An Ohio man crashed a Jeep into a security perimeter and then jumped the fence at the White House because he wanted to spray-paint the Revolutionary War-era "Don't Tread on Me" snake on the grounds, authorities said in court documents Tuesday. The man, identified in federal charging documents as Joseph Reel, 32, of Kettering, Ohio, near Dayton, was charged with destruction of government property after the incident in the predawn hours of Sunday.
The documents say Reel wasn't armed when he jumped the fence. But they say investigators found 200 rounds of ammunition, eight knives and two machetes in the Jeep, which caused about $1,000 in damage.

If he was going to do this he should have left the weapons at home. Now they will make sure he does hard time.

What do you base this on? While his action was illegal the items he had with him are not.
A short time later, according to the report, Reel rode up on a bicycle and climbed over a fence at the north courtyard of the Old Executive Office Building, just west of the White House itself.
He was carrying a can of spray paint, which he dropped as he fled Secret Service agents, the court records allege.

Crashing into the white house with weapons. They will say he was armed and in case you didn't know this you get more time if a weapon is involved.
One side of the story shows the GOVT will not tolerate protesters and how quickly they are handled.
The other shows a man angry at his GOVT who wants to spread a message regardless of your perspective level of competency
I have a hard time understanding why any American citizen still believes in this Administration at all with its lack of transparency and subsequently vast amounts of cover ups and scandals.
How can a GOVT tolerate the first Amendment, freedom of speech and expression of, too much.? That is a completely un American comment against the first law in your constitution. Not third, 25, 8, 17, the 1 FIRST.
