Above the law: Secret Service agents get caught picking the lock of a local business to use the facilities and snack on the candy

What does a “progressive” government think of private property rights? Well, they’re just temporary privileges granted by the all-powerful state which can be tread on and revoked at discretion.

Immediately after Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket after a successful coup—Biden’s first interview since the switcheroo, which aired yesterday, described being pushed out by colleagues—she held a fundraiser in Massachusetts, during which time Secret Service agents allegedly broke into a nearby business, a small local hair salon, so they could have access to private bathroom facilities. Porta potties are just so below their station, and of course planning ahead with private mobile bathrooms would have required competent preparation, something we all know the Secret Service seriously lacks, from the top tiers of leadership to agents on the ground.

Agents reportedly kept the door open all day allowing other “haves” to use the business’s restroom, snacked on the candy by the reception desk intended for salon customers, and when they were done, left the doors unlocked and camera lenses covered by tape.

Here’s the story, from a report at Business Insider:

Secret Service agents taped over a security camera and broke into a Massachusetts hair salon while securing the area for a Kamala Harris campaign event, according to the salon’s owner.

‘There were several people in and out for about an hour-and-a-half — just using my bathroom, the alarms going off, using my counter, with no permission,’ [business owner] Powers said.

‘And then when they were done using the bathroom for two hours, they left, and left my building completely unlocked, and did not take the tape off the camera,’ she continued.

It’s just so damn idiotic. How stupid do you have to be to look right in the lens as you tape it over?

With DEI hires they can be low IQ, no problemo. I can't tell if this agent is a woman or a man. Man haircut, earrings, woman or effeminate man facial features.

With bad leadership the bad actors below the leaders feel emboldened.

Why aren’t people more angry about this? What have we become?

And they’re going to fix it with a chat?
“Powers said he also offered to visit and apologize in person over a cup of coffee.”
Where he can casually mention that a background check of her, and an audit, have uncovered multiple petty crimes that he can make go away...if she’s a good sport.

Let’s hope she knows that accepting even a nickel from the responsible party could be interpreted by a court as restitution in full.

That agent in the photo needs to be sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial for breaking and entering.

The Secret Service agent guarding the door should be indicted as well—as a part of the criminal gang.

The article says the Secret Service offered to pay to have the salon cleaned and to pay the security service (alarm company) for the day. TAX PAYER DOLLARS, RIGHT?

What they did is illegal - treat them like American citizens doing something illegal.
