Geez, are we so scared of Hillary that we'd rather see her blown up than defeated at the ballot box? I'm glad she's not there.

If this is true, then it's horrible and my heart goes out for the hostages. That being said, the first thing that crossed my mind was "this is a publicity stunt".

I guess we'll see...

Police said a man in his 40s, with salt-and-pepper hair, is in the building and has what appears to be an explosive device strapped to his body, TV station WMUR reported.

Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.

This is a Dem with a bomb, probably an anti-war Obama or Edwards supporter.

A conservative nutjob would have done his due diligence.

i interpreted that to mean an employee could have ended the situation real quick if the employee was armed.

I guess he could have "failed" - depends on your interpretation of what he said.

BOSTON -- An armed man took people hostage Friday at a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office in New Hampshire, police said.

The incident happened at about 1 p.m. Friday at 28 North Main St. in Rochester. Officials said that a man is holding people hostage at the office, but it is unclear how many people are being held.

There are several police officers positioned across the street from the office, crouched down behind cruisers with guns drawn, according to a reported at the scene.

Nearby businesses have been evacuated, and the St. Elizabeth Seaton School has been locked down.

Clinton, who is not in New Hampshire, is attending a National Democratic Committee meeting in Virginia.

NewsCenter 5 and TheBostonChannel.com will have more information when it becomes available.

Mmmm, going with the Columbine formation. Nice play.

Like comparing apples and oranges. One is a hostage situation with a person with an IED.

The other is an active shooter situation.

A perimeter and negotiators is the correct response.

Giving a Machiavellian interpretation:

The Hildabeast uses this to change her stance to Pro-Gun to catch the swing voters..." I now believe in the right to carry concealed firearms, subject to reasonable restrictions"

and also to increase funding to build up BATFE.

All the while knowing that (or ordering it directly) that this was set up to give her a good spin and gain votes. Once she is elected, the gun control stance comes back full force and she also has a HUGE BATFE to back up the executive orders she signs.

No sh*t... because rushing a guy with a bomb is such super tactics...

Contain-and-call-out is perfectly acceptable when there is a hostage situation, and the bad guy isn't actively whacking people.

BREAKING: Clinton to skip DNC due to hostage situation

DNC Chairman Howard Dean just announced Sen. Hillary Clinton won't speak here today because of the hostage crisis at her New Hampshire office.
"Details are sketchy," Dean told disappointed and gasping DNC members in Vienna. "Senator Clinton is now dealing with a very difficult problem ... We will keep them in our prayers."

For some reason, while watching the streaming video from the website linked by drudge, the thought of the Battle of Lexington crossed my mind.

Wow... I wonder how many people around the country are going to interpret this as a "call to arms"...

Probably not, but if it's not a mental guy with a bunch of hot dogs strapped to his chest, then what in the hell else would be the motivation behind this?

Can't bring myself to agree with this.

Suicide bombers don't usually take hostages. They usually go in and go off.

This isn't a standoff situation like in Beslan either - that was a whole team of terrorists. This is one guy.

Again, I doubt it's any kind of "terrorist" or "suicide bomber", and if it's not a psychopath who's off his meds, then I gotta wonder what the rationale was for doing this...

Yup.

On the other hand, he asked to speak to Hillary, so if he actually has a bomb, it's reasonable to think that his intention was to take her out. If that's the case, than at this point, realizing that he has failed, he is likely trying to get himself out of the situation.

On the flip side, if someone is clever enough to design and build an actual working suicide vest, he would probably be smart enough to actually attempt it when she is actually in the same state as himself.

So that points to someone who is unstable, angry, and just wants attention and an audience.
