(DC Pundit) – Washington D.C. got a taste of Hoosier hospitality gone wrong this weekend when an Indiana man decided to play cowboy outside the White House on Saturday night. Thankfully, President Donald Trump, was sipping Diet Cokes at Mar-a-Lago, far from the chaos. The Secret Service put an end to the gunman’s ill-advised antics, leaving him hospitalized and Republicans everywhere breathing a sigh of relief.
According to the Daily Mail, this genius parked his car at 17th and G Streets NW, then proceeded to strut around, firearm in hand. Secret Service agents, who don’t mess around when it comes to protecting the leader of the free world, clocked him as a suicide-by-cop candidate. When he started waving his gun, they responded with decisive action.
The man was carted off to a hospital, condition unknown, probably regretting his life choices. No Secret Service agents were harmed, proving once again that the good guys with guns still run the show.
Anthony Guglielmi, Chief of Communications for the US Secret Service, laid it out plain and simple: “Secret Service personnel were involved in a shooting following an armed encounter with a person of interest shortly after midnight on March 9 at 17th and G Streets NW. As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel. The suspect was transported to an area hospital and his condition is unknown. There were no reported injuries to Secret Service personnel.”
Translation: Bad guy waved gun, good guys shot back, end of story.

Here we are, barely into Trump’s second term, and the crazies are already crawling out of the woodwork. You’d think after his landslide win in November the left would’ve learned to sit down and take the L. Apparently not.
Regarding our Indiana friend: what was the plan here? Storm the White House solo? Make a statement? Whatever it was, it’s a reminder of why we need strong law enforcement, something Trump has been hammering home since day one.
Hats off to the Secret Service. These folks don’t flinch. So here’s to them, and here’s to President Trump, safe in Florida, probably tweeting about this clown as we speak. God bless America—and God help the idiots who think they can outgun the best in the business.
