Bullets strike White House

| November 16, 2011

From the Huffington Post is the report that the Secret Service found two bullets outside of the White House, one which had been stopped by “ballistic glass”;

The discovery follows reports of gunfire near the White House on Friday. Witnesses heard shots and saw two speeding vehicles in the area. An assault rifle was also recovered.

President Barack Obama, who was headed to a summit in Hawaii, was not at the home at the time of the shooting.

Yeah, it’s a pretty good bet that anyone shooting at the White House isn’t going to hit the President since he’s so rarely there.

So is the Department of Homeland Security dusting off it’s report that veterans are the most dangerous people in America? Nope;

U.S. Park Police have an arrest warrant for Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, who is believed to be connected to the earlier incident. He is described as a 21-year-old Hispanic man, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 pounds, with a medium build, brown eyes and black hair.

5’11” – he must be easy to spot among the rest of the polarized Hispanic crowds. I’m sure that Mark Potok and the Southern Poverty Law Center are disappointed that they can’t point their bony fingers at a veteran.

They’ll find some way to blame a vet. As for this criminal, I wonder what his legal status is and whether he had reached the southern border yet?

Hmm, I wonder why the Huffington Post declines to mention that Park Police said he had been at Occupy DC protests?

Of course, ABC decided to describe it as “blending in” because we know that people who do bad things are by default not associated with any Occupy protest anywhere ever.

Only bullets? That is weak. President Clinton had a crazy guy crash a single engine plane into the White House back in 1994.

No doubt Mr. Potok will find someway to link him to the SPLC’s Bogeymen-of-the-Week.

He’ll be a registered Republican, or he once rode in an elevator with a guy from Montana whose third cousin once read a book by a woman who claims her maternal grandfather was Herman Goering’s barber’s neighbor.

Potok’s never needed hard facts to keep the donors sending the SPLC more than $89,400 tax-free donor dollars a day, every day. They’ve got more than $216 million in cash on hand now.

Remember when Swami Potok attempted to divine “right-wing” connections from Jared Loughner’s high school reading list that Potok found on Youtube? Turns out that Loughner was just a lunatic.

Basically, Potok serves up plates of steaming tripe and the media and the donors swallow it down without ever asking what’s in it.

Hmmm, how did Oscar manage to drive two cars away from the scene?
“Yeah, it’s a pretty good bet that anyone shooting at the White House isn’t going to hit the President since he’s so rarely there”. Glad I’d finished my coffee before I got to this story.
And, I’d really like to see the timeline for this, shots were fired on Friday, when, exactly, did they find the bullets?

Joe

Yeah, I’m sure he’s real disappointed…

So the questions are: dude shot at a building and hit it. Twice.

1. Out of how many total rounds fired?

2. Will he be returned to the Air Force for remedial marksmanship training? Or just demoted 1 level in Halo?

Joey, your sister called from the Jackson County Jail, in West, by god, Virginia, she wants bail money.
