I don’t get the problem. Guns don’t kill people unless the person with the gun uses the gun. Did the man threaten the Prez? Did he draw the weapon? Did he in any way threaten the life of the Prez? To presume anyone carrying a weapon is a threat is irrational and contrary to our founding principles. Perhaps the man was carrying a weapon to protect himself from the prez, or from the human debris that exists in DC. I have no doubt that if he tried to draw his weapon upon Barry the Secret Service would have acted in a timely manner to protect Mr. Sotero and neutralize the clear and present danger. But simply having a weapon is not a threat nor a clear and present danger, it is a right the prez swore to protect not to destroy.
there may be a problem in that we don’t know who the guy was....and yet...hes been reported as having been on the elevator with Obie..not the easiest place for john q. public to gain access to.....and no one knew he had a weapon.
its the strange sum total of the story that has raised my antennae.
do the president and secret service not have whole highways blocked off for his motorcades...allegedly for safety? YET here they are in a seemingly public elevator with a “stranger” who just happens to be armed.
they MAY be trying to Create a crisis to keep OBIE and the public completely seperated
