Another one

The Chicago Sun-Times has an article by Frank Main and Annie Sweeney about a stalker with a gun outside the Obama house:
The 31-year-old grandson of late Chicago Defender publisher John Sengstacke was arrested today after an officer found a handgun in a vehicle he parked near Barack Obama’s South Side home, police said. Omhari Sengstacke — a convicted felon — is charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and criminal trespassing to state land, police said. Sengstacke did not make any threats against Obama, according to the Secret Service.
Some of Sengstacke's family members said in a statement that Omhari wasn't attempting to harm the Obamas, adding that they reside in the area and are supporters of the candidate.
At about 5 a.m. today, Sengstacke drove up to the security perimeter around Obama’s home in the Kenwood neighborhood. He was told to leave and drove away, but returned, police said. An officer searched his vehicle and recovered the gun as well as a bulletproof vest, a law enforcement source said.
HIs arrest comes a month after three men were nabbed on drug and gun charges during the Democratic convention in Denver. One of the men allegedly told a Secret Service agent that another one of them planned to kill Obama with a high-powered rifle during his acceptance speech. The U.S. attorney in Colorado said the men were drug users who made racist threats but did not have a solid assassination plan or the ability to carry one out.
Rico says this behavior is why it's called felony stupid...
