He was jaywalking. He was unarmed.

You Don’t Get Shot Jumping Over the White House Fence and Charging into the White House

Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, jumped the White House fence, armed with a knife, ran across the lawn, entered the White House ran through the entry hall, past the stairs, into the East Room and was finally stopped there.

Why is Michael Brown Dead and Omar Gonzalez Alive?

The Secret Service now says that Gonzalez is a troubled Iraq War veteran who should be in a mental hospital. That’s an excuse to me. They didn’t know who he was when he penetrated the White House security.

I usually don’t advocate shooting, but I must say, I’d have no problem if the Secret Service shot whoever jumps the White House fence.

We seem to have some things backwards in law enforcement in our country.
