» 60 comments

Oscar Ramiro Ortega was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Pennsylvania authorities at a hotel near Indiana, Pennsylvania, according to a report from the Secret Service. He is currently in Pennsylvania State Police custody.

ABC News uncovered that Ortega had an extensive rap sheet, ranging from “domestic violence to drug charges” and a police investigation uncovered evidence that Ortega was fixated on the White House. Originally based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, he was “reported missing Oct. 31 by his family” according to the Associated Press.

The AP added that “the bullet that hit the window was stopped by ballistic glass. The Secret Service did not disclose the location of the second bullet, saying only that it was found on the exterior of the White House.”

    The conspiracy theories already on heavy flow.  The best being Holder’s delivery of “fast and furious” weapons to OWS for the purpose of building sympathy for Obama and justification for weapons confiscation.  Some on the right live in their own bad fiction.

    ABC is reporting that the shooter was from the OWS D.C. camp;

    http://abcnews.go.com/US/white-house-shooting-suspect-ramiro-ortega-hernandez-arrested/story?id=14966099#.TsQg4_I8dBm

    So….how are you writers at Mediaite….gonna spin this one?

    “Authorities suspect Ortega-Hernandez had been in the area for weeks, coming back and forth to the Washington Mall. Before the shooting, he was detained by local police at an abandoned house. U.S. Park police say Ortega may have spent time with Occupy D.C. protesters.”

    The guy is dressed to blend in with the OWS group perfectly.

    Up to what now, 5? This is Secret Service work, they tend to want to get a little publicity when the winger fruitcake measures go up. This is our Secret Service saying, We are here and we gonna getcha. Mostly they do exactly that. There are THOUSANDS of death threats and rumors they have to deal with every month.

    Naw…I’m idiotproof778 (think fireproof)  Spin cycle will be running, no worries. Is this the 1st attempt by a radical fringe dumba$$? Hey, MASSMURDERAMERICA. Did you know Bush #2 began the North American Union thing back in March 2005? About a month before  my dad died. Anyway, Bush #2,  met with Vicente Fox and Canadian P.M. Paul Martin in Whacko Waco, Tx, to sign a pact to create a N.A.U. by 2010. LOL They are a little late. However the Plan is still in effect. Imagine, murdering our America, to combine whatever it turns into, with a bunch of drug cartels and Canada, Eh? What would we call it?  MexAmeroCan? CanAmeroMex?  AmeroMexCan? (( raspberry on that )) helluva day.

    Actually, ABC news didn’t say that, teatard. They were speculating. It’s in your own fukcing post. The operative word there is “may” not “was.” I was watching Fox News Live earlier, even they (a report by Wendel Goller) did not say he was from the OWS D.C. camp.

    Seeing as you are the one looking up conspiracy theories, I’d say you are living in your own bad fiction.

    Until something else shows, this is merely a one-off and someone that needed to be in counseling or rehab of some sort. You posting what you just did says more about you than it does with those on the right of which I’ve read nothing about this story.

     ”Seeing as you are the one looking up conspiracy theories, I’d say you are living in your own bad fiction.”
    – The conspiracy theories exist on Conservative sites.  One of many examples below.

    Until something else shows, this is merely a one-off and someone that needed to be in counseling or rehab of some sort.
    – My easily inferred position.

    “You posting what you just did says more about you than it does with those on the right of which I’ve read nothing about this story.”
    – Impossible sentence to comprehend with any accuracy.

    “Israel” is a common Hispanic name. It does not suggest a connection to Jews.

    If this guy were “white” the loons would have trolled this thread with a thousand posts by now. Instead, they will just act like it didn’t happen. That’s about as un-American as it gets.

    What gave you the clue, this stuff is hard.  But why the hell else would anyone go to Idaho Falls, Idaho?   I mean think about it, they’re numbers are down,so the supremacy groups are dropping they’re standards(their words, not mine)(uh, but I haven’t spoken to them, really.)  I don’t consider Hispanic people to be a step down, I’ll shut up now.  OK, I’m confused!

    If this guy were “white”

    Are you that f’ing stupid, Jeffy? Of course you are!

    You are saying this guy, because his name is Hispanic IS NOT white. You believe all Hispanics have one look and one nationality.

    You know what gave you away? Your bigotry based on his name alone.

    I dare you moron to look at any Caucasian with brown eyes and brown hair and call them “Mexicans”

    Look at yourself, Jeffy. You look like many other Mexicans I see everyday. The only difference is you are a drooling racist POS.

    He must have been inspired by Sarah Palin. And even if he wasn’t, the possibility could generate a week of programming on MSNBC.

    Look Tex, He never said he was in pursuit of his own knowledge.  It’s perfectly acceptable to use someone else’s knowledge.
