Good Lord. I have work to do & here I sit reading this hysterical thread. I don't even want to watch it cuz this right here is enough for me!

This really is ridiculous. Unless the dude has a nuclear bomb, this should have been over HOURS ago.

Oh, wait! Wag the doggie??

yarnball... that occurred to me. I told hubby "meanwhile, 3000 real terrorists could be storming the Whitehouse, while this guy who made a "threat" 3000 miles away is taking up half a million dollars in resources.

The man standing off with police in Westwood since 10:30 a.m. was arrested without incident more than eight hours later when police approached the vehicle and pulled the man out. He is reportedly Joe Moshe, 56, of Westchester.

Police and Secret Service responded to alleged threats he made against the White House when he fled, prompting a pursuit north on the 405 freeway to the parking lot of the Federal Building at Wilshire and Veteran. Police surrounded his vehicle in the driveway where the standoff began, ending around 6:45 p.m. after a long day which included the closure of Veteran Avenue, the evacuation of a nearby apartment building, the partial lockdown of the Federal Building and a handful of tear gas attempts.

Moshe's mother said he was sick and depressed. Neighbors said he was harmless.
