On Friday, a Texas man was arrested outside the White House grounds for having a weapon and ammunition. The man told officers he “needed information about the Oval Office”, according to court documents.

Court documents show Macias Santiago, a 37-year-old man from Midland, Texas, parked in front of a parking meter on Constitution Ave in a pickup truck when he asked an officer if he could park there. That’s when court documents show he also stated he needed details about the Oval Office.

According to court documents, that’s when the officer noticed a firearm holster in the truck and asked Santiago if he had a weapon, to which he told the officer yes.

Officers recovered a full functional .40 caliber pistol, two fully loaded 8 round magazines, and an opened box of 79 rounds of ammunition, according to court documents. Santiago was arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful possession of a firearm, unregistered ammunition, and unlawful transport of a firearm.

Looks like we still have a lot of brainwashed crazies to lock up and face consequences for falling into the far right sinkhole. Another wasted American life and future and a family that will suffer as well. Murdoch and Limbaugh must be real proud of their faithful boyz.

1. I hope one of those is a felony

No more guns for you

[RockRaven]

2. We'd be in a much worse situation if so many of these criminals weren't so fucking stupid...

Can you imagine if all of these lunatics were savvy and didn't openly expose themselves to.law enforcement?

[Irish_Dem]

4. It is the police, military, national guard flying monkeys I worry about.

[dutch777]

6. Worries me too...I knew all too many whack jobs when I was in the Army

And we are lucky they are mostly too dumb to be really sneaky and capable. Maybe the Secret Service should set up a special drive thru lane near the WH for info seekers. See how many more they can arrest when they come armed and signal malintent. Rats go in but they don't come out.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Ha that is funny, bet it would work for sure.

Throw out a trap for the not too smart rats.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. You're giving me visions.

Neon sign and drive-through menu board and charge them a dollar for each item (the Oval Office is oval, the White House is white, etc.).

Then, search them and lock 'em up.......

[Irish_Dem]

19. Fast Food Lock up.

[Turin_C3PO]

18. Most military and guard

are loyal Americans, not seditionists. There are extremists of course, because the military reflects society but I’ve seen nothing to suggest that the military is somehow more sympathetic to the traitors.

[PSPS]

27. When w bush invaded iraq, the military pretty much stopped caring who enlisted.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. Yep, he stopped and asked a cop for details on the Oval Office.

He's going to have a tough life in jail. The resident thugs will play him like a cheap fiddle.

KY.......

[Renew Deal]

12. To be fair, he asked for the right location.

[reACTIONary]

15. +10 nt

[mobeau69]

3. Everything he touches dies.

American carnage curtesy Orange Nixon.

[SheltieLover]

5. Keep him locked up, pending trial!

[Evolve Dammit]

10. The fruition of 30 plus years of daily brainwashing. Worked like a charm. Right Rushbo? n/t

[MineralMan]

11. Not a bright fellow, is he?

[groundloop]

13. Nope, obviously he's not all there.

SO.... that brings us around to the fact that someone who undoubtedly has mental issues is in possession of firearms.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. This was disappointing to find.....

I went searching for additional info on this guy and he's not in deep red Midland's news sources. But, I did find this at a Washington, D.C. source....

Santiago was issued a stay-away order but "further detention" was denied due to COVID. His next court date is scheduled for June 25, according to court records.

Just can't believe they had to let this guy go free. The jails in DC must be overflowing.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. So stupid

he didn't know that all the windows in the white house are bulletproof glass????????

A long time ago, one of my friends was an active Marine and the Marine Corps guarded the outside perimeter of the White House.

I don't know if it is still true, but he said his Standing Orders were, that anyone approaching the White House, like running across the lawn towards the White House was to be fired on and dropped in their tracks.

Not sure if that is still true, but sounds great to me...........

I really worry for Biden, Harris, the Senators and House Members, etc If a dis-organized bunch of clowns can come within minutes of a Capitol whole sale slaughter, The Secret Service has their hands full this time around..............

[DENVERPOPS]

29. Right on MM

Do you remember during Clinton's years, a guy in a private plane crashed it into the base of the White House???????

[electric_blue68]

30. Yeah..

I half freaked out hearing that...

.and that was the beginning of eventually tightening up traffic by the front of the WH.

When I first toured the WH early in Clinton's term for Xmas the next day I took a bus from Georgetown to a museum not on The Mall and it sailed right on by the front side of the W.
Then a few years later they had closed the street off with barriers to cars.

[marble falls]

14. Oh, to be young and stupid and from Texas.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Oilfield trash probably n/t

[griloco]

16. Another TrumpVictim

[marie999]

21. What manufacturer? My S&W DA .40 caliber has 15 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. S&W, according to this article....

From: https://wjla.com/news/local/man-carrying-gun-arrested-near-the-white-house

(snip)

Santiago was detained and additional officers arrived on the scene and asked him where the gun is. He told officers the gun was located in between the driver's side seat between the center console. Officers recovered a Smith and Wesson .40 Calibur gun.

and from the posted article....

Officers recovered a full functional .40 caliber pistol, two fully loaded 8 round magazines, and an opened box of 79 rounds of ammunition, according to court documents.

Santiago was arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful possession of a firearm, unregistered ammunition, and unlawful transport of a firearm.

I would guess that packin' would be typical for men from Midland, Texas. That IS their manhood.

Anyone that stupid shouldn't be allowed to carry a cap pistol.

KY.....

[marie999]

24. I'm an old woman in North Carolina and I don't leave my house without my pistol

and a second magazine.

[Bluethroughu]

22. The little people need accountability too...FBI knock on all doors

Insurrectionists need to all face prison time.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. It's just for target-shooting.

Not for watering the tree of liberty at all.

[panfluteman]

26. Hold Onto Your Hats! We Could Have At Least One of These Whack Job Cases Per Week!

[James48]

31. This is how stupid they are.

They all think DC is just like Texas.

They drive around with a loaded weapon inside their truck. You know, all “Second Amendmentee” like. They think it’s just natural to walk around, or drive around, with a loaded weapon in public.

News flash for you, stranger. This here big city ain’t like the Wild West. Our citizens who follow the Second Amendment here ARE WELL REGULATED, and wear the uniform of our nation as a part of the Army National Guard.

If you want to carry inside DC, then either be a sworn police officer, or join the National Guard, and obey the orders of the officers over you.

Peace, out.

(I’m retired Army Guard, I played with my machine guns only as part of my well-regulated duty, and it pisses me off to see low IQ types think they are Jim Bowie or Davy Crockett here to defend the Alamo.).

[KY_EnviroGuy]

32. Yes, and in cities like D.C., if there any sign of a weapon in a vehicle with no one in it....

you are likely to return to find a busted window and no gun. I've seen it happen often in towns much less violent than Washington.

If I was big into guns, I would not have a NRA or hunting club sticker on my vehicle. That's the kind of evidence thieves look for.....gun racks, holsters, stickers, shell casings, etc. so they know there's probably a gun hidden somewhere.
