Car catches fire after attempt to break onto California Marine base

A car caught on fire after its driver tried to enter illegally through the main gate of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, on Friday evening.

“We can confirm at approximately 6:30 p.m. there was an attempt to gain unauthorized access to the installation,” the Marine base announced via Twitter Friday night. “The MCB Camp Pendleton Provost Marshall Office deployed the final denial barriers and disabled the vehicle.”

“After the vehicle made contact with the final denial barriers, it did ignite on fire,” 1st Lt. Taylor Schrick, a spokeswoman for the base, added in a statement to Marine Corps Times.

Video that circulated on social media and on local news station ABC 7 appears to show the front part of a car engulfed in flames, having hit security barriers sticking out of the ground.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I can't imagine anyone with near the stupidity it would take to try and break INTO a Marine base. **nononono*
