Fox News just broke with a "snippet" that a woman (who is in custody) tried to ingite a small explosive, according to Uniformed Secret Service and either place it or throw it at the White House. She was taken into custody.
No connection. The guy was suicidal.
For later.
How odd.
Maybe it was a Throwin' Samoan Woaman.

Sometimes people throw magic medals over the fence. They're like boomerangs and come back an hit you in the face. What silly dope would do that??
I saw it.
People exercising their American right to be wrong in groups.
What else was I supposed to see?
Yah, I bet most people don't know about a plane crashing into White House on Sept 11...
1994.
I got money that it was it was a firecracker. I already know how our wonderful leos treat such dangerous criminals.
I wonder what her DU name is?
Is there a difference?
Peace activist, no doubt.
Machete-wielding woman outside White House

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A 32-year-old woman wielding a machete was arrested Sunday outside the White House, the Secret Service said.
Spokeswoman Kim Bruce said Ashwak Saleh was taken into custody and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after she displayed a 13-inch machete on the sidewalk outside the White House.
Saleh was arrested at 2:20 p.m. and taken to Washington Metro Police Department 3rd district for processing.
Witnesses said Saleh was sitting on the sidewalk when she pulled the machete out of a leather sleeve and began sharpening it on the edge of the sidewalk.
The witnesses said passersby then alerted Secret Service officers, one of whom approached the woman and told her to "Drop the blade."
To that, Saleh said, "What are you going to do -- shoot me?"
The witnesses said the officer repeated his command, then took Saleh into custody when she wouldn't comply.
"Was it a "peaceful" liberal, or home-grown muslim convert or just a nut?"
Aren't all they all the same?
So it is a Muslim woman then?
Ashwak Saleh
That's what I thought - it sounds Muslim.
A rabid member of the Amish Liberation Front or Peoples Mennonite Republican Militia no doubt
"A 32-year-old woman wielding a machete"
Machete = Machetero, the now believed to be dormant or dead Puerto Rican terrorist group?
So you're ok with people supporting groups who want us and Israelis dead. OK. You're ok with one of them exercising their American right to throw an explosive at the WH. OK.
I now have a better understanding of you.
