“As a lifetime frequent visitor of DC, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen black-clad snipers pop up out of nowhere, silhouetted against the White House or staged along the roof tops of the White House complex.”
And they’re just the ones you see.
No telling how many armed badasses are on the White House grounds at any given time.
Not a place to try your luck.
Good point. One time I was standing on a curb freeping Code Pink on the other side of the street, when a police officer approached me and asked if I had just had an x-ray. I asked him why (I had) and he said I had made his radiation meter go off.
DC! Unlike any other place.
I guess I'm lucky he didn't throw me to the ground.
