White House for the day


Jon Passantino has a Buzzfeed article about yet another intruder:
The White House was briefly placed on lockdown after a man scaled a perimeter fence and was captured by agents on the North Lawn while President Obama sat just yards away inside the residence.
The Secret Service said 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya, of Bel Air, Maryland, was taken into custody after being stopped by guard dogs and agents on the White House lawn around seven pm. Video from the scene appeared to show the man kicking and punching a dog during the confrontation. The day before he was arrested for scaling the White House fence, he posted this image of himself on Instagram:
 
Adesanya, who was unarmed, was later transported to a hospital with dog bite injuries. Charges against him include felony assault; making threats, also a felony; and unlawful entry, a misdemeanor, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said.
The two Secret Service dogs involved in the incident were taken to a veterinarian for their injuries. Video showed Adesanya kicking and punching a Secret Service dog on the White House lawn before being taken into custody.
The cause of the incident was not immediately known, and comes in the wake of an incident last month where 42-year-old Omar Gonzalez scaled the fence and made it inside the White House before being apprehended. The security breach ultimately resulted in the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pearson.
Rico says the next guy should get shot for kicking the poor dogs...
