Which is a perfectly acceptable response. As was any presence of the Secret Service, because they will be cited by their inspector general if they fail in their mission, which includes investigating any threats to any degree on the President's safety. The problem I have is that this thread has gone from pointing this out to an all out discussion on how it was inevitable that he would become violent due to his illustrations.
