A Pennsylvania man drove his car into a metal gate at the FBI building in Pittsburgh early on Wednesday, a ramming that federal law enforcement officials described as intentional, saying the man was being sought as a suspect.

Donald Henson, of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, allegedly drove at a high rate of speed toward the main entrance gate at about 2:40 a.m., FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Giordano said during a press briefing.

The FBI has announced its intent to prosecute this act as a gate crime.

Terrorism is meant to strike terror into the hearts of civilians.

I don't think crashing a car into an FBI building is putting any fear into the average citizen. And I belive Governments are SUPPOSED to be afraid of their population.

Corrected title and article:

Fascist FBI rammed victim into a building

A Pennsylvania resident was driven into a gate of an FBI building at Pittsburgh, past Wednesday. Federal cops claim this is intentional, although they give no evidence.


If ACABs can use the passive voice, then so can we.

What if the gate just did that?

The gate was coming right at him, it was self defense

No, de fense was de part next to de gate.

I read the article and couldn't make much sense of it. I got, guy drove into gate at 2:40am (which makes me think drunk) pulls a flag out of his trunk, places the flag on the gate and leaves.

Apparently he tried to make a report last week and they claim they couldn't make sense of what he was saying so there was nothing to create anything off of.

"He's a pedophile!"

"Pssst, no, the other one."

"Oh, right. He's a TERRORIST! That's what I meant. I mean, he might be a pedophile, too, we haven't 'inspected' his computer yet. But, he's definitely a terrorist. I mean, the gate guard was terrorized, that's for sure. He was really shook up."

Shits going to keep getting worse...

More and more people can't afford to survive everyday, and we keep losing our rights.

Some people might just crawl in a corner and die, but the entirety of evolution back to when we were single celled organisms is going to scream at people to do anything to survive.

And because of the normal effects resource scarcity has on the human brain, they're gonna be doing really stupid short-sighted shit.
