So, not everyone in Washington is an evil, dark “man in black” but maybe they want to be. Reports say a DC intern thwarted a mugging in Washington D.C. this week by pretending to be an NSA intern.
Of course the “thwarter” was the victim in this case. And a tiny one, at that. The Washington Examiner reports say that she “weighs a petite 95 pounds.”
According to reporter Tim Mak, the intern–who doesn’t work at the NSA–told the would be robber that she was a member of the NSA and if he stole her phone or hurt her in any way the NSA would track him down and… well, I guess she left the rest to the mugger’s imagination.
“I told him that the NSA could track the phone within minutes, and it could cause possible problems for him,” the intern told reporters.
Of course, most of the NSA folks have been on their little temporary vacations during the government shut down, so this idiot mugger apparently didn’t realize that.
This sprite of a woman should feel lucky, really. Washington DC is one of the most dangerous cities in America quite despite its extremely strict gun laws and the billions it spends on policing and lawmaking.
