One would think that the words following "Michelle Obama threatened by..." would be something along the lines of "Slurpee Machine Technicians" or "Vengeful Hoveround Gang." Actually, though, the threats made against the First Lady's life in recent days came from - surprise! - a police officer and a run-of-the-mill moron. First, a D.C. police officer "who worked as a motorcycle escort for White House officials and other dignitaries" was just jokin' around with his pals and figured the time was right to whip out a picture of a gun and proclaim that he would use it to shoot Michelle Obama. Okay sure! But do not worry, he has been moved to an "administrative position" now, for safety. And then there was the poor idiot who made a bomb joke at a bad time. In 2012 in New York City. Really, sir?
Our FLOTUS was just about to take Malia and Sasha to see "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" (Why not "Newsies?" Makes no sense!) when there was a SUPER TERRIBLE threatening bomb threat that almost killed everyone dead.
The First Lady and her daughters hit Broadway Sunday to watch “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” — and for a moment it looked like the women in the President’s life might need Spidey’s help.
Just before Michelle Obama and her girls, Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, arrived at the Foxwoods Theatre, a boneheaded theater-goer joked to cops that his luggage might “blow up.”
The jokester, whose name was not released, apparently did not know the First Lady and her daughter were attending the 3 p.m. matinee when he and other theatergoers were asked to check their bags at the door.
“Yeah, I’ll check my bags but if the show is bad, they’ll blow up,” the man said, according to a police source.
“It was a stupid thing to say to any cops, but particularly in this case,” the source said.
NYPD officers and the Secret Service interviewed the man and inspected bags, but found nothing suspicious. He was not arrested.
But was this the white Spider-Man or black/Latino minority hybrid Miles Morales ? Details. [ NY Daily News ]
