[quote=Anonymous]Last month I visited a family member who’s a retired federal agent who sometimes got pulled into Secret Service duties when presidents or candidates visited his state. He told me a story of a time in the 70s when he was guarding a hallway to the President’s hotel suite and turned away a state political muckety-muck who wanted access but wasn’t on the approved list. After a brief disagreement, State Political Guy ultimately responded by punching Agent Family Member. (Who immediately arrested the guy for assaulting an officer. Apparently the incident even made the national news. I couldn’t believe I’d never heard the story till now.)

I found the story so weird, in a “who DOES that?” sense — who responds to someone just doing his job and enforcing important security rules by throwing a punch at him? There was alcohol involved and Political Guy was in a group of men, so there were all those dynamics. But still, I had to shrug it off as “Past decades were strange sometimes.”

Cut to yesterday, when this happened. And this time you can’t even blame alcohol or the 70s! I guess I just don’t understand some people’s choices, in ANY decade. [/quote]
