A flag-waving gunman closes down traffic in Santa Barbara, California for hours…
…until he’s allowed to carry out his demand:
A masked gunman waving an American flag and a handgun on a freeway overpass surrendered to police Monday after forcing a traffic shutdown for hours.
The man gave himself up at midmorning west of downtown Santa Barbara at Highway 101, a major route along the California coast. No shots were fired. Traffic was backed at least three miles in each direction.
The man agreed to give up after he was allowed to attach a Barack Obama campaign sign and the flag to the overpass railing, said police Sgt. Jim Pfleging.
Audacious, indeed.
So I guess this means Peevee won’t be available to mock for awhile, eh?
Is it me, or is the headline vague? I mean, if this were a supporter of Barr or McCain, wouldn’t we know right out of the gate?
