Hypothetical question here....

[Aviation Pro]

...suppose the loser, wannabe, poseur who legally carried a firearm to President Obama's event yesterday had dropped his right hand from the poster and decided that now was the time to scratch his small balls. And suppose the poster had dropped to a 45 degree angle and covered and concealed the sidearm in such a way that he was bent over in an attempt to scratch his small balls, but through a scope it could look like he was reaching for his large bore handgun. Do you think the sniper (or snipers), who were on a hair trigger, would have loosed a round (or probably rounds) and turned his head into a bloody, cracked egg leaving just the stump behind?

And would anyone fault the President's security detail for taking such action?

But then again this is all hypothetical and probably would never happen, you fucking cowardly freepfucks.

1. Of course not....If that guy sneezed he was gone.

4. at the very least

he would've been going through life half cocked.

[monmouth]

2. I'm thinking that is exactly what would happen. I wonder if SS had a

"word" with the doofus and told him to be very, very, careful...

3. But since he is a Darwin award winner waiting to happen....

...I don't think that the word "careful" is in his vocabulary. Likewise the word "prudent."

However, he is the definition of "fucking idiot."

7. "Darwin Award Winner waiting to happen"

Love it, love it.

5. It was obvious

that they knew he was there. In the news footage I saw, he had a bewildered look about him, because even then he was realizing that his fifteen minutes of fame wasn't going to happen. He wore the gun because he craved attention and confrontation. He wanted nothing more than to be thrown to the ground, stripped of his weapon, so that he could become the new poster child of the NRA. "SEE! LOOK, THEY'RE TAKING MY GUN AWAY!"

That was his first miserable failure of the day. The second was when he went on Hardball. Early in the interview, he looks down (he's got his notes) and begins what was certain (in his mind) to be a grand statement. Twitchy little Tweety, however, had other things in mind and abruptly cut him off, and then hammered him with yes-or-no questions that quickly painted Mister Tiny Penis McGunsville as a hypocritical stooge.

6. I love your writing style...Haha, perfect!

8. No doubt in my mind, the moment he crossed from theoretical threat

to real threat... they would have acted. Whether by sniper, taking down to the ground, or whatever. But they would have acted. Why do you think they had officers on him at all times, not just snipers.
