The son of Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts was robbed at gunpoint Sunday night near his family home, according to a police report.
Roscoe Ricketts, 19, was walking near Underwood Avenue and Fairacres Road when he was mugged by someone at gunpoint about 9 p.m., he later told police.

Roscoe looks like Harry Potter. Roscoe needs to carry a concealed Roscoe.
Then have them Duke boys cuffed and stuffed.
He looks like you could rob him with a pointed finger.
Too lazy to look it up
I see the State Police endorse his Democrat challenger this time around. Not having too much luck lately it sounds like.
Republican
seems to be going around

Some vitamin D would help
Has Roscoe expressed sympathy for the perp yet?
He and his dad seem to like the Village People....
Maybe he was walking home from the Y.M.C.A.
The mayor of Omaha is also a Republican, and it looks like a good neighborhood, too.
Welcome to the Turd World - even in Nebraska
Gov. Ricketts is a Conservative Republican with a great track record. State Patrol Union is against him because he forced them to clean up their internal investigations. He got rid of the good ol boy network at the higher ups in the SP.
He is a Trump supporter, a long time Nebraskan and just a good man.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the guy running against Ricketts said that the first thing he would do is cut the security team for the Governor and his family. He said Ricketts was spending too much. Nothing ever happens in Nebraska anyway.
Had hoped to not live long enough to see a Doogie Howser redux...
“Maybe he was walking home from the Y.M.C.A.”
From the article” “I think it was a random event,” Ricketts said. “I don’t think there was any sort of targeting. It was unfortunate. My son was out running at night and got mugged.”
I know its tough for a teenager, but maybe he should do morning runs.
I asked my question because,obviously,if he had been a Rat one could ask what he thought about things like abolishing ICE,closing down prisons and state sponsored "shooting galleries" for junkies now that *his* family's been affected by crime.
