Man arrested for tossing firecrackers over White House fence
Published September 16, 2013FoxNews.com

The Secret Service arrested a shoeless man for tossing firecrackers over a fence at the White House Monday night, just hours after at least one suspect opened fire inside the nearby Navy Yard killing 12 people before he died following a shootout with police.

Although the sounds outside the northwest gate were initially described as sounding like gunshots, a US Secret Service official said it was firecrackers and no gun was found.

Three uniformed Secret Service officers arrested the middle-aged man who had dark hair and wore a blue shirt and white shorts. His white shoes lay on the ground near where an officer tackled him.

The capital has been on high alert following the Navy Yard shootings.

The secret service guys at the White House are insanely good at their jobs. I once saw a crazy guy try to hop the front fence, before he did it I didn't see an agent in sight. He was up on the fence for maybe one second before being swarmed by 3 of them. I've never seen anything like it.

You gotta figure that half the tourists outside the place on any given day are Secret Service.

I remember reading that in the 1920s you could just walk up and go in. But you had to make an appointment to meet the president.

I know Secret Service put a lot of effort into studying people and recognizing a threat well before it develops. They have a couple guys in booths just watching the crowd and if somebody is going to start some shit they see it coming a mile away.

I wonder if they can use facial recognition to identify people quickly and then link it to their NSA tracking files.

"Hey! That's Comrade Crapski from Chiefsplanet! Shoot to kill! Shoot to kill!"
