Classmates Reveal Romney's Mischievous High School Habit

Classmates: Mitt Romney Impersonated Police Officer In High School And College

As a high school student, Romney's mischievous disposition was frequently on display. Classmates told the Washington Post in a piece published last month that this sometimes led him into unpleasant territory, such as the time he and a group of friends pinned down a screaming boy -- who was presumed to be gay -- and gave him a "hack job" haircut with a pair of scissors.

In another questionable display of his inner prankster, it now appears that Romney was also reportedly fascinated with police uniforms, which he sometimes put on to carry out elaborate practical jokes.

According to a report from National Memo, Romney was open about this practice, telling fellow students at Stanford University, where he studied for two years, that he "sometimes disguised himself as a police officer."

According to classmate Robin Madden, Romney once brought a group of classmates up to his dorm room where he showed them his Michigan State Trooper’s uniform.

Said Madden in a recent interview, “He told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father,” George Romney, then the Governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. “He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler.”

In Madden’s recollection, confirmed by his wife Susan, who also attended Stanford during those years, “we thought it was all pretty weird. We all thought, ‘Wow, that’s pretty creepy.’ And after that, we didn’t have much interaction with him,” although both Madden and Romney were prep school boys living in the same dorm, called Rinconada.

While the treatment of such behavior has no doubt become more severe in the period between Romney's antics and the present, National Memo points out that impersonating a police officer is a crime -- and a fairly serious one at that -- in the states of California, where Stanford is located, and Michigan, where Cranbrook is located. While some may be concerned about the legal implications of the decades-old acts, the episodes appear more indicative of a Romney who, from a young age, displayed a comfort with power and privilege that his peers have suggested he used to act out in his quest for social acceptance.

Oh, now, this is beyond the pale... While it may be true, I just liked the feel of the uniform...and the bright shiny buttons...and that badge on my chest just made me feel so....powerful...and accepted by my peers.

Wait, I feel it coming on again.... "Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain..." Dang, I just love "Amercia the Beautimous"... I just get overwhelmed.

Oh so what? You are so shallow. I wonder if Obama was doing anything illegal as a teenager? Guess what socialist? The country is tired of paying for the entitlement bums. The country is tired of the legal blackmail that the public unions have been perpetrating for years. The country is tired period of spend, spend, spend... and you don't have anything... if this is all the Obama administration has to campaign on... you're toast in Nov. 2012.

Why is he hiding his college transcripts? A Mexican citizenship perhaps?

I'm not hiding my transcripts... (However, marriage license(s), and that police uniform in the closet are another matter entirely...)

College transcripts replace birth certificate for Obama detractors

Got to get our jollies somewhere...

One of my coworkers was just busted for putting red and blue lights on his motorcycle. Police treat this crime pretty seriously. But the man at 20 isn't the man at 60.

Well... evidently YOU care about what Romney was doing at 20?
