The White House's Solution To Deranged Assailants
That a "knife-wielding veteran sniper rushes White House to warn Obama 'atmosphere is collapsing'" should surprise most Americans, but, as The Washington Post reports, that he tried, and where he tried from, should surprise absolutely no one.
There are at least 32 similar incidents that have been reported since the mid-1970s, according to an assessment conducted by the Post. We included a few other interesting incidents in our total tally, but, regardless, that number is almost certainly too low. A report in 1994 indicated that the Secret Service had cataloged 23 people climbing the fence between 1989 and that year; news reports only covered a handful.
We took the incidents that were covered by the media and mapped them according to the point of entry -- and, in some cases, point of capture -- of the perpetrators.
The incidents cover a wide range of culprits and motivations, from homeless people to anti-war protestors to one remarkably drunk guy.
So - in response to all that...
35 breaches of The White House perimeter... "don't worry, we got this!"

So, as long as the next 'deranged assailant' is shorter than 3 feet tall and unable to climb, the President appears safe (especially if he 'resorts' to further vacations away from The 'endangered' White House.)

the sheriff is near!
'scue me while I whip this out!
Oh, you were able to scale our fence, well try this one that is half the size.
They ought to just quit trying to keep up the pretty illusion and install razor wire. The look would be very appropriate for the government that we now have.

Let them in! Let them have amnesty!
deranged assailant
For a second I though you were talking about the POTUS.
They put in a lower fence to prevent them from jumping the higher fence?
Pladizow: Curse your fast fingers;)
Help me! Somebody HelpMe!
...Exact replica of the USSA/Mexican border.
sarc off
yea the fence concept is a metaphor
Maybe they need a moat around the WH...with alligators.
Gators are so 18th century. Why not splurge for the sharks with friggin laser beams?
The golf club was a nice touch.
so the mother who was driving around out front gets gunned down but this guy is allowed to hop over the fence and go right in ??????????
Well, shit happens.
Now, off to the Camps with you for that impertinent historical factual observation.
She was shot in the back of the head, was she not?
With centuries of firearm data no one can really tell if a mammalian skull takes a bullet in the front or rear, JFK being exhibit 1.
Maybe the Secret Service isn't trying so hard to protect the Prez - on purpose like (?).
Yeah, that poor Gal, it was an execution. Don't cops have tazers or pepper spray anymore?
Well yeah...
she was black, this guy is white...

william, the men's 50s magazine covers were the best. I love that genre.
I had a good laugh at the building scaffold, I see that everyday here.
is that a border fence?
Yeah, you wish. There is no border fence.
There actually ladders disguised as bike racks that people can use to breach the fence.
There really shouldn't even need to be a fence.
The new fence is actually 8 inches higher than the old fence which was put in place to deter wandering animals.
This is just evidence of how far society has devolved. We used to have standards, morals, expectations but now we're just a multicultural, feminised, and mostly insane pack of animals that are spied on taxed and droned by our government.
Wait wait wait...Dey using a fence to keep people OUT?
Novel idea...shame this is the same cabal of psychopaths that claim it won't work ON THE BORDER.
The Feds put more effort into keeping Americans away from public monuments than this - if he were around more, I suspect Obama would feel slighted by the lack of initiative shown here. I think I could still hurdle that inner fence, and my runnig days are well behind me.
Why don't they just electrify it? The sacrifice of a few citizens and a bunch of tourists every year shouldn't bother the president too much.
Plenty of money for that fence apparently, and drone strike operations nite and day....everyone else, yer on yer own.
The best insurance for a president to being assessinated is to have an worse alternative as vice president... so feel safe, nobody wants Bieden
Please keep the most deranged assailant of them, Obama, out of the White House before he kills many more.
ADDING TO THE STUPIDITY OF THIS MIDGET FENCE, I PRESENT YOU WITH THEIR FINAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM: LOCKING THE FRONT DOOR. (I shit you not)
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/nbcs-jansing-on-secret-services-white-house-c...
I lock my front door.
Officer Doberman has a response time of zero. Officer Chow lets them in, but they don't get out.
Ha! I laugh in the general direction of your stupid American fence! I'd be over it in, what, certainly less than half an hour.
Come to think of it, if your president is so well protected, us Europeans might actually have a chance of defeating the USA in an armed conflict.
You'd almost think someone in the White House wouldn't mind if something would happen to the POTUS.
The "goon squad" should put up a fence with spikes at the ends of the rods. (medieval style) That way when things go TEOTWAWKI we'll have some place to stick all the banksters and politicians heads.
Whats the point attaking the Shite House?
The goffer, imbicilic cunt is never there?? The wank stain is either playing golf at some random club all over the world badly, or sucking off Reggie Love??
Makes no sense. You may as well attack a wall??
I was going to suggest someone piss on the fucker, but once again, he would love it, so dont bother.
Dog damn brotherish cunt.
;-)
Knife wielding veteran sniper?....
Comes from the same "factory" that created this and this!
If you plan on visiting Washington D.C. to knock on a few doors where your Congressman and Senator(s) dwell that you pay for to ask them about where your money is going -expect those door signs to be permanently removed that use to say "Welcome" to "No Trespassing" -cause you ain't allowed in to meet with them in their "crib" anymore even if you're payin for it!
Remember that this is a war on terror we're fighting and protection is their #1 priority on Cap Hill!!!
Is it startin to sink in real good now?...
"Knife wielding veteran sniper?"
I don't know why. but I keep reading that as Knife wielding vegetarian sniper..
lol
yes, I said lol.
The president doesn't matter. He's just a puppet. the SS probably knows this, so who cares.
Why don't they get amnesty? At least a roll of FR shares...
lol, Any excuse to further remove the 'Dear Leader' from the serfs is welcome... The last time I checked the White House was located at the 19th hole of some distant golf course where Reggie was washing balls and serving cocktails.
You'll have to get past this short dull fence if you want to climb over my tall pointy fence again, you Hooligans! Stay off my lawn!
why hasn't this been mentioned yet?

Omar needs the ammunition to shoot the sky off of himself when the big fall comes.
sorry buddy, but the question went over your head.
you're not reading between the lines.
but, thanks for the humour.
Well, if he was any real sniper, he sure as heck wouldn't go running to his target to warn him "the atmosphere is collapsing" before he uses the 800 rounds. I'd think a sniper would have 1 or 2 shots available to him. I'll be even more creative and suggest that waiting til the prez was in Marine 1 would've been an easier target.
The story doesn't make sense as it's being portrayed, unless it's meant to be a general discrediting of military servicemen in general. But then that makes you wonder about the loyalties of those uniformed men who are around the WH constantly. Is it a signal from the Pentagon (or other PTB) that there are lots of able bodied men ready to get at the Golfer in Chief if he strays from his script? But I can't even think of anything what's his face has strayed from. Lies and betrayal are full speed ahead.
Just don't get no crazy ideas of standing on the short fence to scale the large one or taking a section of the short fence and putting it sideways and using it as a ladder so hundreds could climb over or anything.
"The front door was unlocked."
I'll bet that pisses off terrorists no end. The Prez ain't skeered.
I think they should go retro and build a moat, complete with a drawbridge, chains, the works.
Either that, or ring the place with white house staffers eager to explain (spin) their latest mid-east strategy in 5000 words to anyone who comes near. It won’t stop loonies from trying, but, it might scare them off once they realize the people inside are crazier than they are.
So what? I give anyone credit, nutso or not, who attempts to put his life on the line and attack the government symbols oppression, of which the Big House is one.
If about a million would do it would be hailed as the people taking back the government and willing to risk their lives to do it, an act that we will, unfortunately never live to see.
Good on ya, mate. Too bad you didn't carry out your mission.
You who are opposed to physical attacks do not seem to know that the roots of freedom can only be fed with the blood of people who sacrifice themselves for all.
A line of golf carts would really slow you down.
All this begs the question over why a President deserves so much security in the first place? For quite a long time, Presidents weren't kings here. Perhaps this started to change after Teddy.
How about instead of a short fence outside the fence, they construct a taller fence inside the fence?
So, Drone overhead will zap anyone who jumps the short fence to get to the taller one?
Tear down that wall, Mr. Obama!
Why don't they just put up razor wire and be done with it to keep the fucker where he should be instead of off out playing golf!
....put DHS in charge of it. That'll fix it.
Ha!
This is all a pointless effort people - does everybody remember a few years back when a couple people snuck into the whitehouse during a cocktail party? Gosh... just wait for a party and then dress up nice, enter and leave, but please don't do anything stupid because then Biden becomes our president and then he might get a Peace prize ...
Don't worry about the president - there's better security at the golf course.
WTF, they actually appear to be bound together with cable ties?
Durability at it's finest, and probably only cost 100 million to erect
If you're going over the fence at the wh you're motivated, not crazy. If you fail your mission, you're not adequately prepared.
Find the others.
Here is the scoop on the latest event - Prez getting ready to chopper out with family - all security on deck with high alert. Prez choppers out. Dude hops fence 4 minutes later. Where is security? It's doing what all cops do - going inside for coffee and doughnuts!! (Not Tim Horton's though)!
So fence and guards around white house is good. Fence and guards on the border bad?!?!?
He''s from Chicago, he's used to being jumped! Why do we have to employ thousands of people to protect this asshole anyway?
A shoulder-fired rocket launcher might do the trick.
Who says he is deranged?
