What do we know so far about the White House fence jumper?

[bluestateguy]

RW wacko? LW wacko? Or just a wacko?

[MineralMan]

1. Well, I'd guess he's not too bright.

Beyond that, I don't know.

Links show someone is getting into or tossing something over the fence at the White House grounds almost daily.

One day this month, a person tossed a bag over the fence and they had to send someone out to get it and inspect it.

Then a toddler squeezed through the fence and security gave her back to her folks.

Earlier this year, the rebel flag gang carried on at the front gate full sight of everyone in the White House and media, made themselves at home.

No drones or tanks were employed. I guess that PoliceState© thing ain't gonna happen, after all.

Media is heartbroken.

This is probably the most open White House in my lifetime, and it is a great concern that Obama will be killed as he continues to go out and about.

CTers said he'd be killed before he got in office, and conservatives have been calling for him to be lynched since the primaries in 2008.

I understand the worries about this guy, as some comments on the social networks say this guy was one of the 'freedom fighters' and testing the security for when they really go to get Obama.

The Hatriots have been demanding that Obama surrender to the People and be tried for treason, etc. Along with all the Democrats. This is such a non-stop meme, it's almost comic.

I don't think any other President dealt with this level of stochastic terrorism, but domestic terrorism has been part of this nation since it was founded. And now the media stokes the flames.

Just a few thoughts.

7. "Hanged".

The white-wing males have enough to be pissed at already.

[freshwest]

8. Okay, to protect their feelings, I edited to 'lynched.' Does that offend some?

It sure as hell offends me...

Just sayin'

[OilemFirchen]

9. No, no. Not offensive.

Proper English is all. I'm sure many would like to see Obama hanged but would be distressed to know that he was hung.

[freshwest]

10. My dictionary says 'hanged' or 'hung' is proper usage - in fact 'hung' is higher on the list.

In the South, the more common usage is 'hung.' The 'born to be hanged' is from a different culture. And if people are going to be offended by grammar, they might want to think about what they are dismissing as if it wasn't worse than words.

[OilemFirchen]

13. Lighten up.

This was not meant to be a grammar lesson; rather, a joke... which you, apparently, did not get.

I don't understand your second sentence. Are you accusing me of something?

[freshwest]

14. No, NOT directed at you at all. But those YOU thought might BE offended, ONLY. Not YOU!

I don't need this grief. I don't come here to fight with posters. Peace Out.

6. We know that there was another security breach today

11. Here's more about today's security breach & yesterday's fence-jumper...

Second man arrested trying to enter White House Saturday September 20 2014

http://www.theguardian.com/world/feedarticle/11550848

The second incident started Saturday afternoon when a man approached one of the White House gates on foot, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said. He later showed up at another gate in a car and pulled into the vehicle screening area. When the man refused to leave, he was placed under arrest and charged with unlawful entry. Officials have not released his identity.

Bomb technicians, fully suited, could be seen looking through a white four-door sedan with New Jersey plates and pulling out what appeared to be keys. Streets near the White House were temporarily closed as officers responded, but the White House was not locked down.

It wasn't immediately clear who the man was or why he was trying to enter the White House. President Barack Obama, his wife and daughters were at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland where the first family was spending the weekend.

There were no signs that Saturday's arrest was related to the security breach the night before. But the pair of incidents in short succession heightened concerns about security at the White House, one of the most heavily protected buildings in the world.

12. There's more info about the guy in this article...

On a quiet cul-de-sac about an hour's drive from Waco, Texas, where Gonzalez was last known to have lived, former neighbors said he moved out roughly two years ago, explaining only that he had to get out of Copperas Cove, which sits next to the Fort Hood Army post.

Sgt. 1st Class David Haslach, who lives two doors down from Gonzalez's former home, said Gonzalez had been in the U.S. military and told Haslach he had received a medical discharge. He and another former neighbor, Elke Warner, both recalled him seeming paranoid in the months before he left town.

"At the end, he got so weird. He had motion detector lights put in," Warner said. She added that she last saw Gonzalez about a year and a half ago at a nearby camp site, where he was apparently living with his two dogs.
