I am not against making such people “disappear.”

HANG, DRAW, AND QUARTER THESE THEIVES, ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN!

GMTA. The Judge Judy Junior wannabes aren’t going to do anything. Ever. They are as worthless as **** on a bull.

She’s protected by Secret Service. They were lax enough that a masked man could approach her, steal her purse and get away.

Lucky he was only wanting to steal.

“Noem had two, plain-clothes Secret Service members watching Noem and her family from the nearby bar in the restaurant.”

Glad they were so competent.

“Judge Judy Junior” would probably rule that they must release the thief and the purse a case of “finder keeper”.

I’m okay with that... as long as they extract whatever information can be had from them, by any means necessary. Then they can receive the helicopter dump treatment.

They’re secret service, so putting on this sort of “competence clinic” is to be expected from them.

The article does not mention that the perp is in the country illegally. Yes he is an illegal.

Their past is, they were probably trying to pick up bar flies.

Harsh public consequences have more deterrence (the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences).

[LegendHasIt]

“Second Suspect” is probably his FBI or CIA handler.

Hung in a public square to the death

They can figure this out, this quickly, but still no Epstein files.

Big surprise...the thief is apparently an illegal alien:

“It was kind of shocking, actually, because it was sitting right by my feet. [...] It tells me that this happens all the time to people, and that they live in communities where this is a danger and it reaffirms why I’m here.”

The rest of us knew it happens all the time, so we take reasonable precautions.

I'm only shocked that the Head of DHS didn't know or take any precautions at all.

She put everything in her Gucci bag - $3,000 in cash, her passport, her apartment keys, her driver's license, and her DHS badge.

Then, she brought that purse to a restaurant and put it under the table.

I would feel sorry for a regular person who was robbed that way, but the Head of DHS should know better.

Yes, the SS dropped the ball. Let's hope the second thief is caught, too.

But the person in charge of Homeland Security should be more cautious.

[nuconvert]

The Secret Service agents didn’t find it suspicious or worth their added attention that a masked man was just a couple of feet away from her and her family?

[Bonemaker]

They were at the bar drunk.
