• Some protesters are more.

    ... equal than others.

    Since the "leak" of the Supreme Court draft opinion regarding Roe v. Wade,
    it has been pretty much OK for protesters to hang out and the homes of the justices (justices who are supposed to be somewhat shielded from having
    their opinions swayed by "the mob"). Unless it is proven that they are armed and dangerous, it is "hands off"!

    However, let one lone female armed with nothing more than a bullhorn get
    too close to a heavily armed and guarded Presidential motorcade and
    she is quickly taken down, WWE style, slapped around, and handcuffed.

    The irony here is that in both cases, the protesters are protesting for the Right to Choose. I thought I had better throw that in before someone
    started going off on "conservatives" and one-person "insurrections."

    Nope. Protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices are illegal.

    Have they been arresting people who do? When is the inquiry into what they
    are up to going to be televised in prime time?

    See above. The armed one doesn't count because I already mentioned they
    get in trouble.

    Presumably when the president encourages them via lies to storm the Justices' homes and erect gallows outside just in case they find who they're looking
    for.

    Anyone who gets too close to a presidential motorcade, no matter their political persuasion or the president's, gets arrested.

    Hello Jeff,

    [..]

    Anyone who gets too close to a presidential motorcade, no matter their political persuasion or the president's, gets arrested.

    With one exception.

    President Richard Nixon attended the funeral for US Senator
    Allen Ellender at St. Francis Cathedral in Houma, Louisiana.
    He was outside, at the entrance, in broad daylight, all by
    himself, about to enter the church.

    Lo and behold, a local politician, early 20s, who was justice
    of the peace, walked right up to him, arm extended. Nixon's face
    turned ashen white, as he thought it was an assassination attempt.
    I was there, along with two cousins, and we saw the entire thing.

    The secret service had sharpshooters on rooftops and had their
    weapons pointed at the guy approaching Nixon, who was scared
    shitless. The assailant then grabbed Nixon's hand and shook it,
    with a giant grin on his face, saying how happy he was to see
    him. Nixon never said a word, being too stunned at what happened.

    The local politician who did this is the only individual
    I know who had a bigger ego than Donald Trump. I wish we had
    cell phones at the time, as I could have recorded it.

    I could see the headlines the next day while watching -

    LOCAL CAJUN POLITICIAN KILLED WHILE SHAKING NIXON'S HAND

    For Life,
    Lee

    They did not just arrest her, they beat her up.

    My bad. Nevertheless, the Secret Service takes the security of the area surrounding the president very seriously. I'm pretty sure it's in their job description.
