Fence jumper able to reach east room of white house
by Adrianna Martinez
Omar Gonzalez a 42 year old Iraq war veteran jumped the White House fence earlier this month. He breached the mansions doors and surprisingly made it farther than officials believed. With a knife in his pocket Gonzalez was able to overcome one secret service officer and run into the East Room. He was then quickly subdued by other secret service officers. Many believed Gonzalez only reached the front entrance but actually he was able to run through much of the main floor and even past a staircase that leads to the first family's residence.
I believe this is a very serious situation because obviously the White House security is not that great. I believe they need to make their security better to insure an incident like this does not occur again because its a threat to national security and the president's life. Also they need to make the fences that surround the White House taller to prevent other people from intruding who could be a threat to the president and the country .
I heard this on the news too. This does kind of make the White House security look bad. It just might give other people the wrong idea. It's not safe at all.
ReplyDeleteA world without Obama would not be the same.This accusation should be taken under consideration by the White House officials. This is a threat to the nation that can not just slide.
ReplyDeleteThis story is actually quite funny but on a serious note I feel the white house should be a very secure and safe place to make sure situations like this don't happen
