Mentally ill, extensive criminal record and a gun in Washington D. C.

Guess those gun control laws are really working.

You know they’ll try to paint him as a right-wing Obama hater. The fact that he camped out at occupy DC is a very inconvenient one, isn’t it? He’s hispanic too. Also inconvenient.

Certain question defy answers:

Can God make a rock so heavy he can’t lift it?

What happens when an irrestible force meets an unmoveable object?

What is average IQ of a room containing Joe Biden, Barak Obama and Chris Matthews?

I think I know where this is going.

How is the wind currently blowing (polls/public opinion), and how can we direct it to our benefit.

Obvious.

Could be, but he still swiped it, if not the kooks at atf would be dragging some honest firearms dealer out in the street and stomping him.

If there was even a 1% chance he had attended a Tea Party rally, all the networks would be breaking into programming to report the news!

So he’s officially crazy yet somehow gets ahold of a rifle or shotgun, which is hard to conceal in the first place, takes it out in DC (!), and then gets off a couple of rounds at the WH?!?!

Yeah, right. Was there for the Rally in 9/09. DC police were constantly patrolling the grounds around the WH, and there were half a dozen agents ON THE ROOF armed with AKs, watching us with binoculars while we were watching them! Yet we’re supposed to believe this idiot got off multiple rounds and then got away?!?!

This story smells to high heaven.

“...alleged to have fired a semi-automatic rifle at the White House ..”

Gotta get that sound bite in...

Libs are peeing in their panties at the sound of the words just about now...

“Mentally ill, extensive criminal record...” could be a registered Democrat.
