Dec 31, 9:41 PM (ET) WASHINGTON (AP) - Authorities near the White House arrested a man after he drove up to a security checkpoint in his car and drew the attention of wary police dogs Wednesday night, police said. The car approached a checkpoint at an intersection near Lafayette Park, just north of the White House, soon after 6 p.m. and police dogs grew suspicious of the car, according to police accounts. Several fire trucks, police cars and other emergency vehicles reported to the area after the driver was taken into custody. The driver was questioned before being arrested for possession of unregistered ammunition (shotgun shells) and having an unregistered vehicle, said Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service. The car was found to be safe about two hours later, he said Donovan identified the man as Andrew Martin, 20. Martin was from Delaware, Donovan said, though the agency spokesman did not know what city.

Indeed.
Looked suspicious??? Hanging offense right there.
Unregistered anything being a 1st degree felony !
They call it the AMERIKAN DREAM because you have to be asleep (and you are) to believe it !
If he were an "unregistered immigrant" he would have been turned loose.
You're absolutely correct ... my error !

what a bunch of horseshit. so a guy has shells. they could pose a threat if he throws em at someone.
if a people will not prosecute officials who subvert and violate the constitution, then the constitution has no authority over officials. Gengis Gandhi, Troubled Genius
A few years back a wheelchair bound man went to a Georgetown restaurant for dinner with other friends after a day of trap shooting and because some bigshot was also dining there the secret service searched patrons and stumbled upon some trap loads in the man's vest. He too was arrested for possession of unregistered ammunition in the District of Columbia. This is the type of nonsense that forced the issue of the DC gun ban before the SCOTUS. Now that New Jersey is finally under control (and cars displaying NRA decals are no longer stopped and tossed in searches for firearms or related contraband, thanks to 18 USC 926A) DC was the worst place for Draconian enforcement of blatantly unconstitutional gun laws.
that Americans must refuse to accept. We have bankers and politicians openly stealing the wealth of the country, forcing people from their homes, shipping employment over seas, sending our youth to war everywhere around the world, raising every aspect of taxes, controlling every minute of every day of our lives, while instructing us to like it. It is so ridiculous it's almost funny.

Oh it's a very serious threat to national security. [ sarcasm!] Even Jonathon Pollard did not carry unregistered ammo, albeit selling out our nation for 30 pieces of silver.
Not good. They are already speaking of the guy in the past tense. How dare he drive up to a checkpoint close to the White House. What is he thinking, that this is a free country or something?
God is always good!
That was what caught my attention.
This article really pisses me off.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Countries Without a Draft circa 2001 (You'll need this soon if you have kids) RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP that Americans must refuse to accept. We have bankers and politicians openly stealing the wealth of the country, forcing people from their homes, shipping employment over seas, sending our youth to war everywhere around the world, raising every aspect of taxes, controlling every minute of every day of our lives, while instructing us to like it. You better hope that the fedgov never offers the people a choice between keeping their guns or keeping their social security checks coming. If that happens the govt will take the guns with an "overwhelming mandate from the majority of the people". The fact is the majority of voters can't wait to sell the constitution out, and it could certainly be argued that such a state of affairs would justify the abolition of the 2nd amendment. "Thank you Mr. Chief Justice, and I'll be brief. It is the people's constitution and the people wish to change it. Who are we but humble servants, and what right have we to argue with the majority of voters who no longer wish to live in urban shooting galleries, or who no longer wish to risk being massacred when visiting public places like shopping malls and restaurants? And as this honorable court knows, we can no longer send postal workers into many neighborhoods to deliver social security or other govt entitlement checks until this threat to public safety has been addressed." "Thank you for an excellent summary, Mr. Solicitor General. I don't believe we need to hear any testimony from the NRA, the GOA, the CRPA, or the JFPO. The court will retire and take this matter under consideration. It won't take long so, may I suggest you grab a Coke in the lobby and wait around?"
I don't think it is a case of the majority just wanting to sell out the constitution. It is a matter of most people not having a clue about the constitution.
I read that, and quickly went back to the top to see if this is an Onion article!! Guess now that they can have guns in DC, it is the bullets that are the outlaws! LOL..............FUBAR.
Nobody forced people to sign papers for a home that I'm aware of. Haven't read a single, solitary report of such anyways. So, if 'they're bastards;' for reclaiming the security of a loan, what gives? Do you loan--interest free, of course, monies to folks who can't or won't repay you, and just tell the little wifie that you're doing your part to make America the way it should be? What do you tell the relatives you borrowed the money from to finance this piece of property when you don't get repaid? Sorry Charlie? I did see a blurb on the idiot tube recently about a company that goes into these vacated homes and remove all items remaining. People simply walked out of houses leaving everything behind. WAs the damnest thing--really weird........but then, maybe all the furniture was on loans, too, and they walked away from that. They didn't even bother to take their stuff to the curb for others to go thru and pick out.........they just walked away.
Don't forget Dee, Wash DC is a federal enclave and it's no diff than being on a military base or in a federal courthouse for the purpose of keeping contraband. All military installations have signs posted at their entrances forbidding firearms and ammo on the bases. Even routine evictions are executed by US Marshals in DC. I'm sure you've heard some military officer in a film say, "We're here to defend democracy not practice it." The residents of DC can squawk until the cows come home about not having two US Senators or even a voting rep in congress (their Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton "is able to serve on and vote with committees, as well as speak from the House floor. However, she is not permitted to vote on final passage of any legislation because she is not a member of Congress.") but, they have no more rights and are quite literally no different than the Civil War camp followers known as "Hookers" who followed "the good general" and his army from place to place.
No need right now. The banksters are allowing people to stay in their foreclosed homes until the next "sting" is ready for action and the local banks take over the inventory. What suckers we all are with our pathetic response to the stealing of our birthright and our childrens' future.
I think I may have some loose 12 guage shells rolling around in my trunk. I'd better check. I suspect they aren't any good, probably being oil-soaked for the last several years.
Have pug, will laugh.
I'm up to par on the DC bit; we can look forward to attempts in this Congress and Admin to have it become a state whether as a blatant unconstitutional public law attempt, or an amendment to the constitution. I've sat and watched CSPAN as the representatives are all sworn in--you know, the old 'promise to protect the Constitution' sort of oath, and then some of the first orders of business or speechifying is demands to make it a state and/or give the delegate, as well as all the other delegates, actual voting rights for passage or denial of passage. Proof positive they don't understand the constitution, nor do they stand by the oath they just took.
The sub-prime mortgage swindle was conceived by bankers preying upon the hopes of young couples attempting to do what mom and dad did the prior generation ... only housing had been artifically inflated by appraisers with the full support of bankers that were willing to lend 10 times the ACV (Actual Cash Value) plus another 20-50%. This was made possible through variable rate mortgages, which you and I knew were a scam but we already own our homes. The States, Cities and Counties all siphoned off enough of the tax increases to remain solvent for awhile, but now that the house of cards is crumbling, they have spin artists trying to make the simple minded general public believe that it was the borrowers fault. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM TRUTH ! (Now the States are lining up for a bail-out too. Soon it will devolve onto the cities and counties as well.) Current mortgage holders will be unable to sell their homes because the banks are selling homes that have already been vacated for a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand less that wht these mortgage holders owe. I understand that there were sub-prime loans made to 5 million illegals. This is beyond a minor stretch of standard bank policies that nominally require citizenship, and some prior credit history. The house I bought in 1979 in California, and paid too much for, cost me $78,000.00 ... I sold it for $132, 000.00 ... before the snap happened that same house appraised for $440,000.00 [Like I said, I paid too much for it at $78K]. These conditions are not completely the fault of the borrowers, but the blame belongs with the banking professionals that know better. I'd add this caveat: Speculators that have gotten burned deserved their losses, and the real scam is buried in DERIVATIVES. One last thing Rowdee, we live in the country and don't see the ridiculous prices for homes in major metro areas. The sub-prime problem doesn't exist where real estate and banking have maintained standard, disciplined, policy.

bottom line.......regardless of wanting to be lime mom and dad or have the 'american' dream, as they say, NO ONE was breaking their arms forcing them to sign on the dotted line. I don't know about anybody else, but I don't go thru an escrow without reading every single line. And I have to/want to understand what I am reading. And I'm not a college graduate. Just because they're offering cyrogenics for when people die doesn't mean this is the way to go, or that it is for anybody, somebody, or everybody. All that said, I would agree there are some bastards in the world, there are some businessmen who are bastards. But the majority of people are assholes who get themselves into messes and start crying wanting someone to get them out of it.
You're right about people paying for their own mistakes, but this is harder to blame on the current generation of young home buyers than it would be to blame the prior generations that slept through passage of the banking laws that are truly responsible for the unfolding debacle that is only slightly due to the sub-prime mortgage failures. Banks were forbidden by law from doing what they're doing today. My mom and dad bought their house in 1955 for $5000.00, their payment was $47.00 per month ... that won't buy some bicycles today. The real problem with the mortgage industry and homeownership today is that our money has no value, none. The cost of living has exceeded many people's ability to afford life anymore, but they're just beginning to see that. We haven't even begun to witness the "learned and professional" officials slopping at the trough for bailout funds. Further more, it's the general population that's being expected to pick up the tab on this abomination (and that includes people that have lost their homes if they're still taxpayers); it's the bankers being bailed out, not the people with mortgages they can't pay for any number of reasons. I agree with you that there were people signing contracts to buy homes they ultimately couldn't afford. I think they should lose them, and at the same time I think when the glut of unsold (foreclosed) homes begins to cause homeowners that have maintained their mortgage payments a problem if they wish to sell their home, the banks and their appraisers should be forced by law to refund every penny difference between the actual current value as opposed to the estimated loan value upon which the mortgage was originally based. There's an old expression that "shit rolls downhill" and that is what's taking place right before our eyes. The people (you called assholes who get themselves and others into messes are the ones that make our laws and have colluded with the banking elite to bankrupt the most blessed country on earth, INTENTIONALLY. They have hordes of lawyers and hordes of bookkeepers and hordes of CPAs. This isn't an accident, Rowdee.

Right.
Rowdee, the earth is capable of supporting all of the life produced on it. That doesn't mean a few greed driven groups can monopolize everything keeping 90% of it for themselves while the rest scrape and fight for the remaining 10%. At one time my mind was focused on the lazy and lethargic amongst us as the problem. The so-called welfare state consisting of the inner-city poor, criminals, drug addicted and other forms of humanity that act as a drain upon the production of others bothered me. Even if all of these types were directly responsible for their own financial problems that the public sometimes subsidizes, the true welfare state exists at the other end of the financial spectrum, amongst the elites and rich. They have the power to control the outcome, to control the politicians and lawmakers that legalize the no bid contracts for bridges to nowhere and subsidize farmers, or any other industry well enough healed to pay the graft and bribes required to get the legislation passed (often in the dark of night). I can't speak for your life experiences but mine include, war, ghetto residency, income in the top 5%, income in the bottom 5%, inner-city life and country-life. I have held differing opinions along the way that were generally a result of the propaganda that I chose to assimilate into my then present situation, which was the desired effect of the propagandists. What I really want to say is that God created the planet and made it capable of supporting the life it produced. Man has dominion over it but has allowed greed to dominate the minds of men that send humanity mixed messages to divide them against each other. While I'm opposed to the NWO or any global government, I'd have to admit that there should be an organized benevolent element governing things for the benefit of humanity. We have to be able to trade with each other and everyone should produce something, even though there are amongst us dreamers, poets, and people not cut out for the rigors of production. All are creatures of God, and mankind's inhumanity towards man is far beyond acceptable in light of the fact that this is a remakable planet that does produce plenty for all. I'm not a socialist, capitalist, religionist, communist, or elitist. I, like everyone else on this planet am a child of God traversing time and trying desparately to understand why mankind is its own worst enemy. We have a tendancy to only perceive our reality while ignoring that of others. Our perceptions are relative to our own conditions and environment. Anytime I see the blame for a major problem being placed at the feet of little people ... I'm hesitant to buy into it.
