Armed man
no threat to Obama?
Just because his last name is McVey...
Excerpt:
An Ohio man who authorities say was carrying
a gun and driving a car loaded with law enforcement equipment
when he said he wanted to see the president is
a "public-service-minded" ham-radio, weather and police buff,
acquaintances said Monday.
Joe McVey, who was spotted by police in
an Asheville Regional Airport parking lot Sunday just after
Air Force One departed, had a note in his car
with formulas used for firing a rifle with a scope, authorities said.
McVey did not have a rifle with him, but the arrest
was merited to ensure McVey was not a threat, said Jeff Augram,
the airport's public safety chief. Knowing McVey's
interests as a radio buff, weather enthusiast and sheriff's volunteer
helped explain many of the items found in his
car, Augram said.
McVey was being held under a $100,000 secured
bond for the misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public.
If he posts bail, McVey would be released. The
investigation was continuing, but the Secret Service said he did not believe
there was a federal agency that wanted him held.
On Monday, he appeared calm and spoke in a steady
voice for a court hearing via video conference.
McVey faces up to 120 days in jail if convicted
of the misdemeanor.

Remember under Der Monkey Fuhrer, they'd arrest people for wearing an anti-Bush t-shirt?
They did that because the Democrats didn't have
the brains or the balls to get an order from a judge
that spelled out the illegality of arresting
citizens for wearing shirts with opinions on them.
Bullies will continue to bully until they are
stopped.
Maybe the Democrats will learn what every school
kid knows in my lifetime?
I wonder what America would be like if the Left
wanted to win?
