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?"

Sounds like a plan. Why don't you throw tutsis in the mix and make it a threesome?

Didn't know if you would want to ping the dosers to this thread or not. :( Not much sanity going on here.
To: SittinYonder
According to this, there's an Ashwak Saleh from the Class of 1991 at the American University in Beirut. Not sure if this is the same person. At 32, she's the right age. So she graduated university at the age of 17 eh? I think probably not the right one.
To: SittinYonder
she has to be the only wife of a drunken Irishman.
Simply amazing!
SittinYonder criticizes posters on this forum for their ignorance by stereotyping. How does SittinYonder do it?
By ignorantly using an ethnic stereotype.
Can you spell PROJECTION?

Hi Emily. Sounds like this b#tch was thinking about beheading someone. Can't ping the Dose list except under truly extraordinary circumstances, but I'll ping snugs who does the Dose today (I think; been some shuffling of days).

By ignorantly using an ethnic stereotype.
Please explain where I ignorantly used ethnic stereotyping?!
Mormons believe in polygamy and the Irish are drunks. Facts is facts.

Mormons don't believe in polygamy? Irish aren't drunks? What exactly is your point?

You've called me ignorant and now you're making inarticulate statements that mean nothing, but you haven't told me where I'm wrong.

Machetes don't kill people; machete-weilding Muslim whackjobs kill people..

ms13 likes to use machetes too.
