Hillary Hostage Situation....

[Perd Hapley]

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.

He doesn't actually believe that, does he?   

Hopefully it's a deranged liberal.

Why not? It's New Hampshire. Most people I know carry concealed.

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?"

Fat men, skinny men, men who climb on rocks

Tough men, sissy men, even men with chicken pox........

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

You're preaching to the choir, man.

Right now, I just hope the hostages get out unharmed. I don't care about the politics.

Okay, that's twice in like 5 minutes that I've found myself in agreement with Manedwolf.  I think I should be buying lotto tickets or something right now.

[Manedwolf]

Um...hm...Dover SWAT, these are.



Is it SOP to stand right to the right of the ejection port of your fellow officer's rifle?

I think that guy is further back than you think.  But who cares?  It's just brass.

They must have got a good deal price on woodland camo BDU's.

In one of the news stories someone witnessed him buying road flares in a store prior to the event.

So, almost certainly no bomb, just a known nut with road flares.  Which wouldn't have been a problem if the campaign staffers could recognize a road flare on sight.

"I have a bomb, I'll kill us all!"

"Ummm, nope, you've got a bunch of road flares and you'll suffer some painful burns.  Hit the bricks Bugsy."

Hmmm, one of those guys taught my carbine course at SigArms.

In case you haven't heard, it ended peacefully.  Drat.

I've shot with two of those SWAT guys.  One is a regular at my monthly IDPA matches.

If they were the cheaper type, they're the same off-red paper as the old movie images of "dynamite", so I can't blame the general citizenry for thinking that's what they might be. Especially if they were obscured by duct tape at the ends and he just flashed them quickly and closed the coat again.

Dp you shoot at Pelham?

[Bogie]

I'm just wondering...
 
When something like this happens in a small city, do they call a time-out so everyone can change clothes? Puhleeze don't tell me that they have all these guys sitting around in camo all day long...

Dynamite is brown or off-whiteish.  Road flares are red and have writing on them.  I'm supercilious and expect people to know the difference, after all, I do.    Where's the "pat self on back for being so cool" smilie?

The SWAT team came from Dover, NH.  They are full-time officers, and part-time SWATies.  They only put on the special clothes for special occassions.

Dover, just south of Rochester, is the larger of the two towns.  Rochester has a population of about 30k.

Followup...Now I feel bad that they didn't get a chance to shoot him.

Rundles cited Eisenberg's prior convictions in asking for the bail. The cases cited dated back to a knife possession charge in 1978. Others included an assault with deadly weapon case in 1981 and a rape in Worcester, Mass., in 1985. He escaped from custody after the rape and was recaptured in New Hampshire after committing a second rape. Other convictions on record include some in New Hampshire in recent years.

The defendant was known as Ralph E. Woodward before taking on the Eisenberg name in recent years.

Sounds like a Dem. target voter.
