It was not immediately clear why the sedan smashed into an SUV that was part of the motorcade. The driver was surrounded by agents who had their guns drawn.

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.

    It’s the same thing. You want to see someone be terrorized versus someone being terrorized. Americans are fucking stupid.

      So do you never watch modern action movies then? Or even just the daily news? Wanting to see how something happened doesn’t mean you want it to happen again or at all, but knowing how it happened can prevent it from happening again.

      Americans are fucking stupid

      Yes, as a whole, we are, but in this situation, the only one who’s stupid, is the person who’s saying, “close your eyes and cover your ears and it doesn’t exist.”

      Edit: All these chucklechodes hyper-fixating on the example I used instead of what I was saying. Not wanting to see something on the principal of ‘it’s bad’ is the height of ignorance. Instead, you watch so you can learn from something. In this case, someone discouraging review of the incident, sets a tone of incompetent malpractice that is the exact reason why this world is the way it is.
