The Secret Service searched Occupy D.C. on Monday for a man suspected of firing bullets at the White House on Friday, one of which was stopped by the building’s ballistic glass.
Protestor Ralph Wittenberg told TPM on Tuesday evening that authorities came through “searching for a so-called terrorist who shot at the White House, with no warrant, they went into everybody’s tents.”
A person handling media requests for Occupy DC confirmed the searches and said they were led by the Secret Service. The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Police have been trying to locate 21-year-old Oscar Ortega Hernandez, a mentally ill man from Idaho who authorities say is connected to the incident, which apparently took place on Friday.
Agents began investigating after gunshots were heard on Friday night, but NBC Washington reports that agents didn’t discover the bullets until Tuesday morning.
One bullet hit an exterior window of the White House but was stopped by the bulletproof glass behind the historic glass. An additional round was found on the exterior of the building, the Secret Service told the news channel. Authorities recovered an AK-47 rifle near the scene.
Strangely, the Secret Service says the agency isn’t yet positive that the Friday incident is linked to the bullets found on the grounds of the White House.
I'm not surprised that some OWS person would shoot at a public building.
Apparently, laws don't apply to them.
German powers that were: Blame Jews, Gypsies,business owners, bankers.
Leftist US powers that be and OWS crowd that they support: Blame Tea Party, Christians, Soldiers, Patriots, Jews, business owners, bankers.
German powers that were: Had thugs in the street that they supported and they wore brown shirts.
Leftist US powers that be: Have thugs in the street that they support and wear colorful shirts.
German powers that were: Had thugs in the street that go unruly and got out of hand.

“They’re just like the Tea Party “
If you don’t count their defecating and urinating in public/overwhelming odor, the 3rd world diseases afflicting them, the theft, rapes, assaults, murders and attempted homicides—why, just like!
“The Park Police, who have issued a warrant for Mr. Ortega’s arrest, also said he had a tattoo with the word “Israel” on his neck, and published photos with other details of his appearance including a heavy beard and other tattoos.”
—How long before the leftists start a meme that Ortega was a “Zionist terrorist” because of his tattoo?
(I believe “Israel” is actually a fairly common Hispanic name).
*Oscar Ortega Hernandez, a mentally ill man...
Doesn’t this basically describe the whole OWS crowd?? *
LOL.
It would be difficult to narrow it down in that crowd!
Did you see Mr.K's take?
His is much better. I completely missed the Peoples’ Courts, summary judgments and hippies hanging from lamp posts.
It's incredible that the regimes logic is failing them. There are only a handful of small OWS sites. If they cannot find the guy in these sites... they need to increase their chances. What they should be doing is encouraging MORE OWS sites, and encourage the existing ones to GROW. That way, with more OWSers, they will have more places to search and look for the guy!
“searching for a so-called terrorist who shot at the White House, with no warrant, they went into everybody’s tents.”
since when are warrants necessary when squatters have taken over a public park and are camping in areas not intended for that purpose without permits???
or Jew hating- never mind any racist activity despite the lies of the criminal liberal media....
If the shooter were a muslim terrorist Obama and Holder would be rushing to defend him and read him his miranda rights. If he is a liberal loon Obama ACORN/SEIU paid thug the MSM will just ignore... move along...
This is bogus.
A White House insider predicted just such an event weeks ago, a “staged event”, that would occur in an attempt to garner sympathy for BHO2.
Figure it out: the guy is a mentally ill Hispanic with a tattoo, “Israel”, on his neck. He has a lengthy criminal past and possesses firearms. And the Feds just happen to have his records handy for the press.
People posting to this thread already have things figured out - it is a FAKE!
News on the radio just said he’s been arrested in Pennsylvania.
CBS has breaking news headline saying they captured him in Pennsylvania.
Occupy protesters plan to 'shut down' Wall Street on Thursday...
'You're going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to MACY'S'...
Bill Ayers and Obama must be very proud.
The difference between occupiers and tea partiers is that tea partiers respect the eons of civilization humans have progressed through.
HERBERT!
