re: #171 Bubblehead II

Doesn’t matter. He breached security of the WH. That is a matter of concern.

Yeah, it actually does matter. It was one dude who didn’t appear to be armed. Yes, he got inside, barely, but the Obamas weren’t there. I get that the location of the arrest is unacceptable from the standpoint of the Secret Service but the end result was that a veteran was captured without a regrettable incident, instead of being shot and killed on the White House lawn, or beset by dogs in full view of the public. They will obviously have to review their policies to make such entry impossible in the future, but the restraint of lethal force was a commendable decision and one I hope they don’t revisit.
