ROCHESTER, N.H. -- An armed man has taken people hostage at the Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, police said.
It was not clear how many hostages there were or what weapons the man has. Police have set up a command post near the office on 28 North Main St.
Witness Lettie Tzizik said that she spoke to a woman shortly after she was released from the office by the hostage-taker.
"A young woman with a 6-month or 8-mont-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, 'You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape."

So how much money is he offering us to spare their lives? Millions, I hope.

I don't believe it. You mean to tell me no one in the Clinton campaign office was armed and able to put an end to this right quick?

Ohh wait guns are bad remember, no one should EVER need a gun for any reason. Just ask all the hostages with that wacko with a bomb.(this was all sarcasm) Tards. If this happened in ron pauls campaign office they would have had a couple dozen holes in him as he was opening his jacket.

Give us some credit. I think we'd be smart enough to realize that they were road flares duct taped to his chest and just give him a good ass whooping.

In that situation I would have performed an immediate NSR into his chest - no hesitation, no questions asked.

Sorry, that "bomb" shit don't fly with me.

same here, its not worth the risk of being wrong. A would be suicide bomber is about the only thing that would make me shoot first and ask questions later.

NSR?

You'd think they'd have armed security though.

NSR = Non Standard Response, i.e. a burst of rounds into the upper thoracic of the threat.

Standard Response = 2 shots upper thoracic; assess.

Technical talk aside, somebody says that they have a bomb, it's time to kill them.
