It seems he fired from his vehicle after getting in range of the WH. It’s fortunate some other person outside wasn’t hit.

“or his staff” - was everyone gone from the building at the same time? He should be charged - he fired randomly at the White House - did he have to kill someone to be guilty?

I have a hard time understanding assination of an individual if they were not there. I could see attempted murder if there was someone in the building (very likely) but assasination requires a specific target.

If he had pulled a stunt like the guy in the Dirty Harry movie proclaiming to kill a N-Word or a priest every day untill the O won resigned, how would Americans have responded to that!

“..They already stated he was mentally messed up.
Yeah, I think anyone doing that would have to a few bricks short of a load...”

He’s a libidiot leftard. By definition of that alone that makes him retarded - i.e., a totally replaceable, completely interchangeable Cyberdyne Systems Standard Model 100(M)(F) or (I) Liberal.

You could stack him up next to Jared Loughner, or the little Korean douchebag that shot up VirgTech a few years and not tell the difference.

They ALL look alike to me...

No assassination intended. You need a real, living target in “sight”. Int the same country would be nice, too.

This charge is so wrong. He wasn’t even there.

I’m sure they could have thrown the book at him for any one of 10,000 other charges.

They already stated he was mentally messed up. I know BHO is disliked, but who declared him "mentally messed up"?

How did he get so close.

800 yards in this situation is not that close.
