Hostage situation at Hillary Clinton NH HQ
Having been burned for jumping to conclusions once before, I will refrain from speculating on the nutjob’s motivations until more facts come in. But the fact remains that someone walked into the Clinton campaign HQ in Rochester, NH with a bomb strapped to his chest and demanded to speak to the junior Senator from New York.
What he wanted so desperately to say to Sen. Clinton that he felt the need to commit a felony to do so is up for debate. Current reportage, however, suggests that he has a history of mental illness who told his son to “watch the news” today, so whatever it was may not have been all that intelligible.
Fortunately, it appears that the hostages have been freed unharmed, so that’s good news, at least.
