red Volkswagon Beetle????????
I can only shake my head.
For his sake, I hope that he stole the vehicle...and only out of pure desperation.

Polish firing squad anyone? :munchin (With appropriate apologies to any of our Polish members. :p) I didn't bother checking to see how this resolved; though I am glad it was such a slow news day that this idiocy rated national coverage. Something to distract the sheeple from politics.

I got all excited when I saw the robot move in but then I noticed they didn't have the shotgun attached and lost interest.

LOS ANGELES (Map, News) -
A man suspected of making threats against the White House was pulled from his car Thursday after an hours-long standoff in the parking lot of the Federal Building in West Los Angeles.
The man had refused to leave his red Volkswagen Beetle and withstood four rounds of chemical agents tossed inside the car after police broke a rear window. About an hour later, officers shot out the drivers window with a bean bag gun, used a Taser on the man and pulled him out.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan identified the suspect as Joseph Moshe, 56, of Los Angeles. Moshe is suspected of calling a police dispatch number Wednesday and making threatening statements about the White House, Donovan said.
Police pulled him from the car after he ignored repeated attempts to negotiate his surrender
The Federal Building had been locked down since noon, and employees were told to stay inside, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
Officers spotted Moshe's car around 10 a.m. near his home in the Westchester neighborhood and pursued him through the city's west side, police Det. Gus Villanueva said.
He drove around the federal building parking area once before a police SUV blocked his path as he tried to return to the street. Officers then surrounded his car with police cruisers and a large armored vehicle.
The man sat in the car smoking for hours before a robot broke a rear window of the car so officers could see inside, police Lt. Ruben de la Torre said.
Police did not know if the man was armed, he said.
Villanueva said Moshe was booked on two previous unrelated misdemeanor warrants but did not provide details. Officials later said he was taken to a hospital for observation.
Asked how the man was able to withstand multiple rounds of what appeared to be tear gas, Villanueva said some people are able to resist the chemicals.
"I can't explain that, there's no way to explain that," he said.
