Marine Tyler Jackson attempts hijacking bus near White House

CWORet sends us a link to Fox News which reports that 24-year-old Tyler Jackson who attempted to hijack a double-decker tourist bus in downtown DC, near the White House for some reason;

Police said the incident happened around 8 p.m., when the bus was stopped and nearly 60 people were on the top deck observing the White House. Jackson screamed at the bus driver, ran onto the bus and began beating the driver, witnesses and the driver told FOX 5.

The driver, who asked to remain anonymous, said Jackson yelled, “get out of here” and struck her multiple times in the face and head. She said she had no idea why Jackson attacked her.

The Secret Service arrested Jackson, a Marine sergeant at Quantico, and then turned him over to the Metro PD.

From Fox5 DC;

Jackson was charged with simple assault, unarmed carjacking, failure to obey, and resisting arrest. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Monday and was released. Jackson was ordered to stay away from the White House and was scheduled to be back in court on Nov. 13.

      Had you not made that observation, I might have felt compelled to do so 🙂

      You can say that again.

      Oh wait.. you already did.

      Crazypants Wednesdays???

      1. JacktheJarhead

        Betcha there was alcohol involved.

      2. Ex-PH2

        Yeah, but I never beat the crap out of bus drivers when I was three sheets to the wind. Of course, I wasn’t on the bus at the time, either, but still…

        On the other hand, being three sheets to the wind was on a seldom-if-ever basis for me.

    Those damn bath salts…

    Jeezus H.Christ on a leaky bamboo raft, what next?

      Trump is going to be BBQing live black, muslim and hispanic babies on the South Lawn near the Rose Garden and serving them while still wiggling.

      /well, you don’t want to over cook them. Then they just get tough. Sheesh, don’t you guys know *ANYTHING*?!?!?!

    We’ve really got to quit asking “How crazy can you be?”

    Some of these folks are taking that as a challenge to set new lows, as if they were getting into the Guinness World Book of Records or sumptin’.

  8. That was truly “Bernathian Behavior”. Probably trying to get a mental evaluation so that he can get out of the “Corpse”. Shit, Klinger just wore dresses, wigs. n panties in his effort.

    1. Gravel

      Yeah, but it never worked for Klinger. lol

    Let’s see. . . checking rolls. . . . .Woo-hoo! He’s not one of mine! When I read “a Marine sergeant at Quantico” I started to get nervous!!

    1. PFM

      Yeah, but you’ll likely get caught up in command directed extracurricular briefings for all not involved 🙂 .

    Must be something in the water at Quantico. Maybe he is in the chain of command of the Colonel busted down in Florida soliciting, and decided to throw himself on the (Marmaluke or NCO?) sword to draw attention away from the Colonel.

    1. CWORet

      I dunno. Been drinking it for many years now. Never attempted to hijack a double-decker tour bus.
      Yet.

    2. CWO5USMC

      Ever the conspiracy theorist Hack?

      BTW, haven’t you been drinking that Quantico water for awhile now?

      1. Hack Stone

        Hack is no longer aboard Quantico. When he is not handling media relations for a proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the federal government, he works for a major contractor supporting the federal government.

        1. FuzeVT

          I drink Quantico water every day, just about. My desire to hang out with prostitutes is nil. I think being a colonel who fucks up because of his dick just comes down to being a dirtbag.

    3. Ex-PH2

      Naaaaah! He’s just got a screw loose rattling around in his head.

  11. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

    Sounds like he may have been high on some something.

    1. CWORet

      Yea, that’s what I was thinking. That spice stuff or bath salts. But that can’t be because those things have been banned in VA for a long time now.
      /sarc

      They do test for those chemicals on the whiz quiz, however. If you’re going to take the chance, why not just get some regular old skanga?

      Or, maybe he’s just a nut.

    2. Mason

      What I was thinking as well.

    3. Rosalee

      Concur, very odd behavior, particularly given his orders to her

    The bus driver refused to accept crayons for bus tokens.

    and another 20 mins added to the weekend safety briefing…. what an A-hole

    1. CWORet

      Aye Vey. We might be out of weekends…

    2. A Proud Infidel®™

      Thanks to him and a few others, Weekend Safety Briefings get longer every time.

  14. Ex-PH2

    What a strange person.

  15. Dapandico

    Hell of way to get to Cuba

  16. Roh-Dog

    I don’t remember the line “hijack bus” in the Army NCO Creed but the Marines are a touch different.
    Weird times we’re living in…

    1. SFC D

      Hijack the bus, no. BUT I’ve been tossed under it more than once. All together now, sing it with me! The wheels on the bus go round and round…

      1. Roh-Dog

        I heard you were asking for it. You know, letting your misstep hang out all over the place like that.
        What’s a guy to do? You should probably mistake more carefully and choose who you mistake around.

  17. jonp

    I’m pretty sure he didn’t need that order to stay away from the White House. The Marines at Quantico have that covered

    1. CWORet

      Pretty sure he’s ‘secured’ at this time. Given where he’s actually assigned – not sure if he’s cadre or student – Guarantee he’s at least ‘under close observation’.

    2. Released was what I was wondering.
      Geez, that moron shouldn’t see the Sun until long past his fiftieth birthday.

  18. He thought the bus load of tourist were terrorists scouting for ways to penetrate White House security? See, he’s not crazy, he’s just Sgt. Gomer Pyle!
