LOL - Mannequin in Obama mask hung from Missouri bridge

[Ares]

KANSAS CITY Mo. (Reuters) - A fully clothed mannequin wearing a President Barack Obama mask was discovered hanging by a rope from a highway overpass in the Kansas City area on Monday, police said.

Interstate 70 was closed down briefly while a bomb squad investigated because sheriff's deputies saw a suspicious device attached to the mannequin, said Sergeant Ronda Montgomery of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.

No explosives were found on the mannequin, which was discovered on a bridge about 25 miles (40 km) east of Kansas City, Montgomery said. The mannequin was reported to the authorities around daybreak and it is unclear how long it had been hanging from the structure, she said.

A rope was used to string up the mannequin but authorities were not releasing specific details, Montgomery said, adding that the incident was still under investigation.

“We are trying to put pieces of the puzzle together, but it's early,” Montgomery said.

Authorities are now working to determine if the dummy was a legitimate threat against the president.

The 911 calls came in at 5:30AM so it's doubtful few if any were able to capture the image in good enough light before it was taken down.

I hope this goes viral and we start seeing mannequins strung up in cities all across the country.

From the article:

Deputies said they are not releasing images of the effigy or the 911 calls. The investigation is continuing.
The Secret Service will determine whether any crimes occurred. Because of free speech protections, some have not been charged with a crime when an Obama effigy has been hung in other cases across the nation. However, charges were filed when items were allegedly taken for the creation of an effigy.
Sharp stressed that he would have called in the Independence Police Department's bomb squad as a precaution no matter what type of dummy was hanging whether it was Santa Claus or Captain Kangaroo.

Interesting that he'd chose a fictional character and a person posing as a character - both without legitimate birth certificates, not unlike Barry S.

He's implying here that he considers all three characters 'dummies'.

Maybe Independence Police Department is more than just an ironic name for a law enforcement agency

Someone will surely hang for this one.

Whoever hung this up should have included a note ON the mannequin which says.
Hey Stupids, no bomb here. Now, go home you losers and ........(use your imagination)
