There are dumb people everywhere. That lady, she tried to play a yoke, and lost. Bummer.

I do believe the poster’s tongue was planted firmly in cheek. :)

Sorry, I thought the sarcasm would be obvious enough without the tag.

[TChris]

Sorry. The batteries in my sarcasm detector died this morning. :-/

[Allegra]

This officer did the job he is paid to do, and has sworn to do, and that makes him a Pharisee?

Psssst....I think Reagan79 was having a little fun...

[Hegemony Cricket]

The potential sentence would be somewhat stiffer, except that egg salad doesn’t become really deadly until it hits the digestive tract...

[vetvetdoug]

I don’t think the Secret Service agents get a preference as to who they are to protect and serve. If there were to be choosing by the Secret Service, from what I gather Hillary would be going it alone.

You should check the batteries in your beeber just to be safe.
One can never be too careful...

In the Dem convention riots of 1968, most of the rioters were "useful idiots." There were some plants who ensured a violent confrontation with the Chicago police department, and then strategically withdrew to let the idiot college students take the beatings.

You're correct. The "harmless" disobedience is the beard for the more violent and dangerous actions.

[meandog]

This sounds rather severe for the crime, except in cases involving egg salad which oughta be life with no chance of parole.

Yup, and if she's convicted I guess the "yolk" will be on her instead of him.

[Reagan79]

Those oysters on your profile page look good. Nice! You ever have crawfish?

[Arkansas Toothpick]

I guess he’s really going to have egg on his face this time around.

[MD_Willington_1976]

Lucky she didn’t get shot... stupid should hurt!

[Constitution Day]

I live in NC so crawdads are a little tougher to come by here than say, Louisiana.
But I’ve had ‘em and I do love ‘em!

The oysters were from off Chincoteague Island, VA. They were just amazing.

received a scratch that was “red and visible from several feet away”

Not to mention his dry-cleaning bill!

I'd say ten years is not nearly enough punishment.

[Wurlitzer]

"ANY assault on a Secret Service agent should draw a heck of a long sentence."

But we sure did not see such a sentence give to a certain double minority type person who shoved a cell phone into the chest of LEO in Washington DC did we?

I wonder which of the minority cards kept her out of jail.

All that being said, people in government seem to be in a different class than the rest of us. I had a run in with a US Senator's security thug once when he tried to prevent me from entering a hotel elevator. I told the JBT that the Senator was just a public servant and pushed my way past him and took the elevator to my floor along with the JBT. He looked like a deer in the headlights that a peon like me would dare question the ruling class.

"In such an instance, “no habla engles” and you’ll be home in time for dinner."

Yup, with a free taxi ride, a bucket of KFC, and a coupon for a car wash.

[fish hawk]

Get the pink bunny.

Maybe the SS officer egged her on?

She was charged with assault, pepper, and salad dressing...
