A 61 year old chasing down an 18 year old? Must be in good shape.
If only Congress was as diligent with our money.

For a moment, I thought this was another Duncan Hunter story ;-)

I would have been nice if he could have carried a gun.

Frelinghuysen felt someone grab at his wallet Hey Congress, that's how we feel all the time.
Good for him for chasing the perp down, though.

Would have been, yeah.
Congressmen are priviledged from arrest too, so no downside.

People in NJ will not like hearing about this liberal Republican congressman acting in an illiberal way. He may be punished. In NJ politics “no good deed goes unpunished.”

Judging by the obesity rates of our kids these days, maybe not.

Sounds like the congressman may have committed a hate crime. Isn’t self defense illegal in DC?

My thoughts exactly. Maybe the thug couldn’t keep his pants up.

Perhaps true, but his family has been in politics forever. And I do mean forever. One Frelinghuysen signed the Declaration of Independence. A very long dynasty for them.

A taxpayer stealing from a politician? That’s a switch!

I didn't recall anyone by that name signing the Declaration Of Independence. I just looked up the signers on line to confirm. No one by that name is listed. Is Frelinghuysen a descendant of a signor by another name?

A taxpayer stealing from a politician? I like your sentiment, but in all fairness, I seriously doubt any of those punks were taxpayers.

THAT’S where I’d read that name before; turns out Rodney is Theodore’s great-great-great-nephew.

I didn't recall that either, so I went and checked. He's not there.
He didn't sign the Constitution either.
