Gonna be a long summer...

Quote:
A uniformed Secret Service officer shot and critically wounded a man who brandished a gun outside the White House Friday afternoon, authorities said.

The U.S. Secret Service said in a statement that the man approached a security gate on E Street Northwest shortly after 3 p.m. carrying a gun.

In the statement, the agency said the man refused numerous orders to drop the weapon and was shot.

People are nuts!

The first thing I thought was 'who's missing from the POC forum today'?

This will be a daily occurrence after the new POTUS takes office.

Well what can be done about this? A guy approaches a security site holding a gun refuses to put it down and bam he is shot. What was he expecting? Was it a death by cop death wish? Did he expect to get inside the white house? Was he high on drugs? Who knows but I'm glad that he was taken down before he could injure others.

That's the first thing you thought? What a twisted person. It was probably some ignorant anti gun nut trying to make a statement. Another (D) voter who won't be casting their own vote this year.

I'm more shocked that we was only wounded.

Figured the Secret Service would unload 100 shots in matter of seconds.

Hey...I'm not an Obama supporter, but he's still the Pres.

As reports unfolded..this guy was trying to "Suicide By Cop" no doubt knew by not following orders of putting down his gun..and continue threatening..he'd get shot....So far he's still alive..BUT don't find any connection to your suggested Democratic association at all..Gun hugger's love to wave their guns ( leagle or illegal) in order to get themselves off'ed...Desperate folks who don't give a SH$t will wish for death and making a statement towards their inability to continue...

WHY is it.. that it's automatically some "D" who is the one who acts in such a manner?? Sometimes I question the rationale of some??? The Gun huggers are "R' folk NO?? Ohh never mind..Reports today pointed out many anti government/disenfranchised happening near the Whitehouse ...SO today..likely only reason it got so much media attention was because ALL media on site were Locked down..as was ALL workers in that Whitehouse parameter...BO wasn't even onsite? LOL

This is more about the gun tooting threatening to Security than about Political statement..more like..a personal unstable ISSUE !!
