Crime Fighter

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He had really bushy eyebrows.
    The President got shot on his watch.
    He admitted that when the doctors started working on Reagan his initial thought was, 'My God, we've lost another one.'
    He later said that God directed his life to save Reagan. (Although it seems God could have prevented a lot of trouble for a lot of people -- especially James Brady -- if He had directed Parr to spot the loon in the crowd with a gun before the bullets started flying. But then, He does work in mysterious ways.)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He first became interested in joining the Secret Service at age 12 after watching the movie 'Code of the Secret Service,' starring Ronald Reagan.
    When Hinckley began firing, he and fellow agent Ray Shattuck quickly shoved Reagan into the Presidential limo.
    When Reagan spat up bright red blood, Parr realized that it came from Reagan's lungs and ordered the limo to head for George Washington University Hospital.
    The order was widely credited with saving Reagan's life.
    After retiring from the Secret Service, he became a pastor at the ecumenical Festival Church.
    He and his wife Carolyn volunteered at Mother Teresa's hospice for homeless AIDS patients.
    He died three days before his and Carolyn's 56th wedding anniversary.
