Idaho Man Charged With Attempted Assassination
An Idaho man accused of firing two shots at the White House last week has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Barack Hussein Obama or his staff.
Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, made his first court appearance before a federal magistrate in Pittsburgh on Thursday, one day after he was arrested at a western Pennsylvania hotel. He will be taken back from a federal court in Pittsburgh to face the charges in Washington, D.C.
Ortega will remain in federal custody at least until a magistrate in Washington can determine if he should remain jailed until his trial on the charge, which carries up to life in prison. Read more at ap.org.
Authorities suspect Ortega has been in the area for weeks, coming back and forth to the Washington Mall. Before the shooting, he was detained by local police at an abandoned house. U.S. Park police say Ortega may have spent time blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters.
But wait, I thought OWS was pro-Obama, and some sort of Democratic Party plot to being Communism to America using that fake Global Warming crap, with a New World Order by manipulating a secret Masonic handshake, and a pro-gay Hollywood movie,.
Trolls are so stupid.
After reading that reply of yours I'd have to you're way beyond stupid.
this is not what ows is about! we can do it without killing anybody. murder is not an option, truth is the option!!!!!!
He may be linked to the movement however his actions are independent of the movement
Let's thank Fox News for all this wonderful information.

Right-wing Disinformation! LIAR ALERT!!! brettdecker is a right-wing LIAR!
The Washington Post reported, via USA Today:
"In trying to determine why he recently traveled to the nation's capital from the western part of the country, investigators searched the Occupy D.C. campground near the White House but have found no connection between him and the Occupy protesters, according to three law enforcement officials familiar with the case." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/11/white-house-shooting-directed-at-obama/1
Armed people from Idaho are, more often than not, right-wing anti government extremists. I would suspect that is most likely in this case too.
from the looks of him I'd wager mentally unstable and could have close family members who have been subject to deportation.
Thats convincing evidence...not
yeaaaaaaa no.
OWS knows Obama is just as dirty as anyone else and some think a lot more but there aren't many who would even throw a rock at Obama. best to turn your back on a traitor than make him a martyr.
This Shooter guy is just a kookoo nut with a 11-11-11 date and a vision to become famous.
So this guy spends two weeks in DC living in a occupy encampment and he has no relationship with OWS. and OWS had no bearing on his decision
however, some nut case that had never attended a Tea Party gathering shoots Giffords at a town hall meeting and he is suddenly associated with the tea party, Sarah Palin coaxed him on etc...
yes, it all makes perfect sense to me.
Yes,this is the psychosis of the Progressive Left and it's spreading to every city and town. OWS is the perfect vehicle for the Progressive agenda.
