Hostages Taken at Clinton NH Campaign HQ
Nov 30, 2007 Political
A man claiming to have a bomb strapped to him has taken control of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters in New Hampshire. He has an unknown number of volunteers as hostages but has released a woman with a baby. The person is demanding to speak to Hillary Clinton who is in DC. She was scheduled to speak at the DNC Fall meeting but canceled her appearance.
I don’t know what this person hopes to accomplish but no matter how this ends it will not have a good outcome for him. We can only pray that the innocent people working there are not harmed.
There has been speculation that it is someone from the Free State Project but that is unlikely since those folks are usually pacifists. Perhaps it is a member of the media who is tired of the problems in accessing the candidate.
Maybe the guy is a Clinton plant in order to gin up sympathy and show she is a target because of her “experience.”
In any event, I pray the folks there are released unharmed and this guy gets the help he needs from behind jail cell bars.
UPDATE: The hostages have been released and the suspect is believed to be a local resident with mental health issues.
UPDATE 2: All of Clinton’s campaign offices in Iowa have been closed.
