The man who was allowed to go, uninterrupted, on an a jog across the White House lawn and shown the door to the building where he entered then jogged around the East Room for a while before he was eventually stopped, was indicted today.

Omar Gonzalez, 42, has been charged with one count of entering and remaining a restricting building and grounds, a federal offense that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, according to an indictment filed by the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

According to the federal prosecutors, Gonzalez was carrying a Spyderco VG-10 knife with a 3.5-inch blade, and was also in possession of hundreds of rounds of ammunition in a car parked nearby, including 12-gauge shotgun shells, 9mm rounds and rounds for a sniper rifle.

The knife possession charge holds a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to five years in prison in the District of Columbia, and the ammunition charge carries a potential maximum of a year in prison.

Federal prosecutors say Gonzalez had a dangerous fixation on the president, stockpiling weapons and ammunition and carrying a map to the White House stuffed in a Bible during an earlier arrest.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
