Ha. My car was broken into this past week between the hours of 5:30p.m.-7:30p.m. Two whole hours. Broad daylight. Construction on several homes nearby. But I just think the secret service would be trained to notice someone not following a normal routine or other "off" things etc. The secret service doesn't roam the neighborhood, they are stationed at the VP house and protect that. I was in that neighborhood 2 weeks ago to visit the Finnish Embassy then decided to walk around to kill time before a hair appointment. It was my first time walking off Mass ave and was amazed at all the beautiful houses back there. But it was also eerie because I was the only one walking on the sidewalk, the neighborhood of mansions was deserted of foot traffic which is not something you often find during the day in DC. So the Secret Service stays firmly planted at Joe Bidens home with no concern for anything else happening nearby that could indirectly affect the V.P safety. Good to know.

Olan, what would the any law enforcement have been able to do? Was anyone aware a crime was happening? The husband of the housekeeper apparently came to the house while they were being held and didn't report anything suspicious. I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm trying to understand what LEO,or others, could have noticed to prevent such an awful outcome.

There is going to be more to this case. How sad for the two teenage daughters away at boarding school. Joe Biden lives in the area so I am shocked that he/they didn't stand out as suspicious. I didn't say that the Secret Service could have prevented the tragedy or in any way suggested someone in LEO dropped a ball. My point is with Secret Service in the area I am kind of surprised that level of vigilance didn't deter crime or that the killer and his associates didn't catch the eye of one of the agents.

Olan like their proximity should be enough to make a bad guy think twice? I understand now, thank you. You and I- sane people- think that way! Bad guys do not. Think how many people he killed, for so little cash, and so few days of freedom with it. Maybe there's a bigger conspiracy, or he's an evil idiot. Stay safe. it a beautiful city despite the craziness.
