Clinton Hostage Situation



This is Leeland Eisenberg, the man that took 5 people hostage in the Clinton campaign office in New Hampshire yesterday. He said he had a bomb strapped to his body, when really, he had road flares! They say that he wanted to talk to Senator Clinton about helping him get mental health care. He had a hostage call CNN, and demand to talk to Clinton. By 6pm the last of the 5 hostages, which one was an infant by the way, was let free. No one was hurt, and Eisenberg surrendered peacefully.

This man sought out for attention in a very wrong way!! Write a letter dude! Did he expect Hillary to do something right then and there?? Hmm...I always wonder what runs through these people's head...but then again he needed mental help.

In a way this situation frightens me, because I hope to one day work in a campaign office too. And there are crazy people like this, that dont agree with what politicians say, and will do whatever it takes for the attention.

Here is what Hillary Clinton had to say in a press conference after the whole ordeal.

I'm just glad no one was hurt. This is a very disturbed man; to seek attention in such a deperate way!
