Of all days to be called out for disrespecting a sacred place.
The US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier admonished Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.View quoted post on X
โAll visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.โ the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.
Hegseth was standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, Chief of Staff Ricky Buria, Deputy Chief of Staff Patrick Weaver, and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh after the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

Criminology has spent decades warning us about the dangers of labeling offenders.
Yet the same discipline seems remarkably comfortable with sweeping, stigmatizing descriptions of police officers.
Hypocrisy, me thinks.

Get thee to a current copy of @ACJS_Today. @Jerry_Ratcliffe has a delicious take on the duplicitous application of language policing over at Criminology. If this pilot thing doesn't work out, he's got a real future with satire.View quoted post on X
Cheers to this 2027 Stockholm Prize in Criminology winner.
The work of Anthony Braga has provided highly systematic impact assessments of the focused deterrence strategy. He and colleagues reviewed all available impact evaluations. The analysis showed that the strategy reduced lethal violence by a mean of 23%.๐View quoted post on X
Congratulations to my mate and colleague Anthony Braga for deservedly winning the 2026 Stockholm Prize in Criminology with David Kennedy. If you donโt know why, read his book with Phil Cook. Smart, thoughtful, realistic.
