Gasoline all over him...dressed all in black. Fully engulfed. Secret Service ran out and tried to roll him around to put out the fire. Can't remember on which side of the WH it happened. That's all I know.
I think they said North wing.
"Secret Service ran out and tried to toll him around to put out the fire."
Should have used Barney....he could have easily lifted his leg and showered this guy until the flames were gone.
Well, I guess the SS knows what it's doing, having to protect our President, and all. But what if the guy had a bomb strapped on, perhaps with a timer mechanism, and then BOOM.
First thing that flashed through my mind, and then a revision: What if this is a "test run" to check security at the WH; reaction time, protocol and procedures, etc? What if the next time the guy has a bomb on him, with a timer as above, and BOOM. Then, while the confusion is going on, a group of ragheads rushes into the WH with weapons and C2?
While on the one hand I enjoy the mental picture of the SS throwing bacon fat on this guy, to make the fire burn with more "meaning" (Oooops, we got it from the WH kitchen -- thought it was a bucket of water -- he, heh, hehehe), I'm sure they are taking this very seriously and reassessing their reactions to this, and enhancing their security.
I hope none got hurt.
I also hope he had insurance and didn't drive up the cost for the rest of us.
