Reporting on the death of Marine Lance Cpl. Richard Rivera Jr. while he was working out in the base gym by, Aynoddin, a local police chief’s cabana boy, or tea boy or whatever, the LA Times’ Sam Quinones<\/a> tried to make the attack look as if it was somehow related to the relationship between the Lance Corporal and the killer;<\/p>\n

But on Aug. 10, Rivera was shot to death as he worked out in a camp gymnasium \u2014 where Marines are prohibited from bringing weapons \u2014 by a 15-year-old Afghan soldier he’d been training. Two other Marines also were killed in the shooting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We know from the first articles on the attack that the murderer, which we wrote about last month<\/a>, was a complete failure of whatever policies were in place that allowed the teenage jihadist to wander the base with unrestricted access while carrying a loaded weapon. Then, although Marines weren’t allowed to carry their weapons in the gymnasium, the jihadist was allowed in with his weapon while he was searching out unarmed targets for his nefarious plans.<\/p>\n

In the original article, the Washington Post reported Aynoddin’s relationship to the police;<\/p>\n

According to both U.S. and Afghan officials, his role on base was hardly formal: He was the unpaid, underage personal assistant of the district police chief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was clearly the failure of whoever made policy that allowed the teen to range the base with a loaded and forced Marines to leave their weapons out of the gym, but I guess that Sam Quinones has an agenda. The Post writes;<\/p>\n

Aynoddin should never have been on the base in the first place, because Afghan and American security standards wouldn\u2019t have allowed it. Those standards are often violated, however, especially by the country\u2019s nascent police force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Personally, I more concerned about the dipshit who won’t allow Marines to arm themselves, while at the same time allows a 15-year-old in an unofficial capacity to carry a loaded weapon around the same area. Since I’ve never been to J-school, I don’t have Quinones’ lack of common sense.<\/p>\n
