Two people charged with throwing missiles for throwing paper and a cassette tape at White House

Beyond f-ing pathetic! This Gov't has not only become the laughing stock of the Sane American People, but the entire World!

My favorite memory of the white house -- and I used to work across the street and walk by it every day -- was that one day this guy in a jogging outfit ran by me just as I was in front of the white house gate, where the secret service has a guard booth.

He was carrying a leather satchel over his shoulder -- which was out of character for a guy jogging so he caught my attention.

Anyway, he runs up to the guard station and tells the uniformed Secret Service guy 'I AM THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!'

Then he takes off running down the street again.

He turned the corner and was running down the side street next to the White House and I was waiting to see them take him down. Instead, another agent stepped out of a tunnel entrance, opened the gate -- and let the guy in.

He must have been delivering documents... or pizza... or something.

I would not suggest that any of you try that though. The outcome is unlikely to suit you.

If it was government issued then that's fine, they were just returning the items to the government

If Putin would do this, it would be headlined on CNN

A cassette tape? Who's going to be able to play it?

How can a cassette tape be offensive?

...unless it's got rap music on it...then yeah

LOL - Right.

Maybe it was one of the new Sony ones that hold's like almost infinite information.

Dude was just giving them a heads up on the next round of Wiki Leaks...

(Okay, so it's only 180 terabytes of data - not infinity LOL)

I remember finding that term 'Missiles' when researching my city's laws on using a pellet/bb gun. I found a law said something along the lines of "launching missiles into the street"...I am assuming that means it's an offense to throw rocks/paper wads/etc into the street. It's likely part of Agenda 21...making just about anything they want into a crime.

Yeah, I looked it up.

It's anything thrown or launched with force at a target.

WTF.

I mean, that's still stretching it pretty far considering the distance from the fence to the White House - no one throwing paper or a cassette with their hand 'at the White House' from the fence has a snowball's chance in hell of hitting it.

I mean, could they charge me with throwing a missile at the White House if I chuck something toward the East with angry intent? I have as much chance of hitting the White House with a cassette tape from my porch as that dude did throwing it over the fence.

How dumb.

He didn't like the music on the cassette nor the songs written on the paper

Except if you do it make sure to writre kiss my a$$ on it just to be safe.

FUN-BELIEVABLE!

How can you see below ground surface to a tunnel on another street?

You are the Phantom.

:mask:

They are lucky they weren't gunned down

They know there's no real threat coz all the intelligence agencies work together

It's all part of the pantomime.

This is very true.

They were lucky their 'missiles' weren't 'mistaken' for concealed weapons resulting in their immediate execution.

Sad state of affairs when security guards have the right to invalidate the Constitution by playing judge, jury and executioner at their own whims.

The link is dead. Whatever was in the article, got it pulled off the website.

Well crap, let me see what else I can dig up, it's been a few hours.

If DRONES threw wads of paper or cassette tapes who would be opposed to them. LOL WOW these terrorists are highly advanced.

This one names there names, doesn't mention what they were charged with...

mix tapes are a sign of affection in this country, whats the problem here

Gotta love (not) subjective interpretation/definitions.

Sounds like the same crap that goes on in the schools, for instance:

1) Student jams, thus breaking, a plastic stapler and gets charged with vandalism;

2) Student tells another student to "go to hell" and gets suspended for making a death threat.

true story..

Elementary school student sticks tongue out at classmate, suspended for sexual harassment for 'simulating oral sex.'

Also true.

Kids make guns with fingers, suspended for threatening others with weapon.

Kids shot and killed by cops for 'brandishing' plastic guns with little orange caps on the ends of the barrels.

Yeah, our society is made much safer with all of these asinine laws.
