A man jumped over the White House fence just after 6 p.m. Thursday, prompting a lockdown, according to an official with the United States Secret Service. The man was taken into custody by Secret Service Officers. He was seen holding a stuffed Pokemon "Pikachu" doll and wearing clothing related to the animated show.

One witness said that the man refused to heed agent's commands to "get down." The agents had their guns drawn and eventually the man sat down with his knees to his chest. He was then arrested.

The U.S. Secret Service apprehended a different trespasser at the White House in August — a toddler who squeezed through a fence and ended up on the lawn.

 

[DECK'ARD]

He just wanted to be the very best

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Should have found a bush and used cut

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

gotta catch 'em all

 

[EightBitNate]

It was Joe Biden

 

[HerbertFish]

Gaf has gone too far with their anger of no mewtwo in smash

 

[Wyndstryker]

Should've forced a pokemon battle. If he won he would've gotten through without resistance.

 

[Dishwalla]

He was probably trying to challenge Brock Obama at his gym.

Although despite what the cartoon says I don't think his Pikachu is any match for that Onix.

 

[Sayter]

He should've had Super Mario gear.

 

[toxicgonzo]

SECRET SERVICE uses TAKE DOWN.
It's super effective!

 

[Volimar]

He'd have been out of luck. An electric type against BaRock Obama? Truly, a madman.

 

[ColtraineGF]

He was probably trying to challenge Brock Obama at his gym.

Yes!

 

[Buzzman]

That's some balls on the dude.

 

[Hollycat]

He saved his masterball for the President, but blacked out before he could reach him.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Should have used the Max Repel.

 

[mclem]

He was just trying to walk through the long grass!

 

[Abounder]

Limited Obamamon 9/11 Edition. Instead of pokemon there's the secret service instead.

 

[Hollycat]

Should have used the Max Repel.

This one got me

 

[RedShift]

They'll probably put him on the no fly list

Spoiler

and confiscate HM02.

 

[richardhawk]

No Chris-Chan joke yet?

SECRET SERVICE uses TAKE DOWN.

[Amalthea]

Kinda wish he wore Sonic stuff.

 

[Fari]

Ron Paul would have made Pokemon real.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Geoff reported.

 

[Village]

Kinda wish he wore Sonic stuff.

They wouldn't have been able to catch him

 

[Wyndstryker]

He should've been wearing full Ash/Red attire.

 

[Amalthea]

They wouldn't have been able to catch him

Obama chuckled: "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?"

 

[Jb]

What gun is that? A G36?

 

[hunnies28]

He could've just digged his way out to the nearest pokemon center.

 

[DarkKyo]

Good thing too, seeing as how they almost had to switch to Houndoom.

 

[Icefire1424]

I really want to know what this guy was trying to accomplish by breaking into the White House decked out in Pokemon gear in the first place. Something doesn't exactly sound "right" in all this...

Smash Bros. Release Day in Japan.

The hype overwhelmed him.

 

[Alienous]

[Stumpokapow]

It's about ethics in gaming journalism, and I think it's really telling that Barack Obama is silent while Big Indie censors the gaming press. If ISIS can get a primetime speech, why not an issue of REAL significance to Americans?

 

[Gawge]

The White House should really be above the ledge, not below it.

The twist is that he was being controlled by twitch, thankfully the secret service has set him permanently to democracy mode.

 

[Chariot]

And people always yell at Bronies and Sonicfans. At least they don't attack the White House.

 

[psylah]

What gun is that? A G36?

I think standard issue for the Secret Service is an MP5, but that doesn't quite look like one.

[Squalor]

He just wanted to be the very best

Presidénts, (gotta catch 'em alll)
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Presidénts, oh, you're my best friend
In a world me must command

 

[JordanN]

Viral marketing for the new Ruby/Sapphire remakes.

 

[The Elite]

 

[Mr-Joker]

... I have no comment on this matter. -_-

I can't help but feel that if the kid wasn't white, this would be a completely different story.

 

[Divvy]

Viral marketting for ORAS

 

[toxicgonzo]

He just wanted to be the very best

He knew to prepare for trouble

 

[Xis]

It was Joe Biden

Good one.

On Barack's lawn?

That would be interesting.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

He was likely told that if he went to the door that Mew would appear.

 

[RedShift]

Dude on the left must be confused, he's facing the wrong way.

 

[Kayhan]

Ash was just trying to find his father.
