CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Marines and sailors risked their lives for one another in Chattanooga last week, trying to distract the gunman who assaulted a naval center, helping people scale a fence for safety and returning fire at the attacker, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

One has to wonder if the "White Privilege" of the five victims resulted in King Pimple's reluctance to fall all over their corpses like he did for the nine dead pigmented ones in South Carolina.
