The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are the best of the best.
Just look at this precision flying:
But there's one thing about the Blue Angels no one talks about:
They're cat killers (allegedly).
That's what Seattle woman Lauren Ann Lombardi claims.
According to Kiro 7 news,
Lauren Ann Lombardi filed a complaint in U.S. District Court on July 21, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against three Navy officers in their official capacities: Cmdr. Adam Bryan, Lt. Ben Bushong, and an unnamed social media administrator.
According to the lawsuit, Lombardi claims the Blue Angels' annual flight demonstrations over Seattle in August 2023 and 2024 subjected her pet cat, Layla, to extreme distress.
She says the distress was so great that Lombardi had to have Layla put down in August 2024.
And just so you know, it had absolutely nothing to do with Layla's congestive heart disease; according to her, it was solely the noise from the jets that resulted in the cat's death.
Lombardi is also suing over a First Amendment complaint, since the Navy Blue Angels blocked her from posting profanity-laced tirades on their social media pages about the death of her cat.
‘She was prevented from commenting, receiving information, or participating in public discussions on the page,' the complaint states. ‘This action violates her First Amendment rights by suppressing criticism of government conduct.'
She's suing for her social media account to be unblocked, for Navy personnel to undergo First Amendment training, and for legal costs.
Essentially, she just wants to continue spouting off on the Navy's page!
