Yes, and mimes are suspected terrorists — arrest them all now, please!
: A couple of “performance artists” were arrested at the Capitol:

Reena Patel, 22 and Ilelabayo David Olaniyi, 32 were arrested in Washington D.C. in March in front of the Capitol building on suspicion of being suicide bombers.

The affidavit from the Capitol police says Patel was “wearing a gray waist band which resembled an explosive device.” It also says Olaniyi stood up “revealing what appeared to be gray harness strapped to his upper body.”

Performance artists are dorks.

    I would have found it hard to criticize the Capitol police if they had just gunned these two down as a precautionary measure.
    I guarantee you that the cops will be criticized for insufficient vigilance when a suicide bomber goes off in Washington (and it will happen).

    Yeah –
    in the classic definition:
    “Performance art” :
    “The talentless doing the meaningless in front of the clueless”.
    THIS is what the “War on Terror” has come to?
    God Help America!!”
