White House intruder was carrying a knife, court document says

Published September 20, 2014

The White House intruder who jumped a security fence on Friday and got inside the presidential mansion was carrying a knife, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox News and contrary to initial reports that the man was unarmed.

According to the complaint filed in federal court, 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzales, of Copperas Cove, Texas, had a concealed black folding knife when Secret Service agents apprehended him inside the north White House door that faces Pennsylvania Avenue.

After he was arrested, he told a Secret Service agent that "he was concerned the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the President of the United States so he could get the word out to the people," the document says.

My license doesn’t cover me in California, but everyone should carry a knife.

So, he was hoping the Secret Service would kill him? suicide by cop writ large? I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs.

Agree. It'll cost me a $300.00 fine and 90 days in jail and probably a permanent loss of a license to carry firearms. As long as it isn't WROL, I'm not that much of an anarchist.

The guy sounds like your typical LIB. “Atmosphere collapsing” seems a bit eco-nut. He probably already has been made a Clown Prince nobama czar and been given the Medal of Freedom.

“Ooow Scary. Probably had it hid in his pocket. Hence pocket knife.”

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service is considering screening tourists and other visitors at checkpoints before they enter the public areas in front of the White House in response to the episode Friday in which a man with a knife managed to get through the front door of the president’s home after jumping over the fence on Pennsylvania Avenue, according to law enforcement officials.

Good thing it was in his pocket. If he had out and was waving it around they would have shot him 98479837 times.

Great logic they are using. The guy jumps a fence and gets in. The SS decides to frisk tourists who aren’t jumping fences and are usually docile. That is some weird logic.

its the “Gun Violence”....strategy.

stop anyone from owning a “violent” gun...and ya stop the violence.

such presumptions don’t work in either scenario...and are simply means with which to control the population.

She had to be up there early to revise the elementary school lunch menu for the nation.

A daughter of some friends of mine recently told me that they no longer have a snack at their morning recess in school. She said "Mrs. Obama got rid of it." Even the kids know what's happening!

Something is definitely collapsing, Omar. But, it’s not the atmosphere.

Want a secure Whitehouse?
1. Build a 100 foot form around the Whitehouse lawn.
2. Invite all cabinet members and executive office personnel to a Whitehouse meeting with Obama.
3. When the meeting is taking place, fill the entire form with concrete (alternative #2 would be hog crap)
4. Whitehouse will now be secure from breakins and 99.99% of artillery / rocket / missile fire.
