WASHINGTON — A man draped in an American flag climbed over the fence at the White House on Thursday, prompting a lockdown as the first family celebrated Thanksgiving.What do you think?



The man was immediately apprehended and taken into custody pending criminal charges, the Secret Service said in a statement. The incident took place about 2:45 p.m. EST.What do you think?



An image of a man atop a section of fence in front of the North Lawn was posted on the website of television station WJLA. Another image showed the man standing on the lawn with his arms raised in victory.What do you think?


A witness to the incident, Victoria Pena of Houston, said the man was standing with other people visiting the White House compound when he rushed toward the fence carrying what appeared to be a binder.

I saw this on the news and noticed in the video there is a clover leaf like design in the fence where or near where the guy jumped. Note the media said this as the same area the other guy jumped and since then arrow heads are in place. Big Deal! I called the Secret Service but they are closed!! If someone is so stupid not to remove that clover leaf design then anyone can simply insert one or both feet in it and launch themselves over the fence with ease. And we are safe from ISIS!!??

Seriously. Someone jumps the fence at the White and you wonder if we're safe from ISIS?

Oh man, I don't even have a fence, ISIS is gonna kill me.
 
According to some, if ISIS were to take out the current occupant of the White House then we might actually be safer as a result. ;)

Crazy people. At least this time security noticed him and got him.

This is a democracy. Unless we want to put the First Family in a bunker, people can get onto the grounds. Security's job is to apprehend at that point.
