NEW YORK — Authorities apprehended a man who witnesses say may have pulled a gun out of a backpack as President Barack Obama's motorcade passed today in New York.
The man, who wore a blue hat, had dark curly hair and appeared to be in his 20s, was wearing a backpack. New York Police Department officers and Secret Service agents shouted, "Get down, get down," and tackled the man at the corner of Church and Vessey Streets in lower Manhattan.
Obama had just left the World Trade Center site and his motorcade was turning from Vessey Street to Church Street when the incident occurred in front of the Church Street Station Post Office.
The man was taken into the post office as dozens of officers from various organizations arrived to assist.

The only effective weapon against 0bama is bacon.
And moslems don’t really use that.
If you really want to stop Omoslem, have a Christian, Buddhist, or Athiest serve him crispy bacon. He’ll flee, sprint into the wall and knock himself out.
May not make sense, but it happened.
The nuts move first - and make the sane follow.
Actually I think there are quite a few Jihadist wackos out there who view him as a Muslim Apostate and would love to take a shot at him now that he’s killed off their patron saint.
The most interesting and pertinent fact that seems to have been completely omitted from the story was whether or not the police and secret service agents, who tackled the man immediately, recovered a gun or weapon of any kind.
I would think that a curious and inquiring reader of the story would want to know that little factual tidbit.
“The Amish wear black hats.”
Not the Reformed Amish. They wear blue.
Expect another barrage of hate against the First and Second Amendments
See #38.
History is being revised as we speak.
They screwed up though, you are supposed to let them shoot first, so it seems there was a real danger.
If the gun doesn’t go off, you don’t get respect — see for example Gerald Ford, who had two botched assasination attempts against him, and never got credit for surviving them.
Yeah, them be “weasel words”. “Allegedly” would’ve been a better word to use than “may have”.
Plenty of cops there but walk up Trinty during the day. There are thousands of pedestrians going by. Sure theres security but its a very uncontrolled environment.
Costume party
Don't they know that it's illegal to carry a firearm into a Post Office?
Someone's gonna get their pee-pee whacked for that...
Even if it had been a muslim seeking revenged for UBL they would blame the birthers and the tea party.

I could take this guy with a knife!!! From the front!!!
Because HE CANT SEE with that stupid ski mask covering his eyes!!!
Seriously... Dude...
No, I don't think anyone is even alledging that he did, just that he "may have".
From the other story linked it sounds like he was just trying to push his way through the crowd and thought it was a good idea to say "Secret Service coming through" to get people to move out of his way.
