[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha. OP here. If I posted the person’s name, I think there would be a slightly different reaction. I’m actually not a lefty, more moderate. And I live in one of the cheapest, tiniest houses in the neighborhood, not a McMansion. We have had other people here with Secret Service details in the past. Big difference was they were generally friendly neighbors who actually spoke to all of us. This person doesn’t speak to anyone and seems creepier in person than on TV. I am seeing 3-4 Secret Service vehicles and probably more elsewhere. It seems like more than I saw with other people who were more senior. I wish the neighbor would engage a bit more so we could have a general idea of if there is heightened risk or if this is just how it will be for the next four years.

I like the idea of the Hate has No Home. Might have to get a bunch of pride flags, too.[/quote]

You seem overly aggressive, even though it's not in your best interest to act this way. This person knows he's reviled. He doesn't talk to you for a reason - he's probably made up his mind that DC is a swamp of communism and corruption. Don't make it more obvious with signs, that's just provocation, and a target if a band of his supporters visits him.

Separately, what the heck do you think you can learn from him face-to-face that you can't figure out online?!?!?! If he's reviled, you know someone is going try something at some point. He won't be able to tell you more than that! At this point he may not know himself whether specific threats have been made or not, and even if they have been, that doesn't necessarily translate to immediate risk on your neighborhood. The detail is standard for certain figures that have garnered negative attention, that's all. You should educate yourself on threats and security services - it's a complex field, and there is not certainty, just protocols.

It's almost as if you're looking for a confrontation here. Do NOT bother this person. They may or may not be evil, but right now they're probably pretty stressed out with the transition, and stress leads to aggression. Don't be stupid. The protective detail is working in your favor here - while they're in your street, people will think twice about attacking this guy, and you won't become collateral damage. Get it?

Sheesh.

So now putting up pride flags makes a person “overly aggressive”?[/quote]
