Woman threw egg salad at Secret Service agent, police say

By Tony Plohetski | Monday, February 25, 2008, 12:31 PM

A Texas state Capitol employee who police said wanted to go in the building Friday before a rally by presidential candidate Barack Obama threw a bowl of egg salad at a U.S. Secret Service agent who denied her access, according to an arrest affidavit.

Tracy Firsching, 47, is charged with assault on a peace officer, a third-degree felony for which she faces up to 10 years in prison.

According to the affidavit, Firsching started to go around police barriers when she was stopped by Secret Service agent Brian Sanders, who told her that she could not go in the secured area without an escort.

The affidavit said Firsching told Sanders that, “You’re going to have to arrest me” and to go past him. Sanders grabbed her by the arm to turn her around when she threw a plastic bowl of egg salad at him and struck him in the face with the bowl, the

1. And to think they are inspired by a guy running as an empty suit

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. A 'uniter'!

[bdamomma]

2. no I don't she was rabid, maybe she just wanted to see her

candidate, SS can be very arrogant too.

13. Were you all not complaining about his security and now

it's ok to throw something at them ? Wow.

[LizW]

3. Dang. I love egg salad.

I wonder what she was doing with a bowl of it? Was it some sort of offering?

Do people take foodstuffs to Obama rallies?

[MethuenProgressive]

4. What kind of egg salad?

Macaroni? Peas? Apples? Mmmmmmmm....

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

6. so what. The egg salad will be on e-bay

along with Obama's dirty kleenex.

[cali]

7. Was she an Obama supporter or an irate employee who

wanted to get back to her office? Seems unlikely she was going to the rally with a bowl of egg salad.

[WilyWondr]

8. 3rd degree felony?

Do you think if she had thrown donuts at him it would have been fine?

I cannot believe throwing egg salad at someone could possibly be a felony. Just another example of how fubar the laws in the US have become under 28 years of con rule.

[JustDavid]

28. huh?

What about a rock?
What about a knife?
What about a bowling ball?

It said she threw a bowl and the bowl struck the officer in the face. She's lucky 'arrested' was all she got.

So now do we have to ask what kind of bowl? Was it lightweight plastic or heavy ceramic? I think it better to simply say "Don't strike anyone with ANYTHING"

Hitting someone with an object a misdemeanor.
Hitting an officer with an object is a felony.
What happens in a society where its OK to go around throwing things at people?

9. God, I hate it when people throw egg salad. I like egg salad. All us cultists love egg salad.

I suppose she was "foaming at the mouth" and had to be put down, as well. So sad.

Oh well. I just wish I had some egg salad right now. For me and the rest of the rabid cult members. We mindless Obama robots like our egg salad, you betcha.

19. There You Go Again

If you are going to borrow other people's words, try to get the translation right.

"Klaatu Barada Nikto" means "Klaatu needs help.";-)

[Faygo Kid]

25. I actually thought it meant, "Gort need smoke." But, I "appropriated" it.

I'm part of a cult. We get to do such things.

So there.

[Skinner]

10. Oh, please.

The article doesn't even say which candidate this person supports. And even if it did, it would be completely irrelevant. This is one out-of-control jerk. Every group of people has them.

[Mags]

right Skinner, we can't post anything about the Obama

people here,

[Skinner]

23. News flash: This article isn't about Obama supporters.

It's about a crazy person who threw egg salad at a secret service agent.

[MyNameGoesHere]

It's all the Kumbaya singing it makes one insane eventually. n/t

[Abacus]

11. It reads like she wanted into her office,

not to attend the rally.

[JackORoses]

18. she was probably a rabid Hillarite who was upset that Obama was disrupting her workday

[Occam Bandage]

12. Nowhere does it claim she's an Obama supporter, or even a Democrat.

[tabatha]

14. Sounds more like an employee than an Obama supporter.

Your headline is rabid.

[damntexdem]

15. Hey, don't interrupt me while I'm foaming at the mouth!

Or I'll bite you.

;-)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. Oh my....is this the beginings of the great unhinging silliness....lmao

[Forkboy]

I doubt it, though I know Hillary supporters are desperate for ANYTHING to take him down.

I don't like the guy at all, but some of you are just pathetic is your delusion of politics and the electorate.

[Forkboy]

17. Mags, what's the matter with you?

If I judged Hillary supporters by people like you I'd think you're all batshit crazy, but unlike you, apparently, I'm smart enough to know ONE person represents ONE person. A person, I might add, who they didn't say who she supported anyways. Which one is foaming at the mouth, the lady in the story or the poster using it to try to prove a vapid point on the internet?

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Who was she planning on sharing the egg salad with in the first place?

[GoneOffShore]

21. Did the egg salad have mustard?

Or mayo or both?

[Breeze54]

22. I love egg salad but how does one woman become 'them'?

:eyes:

[anigbrowl]

24. Who says she's an Obama supporter?

"A TEXAS STATE CAPITOL EMPLOYEE who police said wanted to go in the building Friday before a rally by presidential candidate Barack Obama threw a bowl of egg salad at a U.S. Secret Service agent who denied her access, according to an arrest affidavit."

Caps added for emphasis. For all we know, maybe she doesn't like Obama and was annoyed by having her lunch routine interrupted by his rally.

[ClayZ]

26. ...egg salad, egg salad, I think I'll make egg salad

for lunch today!

K and R

:hippie:

[goldcanyonaz]

27. *gasp* must have been a Clinton supporter disguised as an Obama supporter.

:rofl:
