If I were there and had a camera, I believe I would have taken pictures to publish. This doesn’t sound normal @ all. We saw President Bush in a motorcade after 9-11 and this wasn’t done. :/

Sounds like zerO arrived in your town in style- kind of like Zelaya re-entering Honduras.

No. I've never seen a heavily armed Secret Service with guns pointed at crowds lining the streets for a motorcade.
Why would the US Secret Service point weapons at women and children lining a street to watch a presidential motorcade. What thing would make them fire right at that crowd?

[thefactor]

what a ridiculous headline. these guys ride with their windows open and weapons at the ready. yes, those scary black guns being carried by guy in suits and sunglasses are scary...they are supposed to be.

and a large protest is supposed to put them at ease? please.

[dforest]

To everyone attending the protest in DC on September 12th. Be very careful and watch your backs.

If U.S. agents were pointing their guns at un-armed civilians in Bristol then the following four U.S. Senators need to hear about it and do something about it:

Senator Jim Webb
Senator Mark Warner
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN)

(Click the links to go to their contact pages). People from the area should contact their Representatives in the House also.

Good grief. They were pointing guns at people at the same time they were riding in moving vehicles?!? Unreal. Sounds like the Secret Service agents need to take gun safety training.

I was at a protest in north Dallas at the end of Clinton's second term with a few others (about 10) holding protest signs. SS car stopped in front of us, one agent got out, glanced us over, said howdy and asked us to please stay on the sidewalk, then they left. The motorcade came up, President Clinton's limo stopped right in front of us on the other side of the street. I could see directly into the limo, President Clinton was no more than 35 feet away.

Never saw a single drawn firearm from any of the agents or Dallas PD. Even the sniffer dog was nice.

Perhaps Dear Leader is a bit nervous among the peasants?

When you are working a security detail and have your weapon at the ready, inevitably someone is going to have a gun pointed in their direction. The real question is, Did they have the weapon on safe and their finger alongside the trigger well? And where are the damning pictures of the sordid affair?

You might want to take a look at this thread about how the Democrats are being treated (and are reacting to that treatment) at Town Hall meetings: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2305109/posts

Zero is both contemptuous of and AFRAID of ordinary American citizens; he knows he’s our enemy so he expects us to do to him what he wants to do to us. (Reverse Golden Rule.)

I saw VP Quayle in Princeton many years ago (while he was VP).

The SS did not reveal their guns at all. They kept them in small duffel bags.

I'm not surprised that Obammie the Commie instructs his protection to actually aim their guns at the people.

He is a fascist.

And fascism exploits violence and the threat of violence to instill fear.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And, of course, we know now, that Obammie the Commie is little more than King of the gangstas.

What is the demographic make-up of the Obama Secret Service Security Detachment?

[McGruff]

Well there could be all kind of threats on the way.

A man holds a sign as President Barack Obama's
motorcade heads to a town hall on health care reform, Wednesday, July 29, 2009, near a supermarket in Bristol, Va

Could have been an assault poster.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Are there pictures? we need to know more about what goes on in the “minds” of the president and his minions. Do they so hate, fear and mistrust the public that they are ready to shoot them?
Are they expecting disturbances in the streets and are they planning to mow normal people down?

[Popman]

If you blow up the photo (400x), the lead SUV looks like there is a firearm pointed out the window from the backseat. I will admit it is hard to tell. but something breaks the line of the front door jam and looks like a hand handing the front end of a rifle.

Anybody else have the software to clean up the image

[verity]

Can you be that naive if you live in NJ? :-)

[NMEwithin]

Spoke with a friend who is in the technical security division of the Secret Service and he said this is not the standard protocol for motorcade protection details. I am going to send him more info so he has more details...

[wtc911]

I've seen the uzis in the windows and tailgate windows of the black SUVs that the Secret Service uses more than a few times. I saw it when Clinton was POTUS, when Bush was POTUS and I am not surprised at all that they continue the practice.

I think this is mountain-molehill time.

[RaceBannon]

WOW
