Ashwak Saleh was arrested outside the White House today for wielding a 13″ machete on the sidewalk. Her response when asked to drop the knife was “What are you going to do — shoot me?”
Why yes, Ashwak, that’s exactly what they were going to do if you didn’t drop the giant fucking knife. Did you expect them to give you a lollipop instead? Seriously, how deranged do you have to be to show up to a gunfight with a knife? You know what this town needs? More knife control.
