hat. The guy told me where he is there isn't much oversight for uniform and he can pretty much chose what he wants provided it's in season and he's an officer so he buys his own gear and mostly just wears the khaki or jolly green BDUs.

Nope. Murder one conviction in MA is mandatory life without parole.
My dad was in the national health service during and after WWII. At the time they were part of the Dept of the Navy. I've got his flag on my mantle. He did a cruise as a medical officer on a Coast Guard weather ship in the north Atlantic.
1st degree murder is about the only crime in MA where the punishment is as stiff or stiffer than other states. Other crimes, the punishments are often a joke and it doesn't help but encourage dirtbags to come here and commit them. That POS Susan Smith who killed her two kids in cold blood, schemed to cover her tracks, lied about it for weeks in the press got life but eligible for parole after 30 years. She planned and murdered her two kids and she can get out someone day.

I don't know what cutter he was on. The only pictures that I saw made it look more like a destroyer than your typical cutter - painted gray and had gun turrets. This was around 1946.
