Quote:'Donald Trump has thanked the US Secret Service after the White House was put on lockdownSOURCE:
when a vehicle struck a security barrier.
A 35-year-old woman drove into the barrier on the southwest corner of the compound just before
3pm local time and was immediately detained by agents.The US President was in the building at
the time as he was hosting Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Friday.
A white Chevrolet with a smashed window was pictured near a security barrier, while US TV
showed an officer checking the underneath of the vehicle with a mirror.
It was reported a woman had been pulled out of the vehicle's window at gunpoint.
A Secret Service spokeswoman said in a statement: "Today, a 35-year-old white female from
LaVergne, Tennessee, intentionally drove a white van into a security barrier near the White House.
"The female was immediately apprehended by Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers.
No law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident and no shots were fired.
"The Secret Service has had previous encounters with the female in the vicinity of the White House
resulting in numerous arrests for a variety of criminal violations.
"The female was again charged today with numerous criminal violations and transported to the
Metropolitan Police Department. The White House complex has returned to normal operations."
Eyewitness Chris Bello said: "This minivan came and crashed into the barricade and tried to push
through the barricade and his tyres were burning rubber and a lot of smoke was coming up.
"And then about 30 seconds after that the two security guards that were in the booth, you know,
ordered him to stop doing what he was doing and he didn't listen."
Posting on Twitter later, Mr Trump wrote: "Thank you to the great men and women of the United
States @SecretService for a job well done!"
Nearby traffic was affected in Washington DC after surrounding streets were cordoned off.
Eamon Havers, a Washington correspondent for CNBC, had posted on Twitter: "White House
has locked the press office doors, which are typically open all day...
"A few moments ago, I saw three uniformed Secret Service officers running toward the residence."
Noah Bierman, a White House reporter for the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, said the
press room had since been opened. Mr Turnbull remained at the White House while investigations
took place...'
NBC reports:
Quote:'...Law enforcement officials told NBC News that the woman had mental problems and was knownSOURCE:
to the Secret Service because she's been around the White House before...'
'...The agency said that she drove into the security barrier outside the White House intentionally,
but the van never breached the perimeter.
"The Secret Service has had previous encounters with the female in the vicinity of the White House resulting
in numerous arrests for a variety of criminal violations," the statement said.
"The female was again charged today with numerous criminal violations and transported to the Metropolitan
Police Department. The White House complex has returned to normal operations.”
Police said they saw a gun in the woman’s hands which was pointed in the opposite direction of officers
during the incident, and she allegedly refused to drop the gun and had it taken from her, according to police
documents.
The woman allegedly said she had a "BB gun" because if "James Burris" was president officers would shoot
her to protect him, according to the documents.
She was charged with carrying a pistol without a license,possession of an unregistered firearm or destructive
device, assault on a police officer, destroying government property and other charges, according to the police
documents...'
It's what they do in movies, but the reality of being arrested, imprisoned, losing one's job and car
insurance-denials, are not portrayed in the fictional world.
The same world these idiots live in.
(By the way, who the hell is James Burris...?! Karen Carpenter's husband?)
There was no exciting music, Trump didn't appear in his red cape and smouldering horns and the
Security detail didn't look on in confused horror at the presumed heroics.
She was just dragged out of the window and detained. Her braying voice of CNN's brainwashed
ratings-forced hatred will mean nothing in the white room where she'll demand bottled-water.
She'll scream of being oppressed -whilst not realising that owning a white Chevrolet and living in
the most opulent country this side of Mars is not the usual outcome of oppression.
Meanwhile, a company gets to sell another security barrier. Hurrah for capitalism!
