My Comment: Apparently he was successful in getting through the doors of the White House .... if not into the building itself. If he had a suicide vest .... it is hard to imagine the unimaginable.

He should have been shot.
Maybe he is mentally ill. Maybe the times or the press caused it.
Still if he had been shot dead, I think it would deter others and everyone involved would be safer.
I might have felt bad if he was mentally ill and shot dead or grieviously wounded, but I think it would save people in the future.
America would take a hit similar to the one it took when the USS Pueblo or similar incident occurred. The more hits you take to prestige, the worse it is. Sharks, Lions and buzzards circle.
Hillary Clinton was told that this unacceptable and that she had to go through an election whether she liked it or not.
