EXCLUSIVE: Biden's Security Team Squared Off in Nantucket Melee

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. – Getting into a barroom fight with the men who guard Vice President Joe Biden would likely get someone locked up -- unless the brawlers also happen to be on the very same security team.
That's just what happened in a bloody, booze-fueled brawl that spilled out of Nantucket’s Rose and Crown nightclub while Biden and his family were spending last Thanksgiving on the island, according to police logs, notes and reports obtained by FoxNews.com. It was one of at least two fights police in and around Martha’s Vineyard have investigated involving Secret Service agents and other members of President Obama's and Biden’s security details in the last year as the leaders and their families vacationed nearby.
The fight, which a police report said “caused visible damage to both parties,” pitted Jonathan Dawes, a hulking, 217-pound Secret Service agent, and Eric “Bomb Squad” Gahagan, a Massachusetts State Police bomb technician assigned to Biden, against three Air Force officers who had just been assigned to the same detail. The airmen, who suffered black eyes, head contusions and a chipped tooth, thought their assailants were local cops. Gahagan and Dawes knew the airmen were part of the Biden detail.
A bouncer told cops “the incident bothered him because Gahagan and Dawes were both considerably bigger than the men they attacked,” the eight-page police report stated. “He said he felt that Gahagan and Dawes were acting like bullies.”

..should have sent the Marines!
You know, I once knew a man from Nantucket ...
The new diverse Secret Service —niiiiiice....!
Really?
Romney better hire a private security team until the Secret Service can be cleaned up. It must be difficult for these guys to work for the Obama Administration, but alcohol and whores aren’t the way to deal with the problem.
Tastes great!
Less filling!
( brawl )
WTF. Looks like the praetorian guard is out of control
Yeah but. The pics at the link shows two Caucasian Americans.
These guys sound like they watch way TOOOOO much TV!
Apparently the hookers there are not as good as the ones in Columbia.
This administration is scum, top to bottom, apparently.

Sounds like a bit of initiation; rookie hazing.
What a disgrace. The Secret Service used to be viewed at an honor and a dream position for the elite. Today, it’s a reflection of the administration - scum.
"Not me, I had to watch her fat ass last week, You take her."
If this is how these juvenile thugs behave toward one another, it doesn’t require much imagination to know how a poor “civilian” would be treated.
The aggressors in this NEED TO BE CASHIERED and their firing offense records should display the reason so some unsuspecting local PD doesn’t provide them a target-rich environment.
Oh, wait! Chicago and DC would hire them in a Nantucket minute.
I’ve advised ALL the males in this family that if they find themselves in a bar where off-duty cops gather, LEAVE: They’re armed, probably DRUNK and they’re ALWAYS RIGHT!
Exit question, does anyone here think these guys are up to using their bodies as shields like the SS did for Reagan?
I never knew that feller from Nantucket but I sure have heard a lot about him.
Wow, so VERY cosmopolitan. Another uplifting vignette seeping out of the rotting corpse of this (mis)administration.
