I did, I also imagine that if the intruder had a weapon, the dogs wouldn't have been needed and he wouldn't be alive today.
It comes down to how much force should be used to stop somebody.
Personally, I'd put several lines of low lying obstacles between the fence and the White House to slow an intruder down. Even something natural like ice plant or a ground cover like Ivy will make it almost impossible to walk or run across and would still make the Kodak moments look natural.
Please tell me your joking! You're idea of protection against intruders into the WHITE HOUSE where the leader of our nation resides would be to booby trap the lawn with obstacles and plants!?
I do not understand why our govt doesn't have a shoot on site policy for situations like this! How many copycats and embarrassments do we need before we take firm action against idiots like this!
If this were to happen somewhere in the middle east or Russia, the guy would be dead and nobody would bat an eyelash.
If someone breaks into my home, I'm going to pump every bit of ammo into them... and then call ServPro... cause that's gonna leave a stain... or two.
By law, you're required to flee the house before resorting to lethal force. The law says if you're in a position to retreat, then do so. If you're being physically attacked, then you have the right to defend yourself.

You might find this poster's suggestion ridiculous , but in fact, certain plants planted strategically, can deter burglary and such. Ice plant has also prevented a couple of houses in CA from burning down.
Some ice plant coupled with certain varieties of yucca make a pretty formidable landscape.
Add in a couple of chow chow dogs ( good luck invading a chow's property) and you have a nice security system that still looks cute in the tourist photos.
37 posts and nobody suggest a taller fence? You can make a very stylish 12 ft. fence. No need for razor wires, machine gun nests, land mines or Punji stakes.

12 feet and apply "slippery" coat of paint could work well.
