Insanity Calls
November 30th, 2007Talk about a bombshell!
I open my laptop to check the news and find this.
A mentally unstable man wearing what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his chest was arrested hours after he walked into a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign office Friday, took hostages and demanded to speak to the candidate in a standoff that dragged into the night, authorities said.
Clinton was in the Washington area at the time, but the confrontation brought her campaign to a standstill just five weeks before the New Hampshire primary, one of the first tests of the presidential campaign season. She canceled all appearances, as did her husband, and the security around her was increased as a precaution.
In an early evening news conference, Capt. Paul Callaghan repeatedly refused to say how many hostages had been taken.
The man entered the simple storefront office along the town’s main street around 1 p.m., ordered people onto the floor and then let a mother and her baby leave, said State Police Maj. Michael Hambrook.
Good thing it ended alright. Now you’ve got to worry about safety on the O’Reilly Factor tonight ’cause when we have Alf debating Bill O’Reilly, you know someone’s head is going to roll and it might well be the audience’s!
