Obama was reportedly inches away from an armed stranger in a Hollywood alleyway This comes a day after a suspect allegedly shot into Kamala Harris empty campaign office.
The former president was sitting in the back seat of his SUV Saturday around 7:30 PM outside hot spot restaurant Mother Wolf — and that’s when the armed man approached the vehicle, in his capacity as a security guard for a bar mitzvah going on upstairs from the restaurant.
The bar guard said he went downstairs to check the scene, because someone told him it appeared federal agents were outside, and they didn’t know why. The guard says he panicked, realizing he was armed and could be taken out by Secret Service at any moment. So, he quickly walked away from the SUV, and out to the street where he said hello to the agents. He describes them as being startled to see him. He turned around, walked past Obama’s SUV again, and walked back upstairs to the bar mitzvah.
Then, about 30 minutes later, he says his boss asked him to hand over his credentials and his license to carry a concealed weapon for the Secret Service.
I hope the hired armed licensed security officer got his creds and weapon back!
HE didn’t do anything wrong in my professional opinion. But the SS sure overlooked crucial details.
