Drag her into the White House kitchen, set her up with a rack of cucumbers and tomatoes. Problem solved and everybody wins.

I never realized that machetes were prohibited weapons.

If you find her sweater, Jason won't attack you.

She chose poorly.

Maybe she just wanted to cut defense spending?

tsk tsk Thats not how you kill a president. Dumbass tag required

Obviously not the brightest bulb; Bush is still in Texas, as far as I know....

Unavailable for comment.

Glad I missed that. I was in front of the White House with my wife and children around 11AM this morning. Only thing I saw were a lot of annoying tourists (including me).

/not at the airpor, but a hotel with hi-speed internet

Uh, blades are legal. At least, here in my state they are.

Lord of Allusions,

If you find her sweater, Jason won't attack you.

Dude, do you have any idea how long it takes to make it around that stupid lake?

orrinbloquy:

Hahaha, I love that picture.

This is NOT the Phillipines.

did i read that right, a 13-inch machete? not much of a machete

To that, Saleh said, "What are you going to do -- shoot me?"

The witnesses said the officer repeated his command, then took Saleh into custody when she wouldn't comply.


Did anybody else get the impression they just Yada-yada'd over the best part?

pull out a machete?...yeah, that'll help whatever cause your trying to draw attention to... nitwit

I'm pretty sure they have a quota somewhere in the Secret Service office. This was just fate filling her requirement for machete wielding psycho.

A 13-inch machete? I'm with albo. Kind of pathetic.

"What are you going to do...shoot me?"

What the officer should have said....Why yes, if you don't drop that blade, I'll go Indiana Jones on you.

Has anybody got another source?

Even women hate Bush. Wow, no surprises there.

That's not a knife, that's a spoon!

Who cares? It'd be much cooler if she took down the Secret Service agents with her awesome ninja skills...

If you're gonna make threats, MAKE GOOD ON THEM! Jeez.

/it sells news

The witnesses said passersby then alerted Secret Service officers, one of whom approached the woman and told her to "Drop the blade."

To that, Saleh said, "What are you going to do -- shoot me?"

Um... yes. Yes, they will.

Baron von Gavin: Who cares? It'd be much cooler if she took down the Secret Service agents with her awesome ninja skills...


Does anyone know where Miss Japan is atm?

faethe This was just fate filling her requirement for machete wielding psycho.

that is hilarious.

Bush Derangement Syndrome.

*sob*

It never gets any easier to see.

*sob*

Unfarkwithable

Did anybody else get the impression they just Yada-yada'd over the best part?

I was thinking the same thing, came in to post it, in fact.

castufari,

If you're gonna make threats, MAKE GOOD ON THEM! Jeez.

To be fair, she didn't threaten anyone.

If she didn't even do enough wrong to be charged with brandishing or assault, then I'd say she should be let go with a warning.

I also do not believe knives should be illegal to carry.

No casualties? Boring.

/aisle seat.

Is not impressed

Whoops. Sorry AgentPothead

SchlingFo there are offenses worthy of brushing off with warnings...and there is sharpening your machete on the sidewalk outside of the white house...

"That's nuot a knyfe, this is a knyfe!"

I didn't know they grew coconut trees near the white house

/did I miss something?

Teucer,

SchlingFo there are offenses worthy of brushing off with warnings...and there is sharpening your machete on the sidewalk outside of the white house...

She's a nutjob, yeah. There are lots of nutjobs in this world.

Houston has a guy who pulls around a big-ass shopping cart while violently screaming and cussing at persons unknown.

I steer clear of him, but I don't think he should be arrested.

She didn't threaten anyone, which is reflected in the charges against her.

I don't feel that it should be illegal to carry a knife.

If a person's not threatening anyone, but is just creeping people out or being a nuisance, give them a warning and send them on their way.

I would have shot her. Twice. In the head. Then it would be real news. And another moron would be dead.

It's moran, moran. And how would you have been dead from the scenario you just gave?

Was she hot?

How long until the Dubya-ment outlaws machetes? Or requires machete owners to register their "weapons".

If a person's not threatening anyone, but is just creeping people out or being a nuisance, give them a warning and send them on their way.

agree, but there are places where you still shouldn't take any chances and security must be paramount to the point of being paranoid. such as around the white house.

Oh no.. a weapon of mass destruction!

Jason trifecta is in effect!

much better

Whats wrong with sharpening a machete on the sidewalk outside the whitehouse? I know I feel safer carrying a machete on the mall since the park police budget got hacked.

sharpening your machete on the sidewalk can be seen as threatening, Schling. similar to a person who hasa legal carry permit who decides to check and prepare their gun in the same location. Often body language says much more than words. Think even of the threats an unarmed man can give if he chooses, merely with the tone of his voice and physical behavior.

It is illegal to even possess any weapons in DC, such as any swords or knives (ove 4") or stun-guns. Not even fake ones, and ESPECIALLY not within 100 yards of any Federal building of any sort. Yes, this also means props and toys. Unless you belong to one of the many, many L.E.O's or are in the military.

As someone with a wall full of steel I looked into it.
