BOSTON -- An armed man took people hostage Friday at a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office in New Hampshire, police said.

The incident happened at about 1 p.m. Friday at 28 North Main St. in Rochester. Officials said that a man is holding people hostage at the office, but it is unclear how many people are being held.

There are several police officers positioned across the street from the office, crouched down behind cruisers with guns drawn, according to a reported at the scene.

Nearby businesses have been evacuated, and the St. Elizabeth Seaton School has been locked down.

Clinton, who is not in New Hampshire, is attending a National Democratic Committee meeting in Virginia.

NewsCenter 5 and TheBostonChannel.com will have more information when it becomes available.

Oh, YAY.

she probably arranged it to drum up sympathy for her failing presidential candidacy.

Hum...

An "armed" individual takes hostages...

Secret effort by Hillary to push her gun control agenda?

Nah...

We all know that politicials NEVER orchestrate *COUGH Reichstag fire COUGH* incidents to bolster their agendas...

A buddy of mine said that it would never happen in a Republican Campaign Office-

Everyone in there is armed, and the chap you look like Swiss Cheese by now.

Reports are now that the guy has a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape. They've positioned snipers.

Yes, only in a Hillary office. Some other office, they might be introduced to famous local New Hampshire products, our fine firearms made in Exeter.

Agreed, but it's too early for a Reichstag fire. First she has to get into office, and lay the groundwork for the enabling acts. Then the fire, to propel it through.

I have been listening for awhile and I have not heard a thing about him having a gun yet. He does claim to have a bomb. Maybe this is a plot to get "The Patriot Act III: papers please" passed.

Probably just a deranged sort. Possible attempt at suicide by cop with a last bit of notoriety, who knows? You know the media will be doing retrospectives of the "troubles" of whomever it was.

If it was a jihadist, they'd have just yelled something about allah and gone boom, they don't tend to take hostages with bombs.

News is reporting that he wants to talk to Hillary on TV.

Hopefully it's a deranged liberal.

Right now, I just hope the hostages get out unharmed. I don't care about the politics.
Best end would be hostages run, hostage-taker gets kneecapped by a sniper. Not killed, but it'd hurt like hell. And then prison for life.

And the hostages might have learned a lesson about why being armed is good.

It's always been my opinion that if someone takes hostages, if the hostages get freed and the hostage-taker is still alive, the former hostages should each be given a steel-toed boot and allowed to deliver one kick in the jewels to the hostage-taker for their violation of rights. Seems fair.

I guess I should worry more, but I'm confident it won't end in a kaboom. If he meant to blow up, as you pointed out earlier, he would have by now. Either they'll talk him down, or they'll take him out. And apparently suicide bombers are too stupid (thankfully) to use dead-man switches.

Not among my top 10 'most likely to discount a vast conspiracy' but still.

Law enforcement sources have told the BBC that the suspect is well-known locally, and has a history of emotional issues.

He had earlier told his son to watch the news, according to sources.

Insane guy who wants to be on TV. It's probably not a live bomb. Apparently, hostages are supposed to be gone, and the cops are trying to figure out a way to avoid shooting the lunatic.

Len Budney · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:43:27 AM »

Is it too early to start taking bets whether this "disturbed" person is armed with a vest of deadly sticks of play-doh?

K Frame · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:46:52 AM »

CNN.com I believe has a bit saying that people have identified him as a fairly well known local individual who has a history of emotional problems.

Seymour Skinner: "I have a bomb."

Chief Wiggum: "Wait a minute. Those aren't bombs. They're hot dogs. Armour hot dogs."

Superintendent Chalmers: "What kind of man wears Armour hot dogs?"

Amazing the fun a mentally ill person can have with an old clock, some duct tape, and some hobby clay.

Well, there was also that idiot MIT student who went into Logan with lights and wires on her shirt, and wondered why she suddenly had MP5s pointed at her head.

I wouldn't get too worried, likely just a jealous husband from one of Bill's "adventures". rolleyes
