I just hope that heads are rolling in the Treasury Department after this incident. The Secret Service should be ashamed. With all of the high tech gadgets and protective techniques they have, there is no way that man should've been able to hot the White House with a bullet. the snipers on the roof should've had him in their rifle sights and blown his hand off before he ever even took a shot.
You do not aim for hands, you aim for chest. Bigger target, bigger likelihood of killing or incapacitating someone... because he could still use his other hand, even if it would work.

that's not accuracy, that is dumb luck

I'd bet he shot more than twice; wouldn't it be funny if he dumped a whole mag on the place and they still didn't notice until someone found the cracks in the window?
that's probably what he did

If I had a scope that powerful, I'd be a peeping Tom, too
Apparently since it's now known he was with the OWS camp in Washington DC, and is obviously not a Conservative, they're coming up with the mental illness excuse for him. His mother says he's not mentally ill.
......OWC conection.............we will never really know about his mental state..........was he brain washed or just naturally crazy

I still want to know how he dropped two AK rounds on a windowsill from 700 yards out!!
He stopped his car on Constitution Ave. and sprayed out 9 rounds from out the driver's window. 2 hit the White House, and the other 7 hit the sky. There were 2 drivers behind him who witnessed it all.

Conservative? What do you mean.that is a useless tag. Who has he spent time with? He said he is a modern day Jesus. That in itself doesn't make him, religious, or an Athiest. MENTALLY ILL? The pathology of an individual can be studied, if mom thinks he has a cold she would take him to the clinic. If she thinks he is overly obsessed with sex? for example , mothers typicaly rationalize male child behavior. That the way it happen a lot. I don't pretend to know his mental tag the he may recieve after a team of profesionals study him, in the manner in which they have all decided will serve their motives and advance their agendas. Susfice it to say , he is pathologically suspect but, as to the origin it might be our national social pathology. All we know is a warrant for arest was issued, and someone stashed an AK 47 in an abondon car
And the first place the secret service searched was the tents at the OWS camp in DC. What do they know though.
