The White House Intruder
Summary
In September, soon after the first family left the white house for Camp David, a man named Omar Jose Gonzales jumped the white house fence carry a knife entering the main gates. There was no security guard and no security ever tried to stop him while running. After Gonzalez was captured, police found more than 800 rounds of ammunition in his car near the White House. Later it was revealed that when Gonzalez had been arrested by Virginia police in July 2014, he had several weapons and a White House map in his possession.

Analysis
I think that if the white house is housing the president and a man carrying a knife is able to run across the lawn and enter the white house. Especially if he came with much more heavily armed weapons just waiting in his car. Who knows what could've really happened if he actually brought all those guns.
Discussion Questions
1) Why do you think he tried to enter the white house
2) Why wasn't there any on duty guards
3) Do you think this will happen again soon, with all the school shootings going on
I think that the man who intruded the white house was probably mentally insane. Nobody would EVER think of breaking into the white house, of all places. He probably was mental and wanted to kill the president. I think it is horrible and pitiful that there weren't any security guards on the premises. Also, aren't there supposed to e cameras ALL OVER with people watching them at all times....?
ReplyDeleteI think this man tried to break into the white house because he wanted to hurt the President or some else who was in the building at the time. I feel like the security lacked to do their job at this time and someone should be fired for this.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why the security quard was not on duty, It was a huge slip up and if the First Family were their the situation could have ended badly. It makes the USA look bad and it tells other people who might be dangerous to come to the white house and harm people.
ReplyDeleteI think the man could have entered the White House to hurt the president. I have no clue why there were no guards on duty but that doesn't sound right. I think if there are no guards then people will continue to entering the White House gates.
