While most of Chicago was celebrating Tuesday night, police and Secret Service agents believe one man may have been plotting to harm the man who would become president elect.As the GOP was often fond of saying after 9/11, "Welcome to the New Normal".
"Police and the Secret Service are investigating whether a man arrested this afternoon in Rosemont with an assault rifle intended to harm Barack Obama, several sources have told the Chicago Sun-Times," the paper reported.
The man was arrested during a routine traffic stop, according to the paper. Police found a laptop computer opened to a page warning of possible riots if Obama won. The man also had a stun gun, ammunition and hand guns, along with the assault rifle, sources told the paper.
“There’s an individual who we have in custody at this time. There’s no charges as of yet,” a police spokesman told the Sun Times. “As part of the investigation, we’ve gotten the assistance of other law enforcement agencies.”
Everything is different now. This guy suffers from a pre-11/4 mindset!
All joking aside, this is pretty awful. The world that we live in doesn't need to tolerate this for a second. And yet the reality is while the world changed forever last night, the people in it didn't. We still have the same problems we did on November 3, 2008.
We're going to have to work to fix them, and work hard.
