So it was a trick, which is still brilliant. Picked this particular link, though, because the "legit" attendee's comments are unreal.

"He was dressed like any one of us,"

"Someone tried to victimize me," Dever said. "You have Secret Service out here, and I'd expect it to be fully screened. ... Thank God someone noticed."

Ok, seriously? Do you really expect all people who are not your people to look like a cross between a refugee from the 60's, a Grateful Dead/Phish concert, and a retro Grunge fashion don't? Sorry. Some preppies don't walk that way.

Meanwhile, you were "victimized"?!? Like, it's a crime to hand out Russian flags? What would the Secret Service have been screening for? Do you actually know what the Secret Service does? Now, if someone had thrown one of the flags at the president, that's different.

I'm not a big practical joke fan, but this is mild and harmless. Sure you're embarrassed, but it's not like there'll forever be a picture of you on the internet topless, wrapped in a Russian flag that says Trump at spring break. I mean, I assume there isn't. I don't judge.
