Man who ran inside White House had 800 rounds of ammunition and machete in his car

[fan_since79]

At first, he was "unarmed".

 

Then it came out that he had a knife in his pocket.

 

Now his car is an arsenal.

 

Stay tuned for further developments...

The last I recall at the shooting range no one was able to fire off any rounds from a machete.

Obviously you've never been to prison

[Blarg]

I have bought the value pack of ammo before. I wonder if I'm a subversive or not.

 

[fan_since79]

He was arrested by Virginia police on July 19th with a sniper rifle and sawed off shotgun in his car, along with a map of Washington, D.C. with the White House circled.

 

Then on August 25th he was stopped outside the White House fence with a hatchet in his waistband.

 

WHY the hell wasn't he in custody?! Or locked up in a mental hospital?!

 

Now they're going to give him a bail hearing on October 1st. WTH?!?! Yeah, he's no danger, not at all.

The hearing is to revoke his bail from his previous arrest and also to hold him indefinitely in jail for this offense.

I thought he was homeless.

I would think he would have been held after the August 25th incident. That should have made alarm bells ring in the Secret Service.

 

At this point it seems he's just plain crazy and needs to be locked up for a good long time. And take his guns, ammo, and various knives and hatchets away.

you have to appreciate someone who has a lot of determination to succeed.

"When police arrested Gonzalez on Saturday for jumping the White House perimeter fence and running into the White House through the North Portico, federal agents say he was armed with a folding knife with a 3-inch serrated blade."

 

i imagine there might one or two fewer secret service agents after this. 

 

we've heard stories for years that there are agents poised around the perimeter of the fence so that as soon as there is any breach, they're right on the intruder. i wonder if the security protocols have changed. this guy never should have been able to get into the white house. that's a lot of lawn to cover, and someone should have been able to tackle him.

[Blarg]

Somewhere in this is a Washington Redskins reference to being unable to make an open field tackle.

[fan_since79]

I hope they keep the front door locked after this.

So he went from a rifle, to a hatchet, to a knife.  If he waited a few more weeks, he might have downgraded to a rock.

He's Palestinian?

He went to my high school!

He probably finished at Richland.

"Sorry, I was just seeing if I could get in. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get something out of the car. Be back in a minute."

conclusion: he's adam's best friend.

He made it far deeper into the White House than previously reported.

 

He ran past the guard inside the door, down the hallway past the half-flight of stairs leading to the first family's living quarters, then into the East Room. An alarm box near the front door had been muted at the request of the WH usher's office.

 

Some people need to be fired.

add that to the 2011 white house shooting that the secret service didn't even know was a shooting for several days and you have to wonder what the hell is going on.

[fan_since79]

A couple of men with suicide bomb vests could have done some terrible damage to the White House.

 

I hope they've locked the front door at least.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

This is supposedly one of the most secure buildings in the world, yet a guy like this makes it deep inside? Sounds like there needs to be some serious reassessment of security measures there. Some people have gotten far too complacent.

[TobiasFunke]

Growing up you were taught/assume that there are snipers on the roof of the white house with security at damn near every corner. Did this change?

[HaloMagic]

Dude, the fukcing front door is left unlocked? What the ****?
