Sounds like someone gets to use an insanity plea.
The suspect in the shooting of an Idaho pastor was arrested Tuesday night after throwing “suspicious objects” over the south fence of the White House,
Thanks Kyle and while Obama really appreciates your gesture the White House Chef probably won’t be using your Young Republican grown potatoes in his recipes anytime soon.
Seems to me that, once again, it’s time for the white community leaders to step up and denounce this violence!
but they were still searching for a motive,
…umm… the voices in his head listened to Der dTrumpeter and did what they were told…
So he drove from Idaho to DC in 2 days. I’m going to guess astronaut diapers were involved.
Nothing says “arrest me” like throwing shit over the White House fence.
I can’t help but wonder: I was married in Coeur d’ Alene, at a venue called, “The White House.” It was an old white mansion. I wonder if maybe the story got confused?
Were there Secret Service agents there?
It’s very good that this menace with a gun is now out of circulation.
Did this guy just toss the murder weapon over the fence to try and plant evidence on Obama? Wth?
According to CNN, he flew to DC:
After the shooting, Odom flew from Boise, Idaho, to Washington, despite a felony warrant, Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said.
“As soon as he was identified … we put a warrant in the system in our national database for attempted first degree murder,” White said.
“As far as the inner workings of the TSA and how someone with a felony warrant could board an airplane, I’m not the person to answer that.”
White said information on the suspect’s travel plans is still preliminary. But his car was found in Boise and secured by law enforcement officials.
but it’s okay, the TSA made sure he took off his shoes first.
I get the feeling this is just another viral attack without any rhyme or reason. Will wait and see.
No. All the regular news org reports make it clear that he immediately left the area of Coeur d’Alene, drove to Boise (where his mv was recovered) and there boarded a commercial flight to Washington D.C. - apparenlty with a number of Congress critters on board. The local police in Coeur d’Alene have claimed that some time betweent the shooting and the flight out of Boise, they secured a warrant for the guy’s arrest on first degree murder and put that warrant on the full national system for law enforcement, which includes the TSA, and so they’ve expressed bewilderment about how he was allowed on the flight. And at the other end, it was the the Secret Service in Washington DC who made the arrest.
There’s some indication the shooter put out a manifesto about some conspiracy connected to Mars that’s aimed at ruining his life.
Mars? Sounds like he needs to look much, much, much closer to home for what’s ruining his life.
But it’s edifying to know that his precious Second Amendment rights weren’t interfered with in any way. I feel so much safer. Thanks, Wayne.
Searching for a motive? Isn’t it obvious? This man was an agent sent by Obama to murder Ted Cruz’s most effective supporters. He was reporting back to his “master” in the White House.
Ted and I have a message for you, “Mr. President”: Oppress us all you want. You can even kill us. But we will stand tall – like angry roosters against your tyranny. Just wake up this morning and look at the results in Idaho. Shiver in you jack-booted, uhm, boots, “Mr. President.” We will take this country back for America!
