On the surface this seems like a joke, but there are some very serious and sad details surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The story was reported by a number of news outlets <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2016\/01\/08\/man-arrested-for-alleged-plot-to-kidnap-obamas-dog.html\" target=\"_blank\">including Fox News<\/a>, where the gist of the story said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A search of [Scott] Stockert\u2019s car revealed a 12-gauge pump shotgun and pistol grip, and a black bolt action rifle, neither of which were registered. Officers also found more than 300 rounds of ammunition, a machete and a billy club. He was arrested and charged with illegally carrying a rifle or shotgun outside a home or business.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stockert also said his parents were John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and that he was on his way to the Capitol to try and get $99 per month health care and announce his intention to run for president. Later, he said he was Jesus Christ.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Clearly this is a sick individual who needs professional care. He certainly is not someone who should have had access to the weapons that were found. And while it may be tempting to laugh at the Savior spawn of Kennedy and Monroe, he could have done some serious damage and hurt innocent people or police.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s really sad, however, is that the readers of the Fox News website may be even sicker than the would-be dognapper. Responding to the story was a flurry of offensive remarks directed at the President and his family. They ran the gamut from being insulting (including to the Obama&#8217;s children) to outright fantasies of assassination.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/posts\/1241804495834343\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Advs\/fb-share-tn.jpg\" width=\"274\" height=\"20\" class=\"aligncenter\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-comments-dognapper.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News Comments\" width=\"550\" height=\"710\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30594\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These comments are fairly typical of the Fox News community.
