A sedan smacked into a Secret Service vehicle that was part of President Joe Biden’s motorcade in Delaware on Sunday night.

Following the crash, U.S. Secret Service agents whisked Biden into a vehicle.

Agents quickly surrounded the sedan with guns drawn and aimed at its driver, who had his hands up. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.

Special Agent Steve Kopek, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the vehicle that struck was securing Biden’s motorcade route.

    And after you’re disoriented from an accident, you know none of that. All you know is something happened. Now you’re covered with airbag powder, your ears are ringing, blood maybe, and now an armed gang surrounds your car and starts screaming at you.

    No that’s not COOL. That’s a dystopia. If you arm your civilians to the teeth, the violent reactions required for any situation escalate dramatically.

      This you?

      No that’s called actions having consequences. Sometimes when you’re a victim, it’s because you’re a dipshit and you deserve it. Not everything is 100% black and white and “victim blaming” should absolutely happen when it is deserved.
