A Texas state Capitol employee who police said wanted to go in the building Friday before a rally by presidential candidate Barack Obama threw a bowl of egg salad at a U.S. Secret Service agent who denied her access, according to an arrest affidavit.
Tracy Firsching, 47, is charged with assault on a peace officer, a third-degree felony for which she faces up to 10 years in prison.
According to the affidavit, Firsching started to go around police barriers when she was stopped by Secret Service agent Brian Sanders, who told her that she could not go in the secured area without an escort.
The affidavit said Firsching told Sanders that, “You’re going to have to arrest me” and attempted to go past him. Sanders grabbed her by the arm to turn her around when she threw a plastic bowl of egg salad at him and struck him in the face with the bowl, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, Sanders received a scratch that was “red and visible from several feet away” during the incident.
Don’t get between a girl and her messiah!
This sounds rather severe for the crime, except in cases involving egg salad which oughta be life with no chance of parole.
Looks like Austin is really rolling with their “Keep Austim Weird” campaign.
People don’t use very good common sense sometimes. Crossing the Secret Service isn’t a very bright move.
Why did I know this was a NObomba cultist just by reading the headline?
In such an instance, “no habla engles” and you’ll be home in time for dinner.
Which he can parlay into early retirement, a political career and a bid for the Presidency.
Just like the Pharisees & law lovers who tried to deny access to Christ. Shameful!
Well it looks like they did
Maybe the SS officer egged her on?
If she is the same one who showed up in a google search, she is a self-employed chiropractic therapist.

Christ tried to get into the Osamabama Rally too?
Who knew?
Another Obama supporter that shows her true colors.

ANY assault on a Secret Service agent should draw a heck of a long sentence. If random PITAs are allowed to get away with a slap on the wrist for this sort of thing, they’ll be doing it constantly, diverting Secret Service officers’ attention away from serious threats to the people they’re protecting. It could easily be used as a strategy by serious threats. Incite a bunch of stupid college kids to engage in some “harmless civil disobedience” by doing things like this, distracting officers while the serious threat successfully proceeds with his/her plan, thanks to the help from the unwitting college kids.
Huh?
This officer did the job he is paid to do, and has sworn to do, and that makes him a Pharisee?
A law enforcement officer should be a "law lover". It's his job.
Your comparison between the civil law and the Pharisees' perverted interpretation of the Law of Moses is entirely baseless.
