CORRECTION: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Barbra Streisand’s first name.
This made me chuckle.
Any chance this could be a political crime? So secret service agents carry anything a foreign actor might like?
My first thought was money. Secret service is in charge of uncovering counterfeit currency.
It just reads like a mugging to me.
That's the most likely.
Crime, boy I don't know.
In case you were wondering, that's when I decided to beat you.
In the future, if you're wondering: "Crime. Boy, I don't know," is when I decided to kick your ass.
That's it. Thanks for the correction.
LiberalGunNut™ here! This is interesting in a few ways.
Don't often carry, mainly in the boondocks and unfamiliar places/situations. I've often said that simply the act of carrying a deadly weapon heightens your situational awareness. You're looking for trouble to avoid. It truly changes the way you perceive your surroundings and the people in them. (The primary reason I carry is for 4-legged threats.)
I've also often stated that guns are not as great for self-defense as gun nuts would have us believe. (Lots to unpack there, not getting into that ATM.) Still, better than a sharp stick.
And here we are. A Secret Service agent, though not on duty, got mugged. And not any old agent, one attached to the Presidential detail! You would think such an agent would be the acme of situational awareness. And yet a gunman got the drop on them.
Very strange story, but of course we weren't there and will never get all of it.
That probably tops the worst people to try rob at gunpoint list.
