Nearly run over by Mike Pence this evening

[Swagman]

Crossing a street near my Surry Hills, Sydney home today. 4 motorcycle cops suddenly turn the corner and wait and then speed up as a 10 car cavalcade with US flags sweeps by.

I waved. No response.

By Lily Mayers and Riley Stuart

New South Wales police say they are well prepared for the weekend visit of US Vice-President Mike Pence, who has arrived in Sydney tonight.

Several exclusion zones are in place around the harbour city's famed landmarks ahead of Mr Pence's three-day Australian visit.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said police were working very closely with the US Secret Service during the visit.

1. You failed to mention

that you waved your middle finger.

And for that I salute you!

3. I'm too polite.

but now I know the sort of, secret back route they take as bizarrely almost the same thing happened about 9 months ago with Angela Merkel when she was visiting.

You would think they would vary the route.

7. I bet you would shake Angela Merkel's hand

unlike this dummy.

4. You beat me to it

and for that I salute you

8. We're simply projecting

what we would do if we were in a similar situation.

2. Shame you didn't have your tucker bag with you

You could have thrown your jumbuck at him.

5. they all have guns.

in that dark windowed van right behind which you know is crammed with Secret Service people.

6. Have they dropped the toxic substances import laws then?

No quarantine for pence?
