An unidentified man seemingly draped in an American flag has predictably been arrested after jumping the White House fence while President Barack Obama and his family were inside celebratingThanksgiving, according to CNN. The man was quickly detained by Secret Service agents after making it onto the North Lawn, though the White House was briefly put on lockdown immediately following the latest fence jumper’s arrival.
"I heard him take a deep breath and whisper 'Alright let’s do this' and went for it," @VanessaVans_ said on Twitter after sharing a pair of photos of the flag-draped individual’s ill-fated attempt at, well, whatever he was trying to do:
If you’re thinking, as you shove another crescent roll into your mouth, "Well, hey, that’s not very original," then you’re absolutely right. In fact, the New York Daily News reports that the White House recently outfitted the fence an extra seven inches of spikes to the top of the fence after similar incidents earlier this year.
Get a better hobby, fence jumpers.
