THE WHITE House is in lockdown after a man attempted to set himself on fire, a New York Times reporter has claimed.
Photos taken at the scene show security personnel tackling a person on the ground. Police and amublance crews are in attendance.
Nicholas Kristof, a columnist with the New York Times, said: “Someone apparently set himself on fire in front of the White House just now. I was coming out of the West Wing, and the Sevret Service isn’t letting anyone out onto Pennsylvania Ave. They say there are also suspicious packages.
“The whole area in front of the White House is now secured. Nobody coming in, and we aren’t allowed out.”
The Secret Service said on Twitter: “ALERT: Secret Service personnel are responding to a police/medical incident on Pennsylvania Ave. along the @WhiteHouse North Fence Line.”
This is a breaking story, more to follow...

If this is the latest protest method by deranged democrats, then, well....
OK.
But can we designate a special time and place for this?
Can we YouTube it?

I got to honest here and I’m sorry I kept this locked up but setting yourself on fire is a really bad idea.

A UK news source is the first to report this? That’s very strange. Where’s CNN? Didn’t they get tipped off?

Will there be copy cat self immolations? Come on Libs. Or was he/she simply a ‘burnee’ supporter. Sorry for the family if there is one.
