- At military installation gates, this type of idiocy is many times met with deadly force.....why it's not around the WH of all places is beyond my understanding.

Knowing that would happen would be a terrific deterant to this kind of jackassery.

What did he think he was going to accomplish by doing this? Hopefully he will have a long time in the gray bar Hotel to think about his actions.

My only question is “what Teletubby was the driver dressed as during the ‘No Kings’ rally?”

That’s an Acura TSX if I’m not mistaken. I totaled mine last February so it’s not that one😇

They should have shot first and asked questions later. What part of security do they not understand?

They should have shot first? Remember years ago when a lost woman tried to make a u-turn at the White House gate? They killed her. Why aren’t they doing that now?

The woman’s name was Miriam Carey. She was a dental assistant from Connecticut. She had her young daughter in the car. Our government and the media tried to depict her as distraught and crazy.

If I were prez, I’d have standing orders to shoot to kill. Take pictures and tell the public “consequences.”
