This Is Upsetting

At the time of this writing, there is a man with a bomb strapped to his chest inside a Clinton campaign office in New Hampshire. Two hostages have been released but there might be more. I don't know if this link will continue to work, but it's on all of the news sites.

EDIT: Situation cleared up. Just flares and no bomb, a man who wanted psych help and attention and couldn't find it, nobody hurt.

To clarify, this is a small Clinton campaign office in the town of Rochester NH, not the campaign's headquarters.

Fixed, thanks.

Good god. That's really bizarre.

I bet when they catch the guy and dismantle the bomb, they'll find it was a dummy. I hope so.

No, she was scheduled to speak at a Democratic National Committee event today, but cancelled when this news broke. I don't know if she'd heading for New Hampshire

I noticed this in the news earlier today. There were a couple of local public schools that went into lockdown. I have no idea what this person is trying to prove with this dumb action. I hope noone get hurt, and that is it a fake bomb.

According to one news site, it's being reported that he has flares strapped to his body, not a bomb. Nothing official on that, yet.

One of the articles I read stated that his son (or some close relative?) said that the guy told him to "watch the news today" and also he'd been drinking heavily for the past few days. And he was paranoid that the government was "out to get him".

Just great. A drunk paranoid, with a bomb/perhaps flares strapped to his chest, demanding to speak to Hillary.

The situation has ended, the man has been caught. All over.
