Idiot Arrested for Throwing Firecrackers at White House
Dumb-ass
The Secret Service has arrested a man for tossing firecrackers over a fence at the White House.
A federal law enforcement official says the shoeless man was immediately arrested Monday. An Associated Press photographer heard what sounded like two gunshots outside the White House. Three uniformed Secret Service officers arrested a middle-aged man. The man was white, with dark hair, a blue shirt and white shorts. His white shoes lay on the ground near where the officer tackled him.

That wasn't PUTIN, by any chance, was it!??!?!
Why is that illegal?
I guess maybe fireworks are banned there, but c'mon, are we going to spend thousands of dollars putting this guy in jail when the cop could have just said "Hey dumbass, knock it off"
Offer to let him go if he agrees not to reproduce?
In another story the idiot turns out to be a MENSA member.
