On Thursday a college student, Joseph Caputo, was draped in an American flag and jumped the White House fence with a "rewritten constitution". He claimed to have no intension of harming anyone or himself but prompted a lockdown while President Barack Obama was celebrating Thanksgiving with his family. "Caputo was the first person to jump over the White House fence since the Secret Service installed additional metal spikes earlier this year in response to a series of security breaches." As of right now, he has been charged with illegal entry which has a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison.
It is good that this man wanted to try and improve our economy, but, especially with all of the threats going on right now, he could've chosen a much better way to get his message across. It is said that his constitution contained "an expression of desire for change in various areas of society including education, the judiciary, voting rights and privileges" This reminds me of ideas such as the Anaconda Plan introduced by General Winfield Scott, but was vetoed by almost all Union Commanders. He tried to develop a different strategy to win the war without all of the violence but was shot down.

That's crazy and really suspicuous. While Obama is having dinner with his family he jumps the fence? He had good intentions but that crazy
