Retired special forces, swat team members, FBI,Secret Service, DEA are making big money guarding the liberal elite wherever they go and where they live. Google, Facebook, Twitter and Disney executives are particularly paranoid.

Asking why didn’t the security officer arrest them or keep them in a custodial hold until the police arrived, always 5 minutes too late?
