White House Fence Jumper Dominic Adesanya Mentally Ill, Father Says by Titilayodeji13(m): 7:08pm On Oct 23, 2014
The father of Dominic Adesanya, a 23-
year-old man who jumped the White
House fence Wednesday night, said his
son was mentally ill and had been
previously arrested at the White House
gate. Adesanya was hospitalized with dog
bite wounds on his arms, back, chest and
knee, a Secret Service official NBC.
Adesanya’s father, who declined to give
his name, said his son suffers from
paranoia and heard voices. He said his son
was “fussing at the people” and wanted to
talk to President Barack Obama about his
situation. “It’s been hard. It’s hard to be in
your house and not know if the person
you’re living with is trustworthy and to
know they’re mentally disturbed like he
is,” his father said. He said the family had
sought help from the government for
Adesanya’s illnesses but “nobody has
wanted to help us get help for him.”
Adesanya was unarmed when he was
subdued by two police dogs on the White
House lawn on Wednesday. He kicked and
punched the two dogs, Hurricane and
Jordan, who were treated for minor
bruises and cleared to return to work at
the White House. He was charged with
two counts of felony assault on a police
officer, one felony count of making threats
and four misdemeanor counts of resisting
and unlawful entry.
Adesanyo’s actions came hours after a
man went on a shooting spree at Canada’s
Parliament Hill complex in Ottawa. That
man, 32-year-old Michael Zehaf-Bibeau,
shot and killed an honor guard at Canada’s
National War Memorial at point-blank
range before making his way inside the
Parliament building across the street. He
was shot and killed by Kevin Vickers, the
ceremonial sergeant-at-arms at the
building. Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper deemed it a terrorist
attack.
Last month, Omar Gonzalez was able to
hop the White House fence and make it
into the White House with a knife before
being subdued by Secret Service
personnel. He faces weapons charges. The
incident led to the resignation of Secret
Service Director Julia Pierson.

What's with minorities jumping the white house gate nowadays? There must be some unknown issue they want to let him know.
