HolyMoly .. that is scary. Lord, protect them,
thank God for the SS. And you’re right, but you
can bet they’ll have private security after that
for the rest of their lives.

Person held near Dallas home of former President George W. Bush
###
Authorities detained a person near the home of former President George W. Bush on Wednesday night after an incident in his Dallas-area neighborhood, a U.S. Secret Service spokesman said.
The person who was detained was coming to visit a neighbor of the former president, according to Ed Donovan of the Secret Service. The person was authorized to come onto the street, Donovan said.

The suspect, accused of driving a muscle car ‘erratically’ onto the lawn, was being questioned by the Secret Service.
The former president and former first lady live in a home in the suburban gated community.
The male suspect had not made any threats, and officials do not believe he intended to harm the couple.
Officials told a local TV station that the suspect went to a friend’s house in the Bush neighborhood to show off his Plymouth Barracuda.
The man allegedly told investigators he ran onto the Bushes’ yard when his gas pedal became stuck.
Very scary that someone can get that close to the president’s
home. I HOPE that it was just an unfortunate accident and
very glad that no one was injured!
Beautiful Christmas message, dearest STAR, and thank goodness it really was an accident by the man legitimately in President Bush’s neighborhood to see a friend.
“...you can bet they’ll have private security after that

Yes, I’m sure they will have private security. It just galls me, though, that Clinton (who signed that law), Hillary, Chelsea, Al Gore, his family, and who knows who else, will get Secret Security protection for years/life at our expense. Yet, George Bush has to pay for his. Don’t remember when, or IF, the Clinton administration’s SS protection runs out.
It’s not funny really, but “Officials on the scene requested an ambulance for the driver”. Yes, I can imagine he needed an ambulance. I would have had a heart attack if all that fire power was aimed at me! I imagine there was some rough and tumble too. He’s lucky they didn’t shoot first and ask questions later. Good training on the law enforcement’s part.
MY first thought was, oh great, now the bad guys will have lots of footage of the front of his house; but I saw only footage in the dark—unable to make much of the visuals, thank GOODness!
