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.
Part of the difficulty is that there are some FReepers who would post just such a comment, with no sarcasm intended. It has become quite challenging to discern without knowing the poster. :-(
Perhaps a personal policy of "it's sarcasm until proven otherwise" would be prudent.
She really got herself into a pickle this time. I wouldn’t relish her predicament. I hope her celery was adequate to post bail. She got eggactly what she served.
If it was Miracle Whip, death by dismemberment.
Hold the mayo!
Groan . . .
She going to a dinner on the grounds?
dude - huge Dr. Ralph BUMP..!
Eggcellent!
Did you see the earlier thread where an argument between two brothers-in-law suporting Obama and Hillary! respectively ended in a fight, with one stabbing the other? One’s in jail, the other in critical condition at the hospital.

Sixteen stitches put him right and the Judge said, "Don't say he didn't warn yer." Tracy got sentenced to ten in the slammer, servin time in California.
Methinks Obamessiah gets this gal overly eggcited.
Years ago, I was at an event where the U.S. Secret Service was providing protection for Corazon Aquino when she was president of the Philippines. People who wanted to listen to her speak had to have tickets for the event, and had to walk through a magnetometer.
A guy who looked like a college student with his girlfriend walked through the magnetometer, then said to her, “Well, they missed the gun I’m carrying.” He wasn’t carrying a gun, but I guess he thought it would be funny to say something like this to his girlfriend.
Secret Service personnel swarmed this idiot, slammed him into a wall, searched him, tore up his ticket, and threw him out.
Use an Egg, Go To Jail. Zero Tolerance.
OTOH, she’s toast.
Hey Doug, maybe something you can build upon. Maybe not for this incident but certainly Obama has the Tommy thing going. I can’t choose between Hill or Bill for Uncle Ernie, though.
Now throw ‘the book’ at her
Sorry. The batteries in my sarcasm detector died this morning. :-/
So now who has egg on his face?
