All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

TAMPA, Fla. — A man who sped away from base security on a motorcycle after an altercation at MacDill Air Force Base was shot and killed Wednesday evening, the military said.
U.S. Air Force spokesman Maj. Richard Johnson said the shooting is being investigated but it doesn't appear to be an act of terrorism.
At about 6 p.m., security was called to the altercation, which wasn't described, at a camping area inside the base, said a statement from the Air Force. A veteran was involved in the altercation with another person, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly.
One of the people sped away on his motorcycle and security tried to stop him, the news release said.
He evaded them and went to the Dale Mabry Gate. Law enforcement engaged him and he was shot, the military said. No one else was injured. The Air Force did not release the dead man's name.
"Our security forces personnel acted promptly to safeguard the base and its personnel," Col. Larry Martin, 6th Air Mobility Wing commander, said in the statement.
The base was not under lockdown but the Dale Mabry Gate remains closed. The RV camping area is only used by people with base access.
Outside the base, about a dozen cars were waiting at the gate. A uniformed military officer stood near barricades, and several media outlets congregated in a parking lot across the street from the entrance gate.
Tampa police and MacDill base security were investigating. However, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said Air Force officials will release all information about the shooting.
MacDill, located south of downtown Tampa, is home to U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East and Central Asia.
10 Connects reporter Beau Zimmer has learned the man was in the "Family Camp" area of the base and got into an altercation. He got onto a motorcycle and sped off, trying to leave the base and refusing demands he stop.
The was shot at the main gait on Dale Mabry Avenue when he allegedly threatened an FBI Liason Agent with a knife.
The gate remains closed tonight, but two other gates have re-opened following a lockdown.
The man has identified as an Army veteran who was a guest at the Family Camp, a MacDill spokesman said.
