. I mean, can you imagine if that person had actually made it into the White House? It's crazy to think about how quickly law enforcement responded and how they were able to apprehend the driver without anyone getting hurt 
.
. I know we can't always anticipate these kinds of situations, but it's definitely interesting to speculate about what might have led someone to attempt a breach in the first place.
. The safety of those around the White House should always be the top priority – and it sounds like that's exactly where authorities are focusing their attention

Like, what was going through his mind?! Did he think he could just drive right in like it's a fast food joint? 
Anyway, gotta give props to those Secret Service agents who swooped in and stopped him ASAP 
.
. can't even be bothered 2 check if u r cleared before drivin onto the premises. think about all the ppl who actually have legit reasons 4 needin access, like tourists or staff... what happens 2 them? 
... like what if they had hurt someone or something? Authorities did do their job though by catching the person ASAP, that's gotta be super stressful for them 
but driving into a barrier just seems so... reckless? 
anyway i guess its good that the Secret Service was on top of it and got the driver quickly 
... good luck with that, buddy! The Secret Service is all about keeping things safe and secure, not giving out participation trophies for "trying your best".
? Seriously though, glad no one was hurt (apparently), but still, how did someone manage to slip past all that security? 
Anyway, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we get some more info about what went down. One thing for sure, though: security is always gonna be a big deal around the White House! 
. The West Wing is already under enough stress with politics and everything... no need for that extra added pressure
