Hostages Taken At Clinton Campaign Office

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/14737866/detail.html

This is in progress as of about an hour ago per the post date/time of this thread.

This kind of action is despicable and if politically motivated will reflect poorly on the Republican party power base.

Thoughts?

Edit: Text of this current breaking news... from above link:

An armed man took at least two workers 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 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.

Witness Lettie Tzizik said that she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker.

"A young woman with a 6-month or 8-mont-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape."

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.

"I walked out and I immediately started running, and I saw that the road was blocked off. They told me run and keep going," said Cassandra Hamilton, who works in an office adjacent to the building.

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. Presidential candidate Barack Obama also has an office in Rochester, and it has been evacuated. There were no reports of any injuries.

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

Oh ****. I opened this thread expecting to see a punchline at the end.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Seems we need to add "Bomb Free Zone" signs next to the "Gun Free Zone" signs.

indicative of the society the liberals have created.  it reflects poorly on all of us since we are the ones who have permitted the vocal few to make us what we are today.

I ask collectively, see if this makes sense to you  not that I think it will

The man will be praised as a hero around here.
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
