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 jumperâs arrival.
"I heard him take a deep breath and whisper 'Alright letâs do this' and went for it," @VanessaVans_Â said on Twitter after sharing a pair of photos of the flag-draped individualâs ill-fated attempt at, well, whatever he was trying to do:Â
If youâre thinking, as you shove another crescent roll into your mouth, "Well, hey, thatâs not very original," then youâre 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.
