You've heard about this clown, I'm sure, by now.
A week ago, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, a student at Idaho State University, drove over 2,000 miles to Washington with one goal in mind----to kill President Obama. What this guy didn't know was that the First Family was away on vacation, and he wasted his bullets firing into an empty room.
A few days later, Ortega-Hernandez was arrested in Pennsylvania. A New York Daily News headline stated that the suspect claimed that the President was the Antichrist. On Inside Edition earlier today, a video of Ortega-Hernandez was shown where he claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus. Ok, so this punk is looking to get off on an insanity defense of the worst kind. If you believe the video, he is giving people the perception that he is a false prophet. Prison isn't the place for him, though. If he really is mentally ill, as it has been suggested, sending him off to a Federal prison would be the worst case scenario. Placing him in a psychiatric hospital makes more sense.
It's too easy to say he's a few spuds short of a bag of potatoes, or he's missing a few taco shells, or any variation on that tired line, but suffice it to say he's raised red flags with his comments. Instead of a crown of thorns, since he thinks he's Christ reborn, he's getting a pair of weasel ears.
Weasel seems a bit kind to this guy - who essentially tried to assassinate the President, despite him not being home.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a bit more to the story as Oscar was seen being part of the "Occupy Washington DC" protest. Considering whose house he fired upon, you'd think the drive by news media would play this to death.
Give them time, they may still do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if we look back a year or two, he was part of the teabag movement as well.
ReplyDeleteI think the Tea Party would disavow any knowledge of the existence of a loser like Ortega-Hernandez.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely wasn't a member of the Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteProof? The news pretty much dropped the story already.
BTW - Last time I checked, the Tea Party hasn't done anything remotely like what we've seen at the Occupy protests.
Ok, so he was a lone wolf who got plenty of bad advice somewhere.
