It’s an Gyrocopter, not a Helicopter.
Per CNN, A moronic lib ex-postman protesting Citizen’s United.
Probably doesn’t know, (or even care), how much of his own money the unions gave to Democrats.
But, he’ll be a hero to his Daily Kos buddy’s tonight, because he “showed them!”.

I am surprised they did not shoot it down almost as if they knew who it was or to expect it.

Apparently he told a Tampa reporter what he was about to do, she went to DC to see him takeoff, then called the Capital Police to inform them that he was coming.

A small helicopter has landed on the Capitol's West Front... How small? Sized for the creatures that live their lives there?

On his promo video released before the flight he prominently featured a quote from John Kerry.

Did you see the recent Popular Mechanics that featured a new generation of helicopter that is able to overcome the retreating blade stall phenomenon. Very interesting read.

People jumping the fence, walking down the halls of the WH, ascending stairs, flipping off portraits of Reagan, and now THIS...
I thought Obama didn’t want to defend this country with a military, but this is getting scary.
