Man arrested for planning to kidnap President's dog

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

The man, Scott D. Stockert, 49, of Dickinson, North Dakota, first came to the attention of the Minnesota field office of the Secret Service, which learned of his intention to kidnap Bo or Sunny, the Obamas’ two dogs, the Post said, citing a court filing.

When Stockert drove his pickup truck from North Dakota to Washington, Secret Service officers located him at a Hampton Inn near the Convention Center in downtown Washington, close to both the White House and the Capitol building, the filing said.

Agents found a 12-gauge shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle in Stockert’s vehicle, along with 350 rounds of ammunition, a 12-inch machete and a billy club...

They must be remarkably formidable dogs.

Jack Bauer had a good reason for that. Those dogs were about to set off a nuke that was going to blow up D.C.! You may disagree with his methods, but he gets the job done.

Am I the only one who thinks that maybe 'planning' isn't the right word, here?
I'll buy 'intending.' But it doesn't look like there was much of a plan....

I mean, to kidnap my dogs, you'd have only needed a dead porcupine or half a raccoon wedged in your car's undercarriage. The dogs would fight the Secret Service for the chance to roll in the damned things, then bung the smelly idiots into the van, drive off.

No need for a machete...

Anyone else notice the appropriateness of this jerkoff's hometown name?

Heh heh. You are the herp to my derp.

What was his backup plan? Drop a flaming bag of poop on the doorstep, ring the bell, and run away?

Well, he was Jesus Christ reincarnated into the body of the son of JFK and Marilyn Monroe so it's not like he needed a plan anyway or even weapons. He could have just used miracles to kidnap the dog and then restore America.

crap, I thought you were making that up. Sounds like his family has the line on prophecy, though.

“You picked the wrong person to mess with,” Stockert told agents, according to the court documents. “I will (expletive) your world up.”

... his family believes he’s not taking his medication.

Well, at least guns aren't getting into the hands of the mentally ill.

Hope he receives the treatment he needs to get better.

That's just dog gone bizarre.
