Eyewitness News' political reporter Dave Evans says the first sign of something going on came when security around the president's visit got even tighter than usual.
He says authorities are looking for a 55-year-old man named Lawrence J. Ward in connection with the reported attempt on the president's life.
Ward is said to be driving a blue Toyota sedan with a New York license plate: BRF-6596.
Seventh Avenue is blocked off because of the incident.
We'll have the latest here as it's available and on Eyewitness News tonight.
BRF 6596? That's potentially enough plates for almost 5 billion cars; where will N.Y. get all that oil?
You know that for sure? Wonder if the SS does also, but probably they do.
No, not really. But would is be surprising if "JFK'S LAST BEST HOPE" was a DU whack weened on the hatred of DU message boards?
Where did you get the info about this guy and DU?
Ah, better link. Now, what the heck is it?
Your point?
You can add the media to that list. Unlike the Clinton haters who were continually marginalized as kooks and part of the vast right wing conspiracy, the media has practically legitimized these grievances.
When you have filmakers, authors, academia, celebrities and journalist (hi Dan) all partaking in this vitriolic hatred...all given wide exposure, it is only a matter of time before someone thinks they are doing right thing.
Something's definitely going on. I'm at 53rd and 7th, and we got an e-mail around 5PM that the 53rd St. entrance to our building (there's also a 54th St. entrance) is closed until 7:30 -- no reason given.
Looking for public information is not an invasion of privacy.
Ward *was* driving a blue Toyota sedan...
Really!
Somebody with "nothing to lose" is always VERY scary.
This must be the guy that Drudge was refering to.
One hair harmed on our President's head, or those in close circulation to him, and he'll wish he lived in a more tolerant country- Like Iran.
That could be construed as libel, you know.
On the other hand, all the media lurkers are now searching posts frantically over at DU, so this site may speed up a bit.
Dangit, I can't stand liberal whack jobs. They need to find this fruit now.
ping
"....it might be the wrong guy."
Good decision. Could you imagine if you had the same name as this wacko? lol
Hope they catch him soon. One would think these lone rangers would be easier to get than a foreign plot or group plot...
Wars have been started for far less...especially uncivil ones.
Funny cause DU is real slow right now for me!
