The woman who died today in DC.......

[Meck77]

So I have been thinking about the woman who died or was killed in DC today. Haven't heard a lot of details like all of you.

What I did see was politicians applauding both republicans and democrats praising the police for "protecting them"?

Was the woman really out to get them? Was she protesting the shut down? Perhaps she was angry about her financial situation? Or did she just have a mental issue? What happened to the child? During one of the police interviews the Chief police officer did say "It was not a terrorist act". The reporter quickly fired back "How can you say that so soon". He then basically discounted what he originally said and left it at that.

Anyone else have any thoughts? Do we care?

Initial reports are she had mental issues. I don't think they have the whole story yet.

Reports saying her name is Miriam Carey. A 34 year-old dental hygienist from Stamford, CT.

Speculation of post-partum depression, though it's tough to tell if that is just more media propaganda. 18-month old not hurt in chase.

Edit: Pretty lady, but was angry. Drove an Infiniti. Got let go from her job in 2011 for refusing to stop parking in the handicap spot among other things.

Apparently was sick of the bullsh*t, but looks like she brought it on herself.

She was murdered. Look at the video.

She was murdered. Look at the video.

Looks a lot like suicide by cop. She was already being pursued before she got anywhere near the barricades, and looks like she attempted to get past the barricades to avoid capture.

The capital police ****ed up and let the situation get out of control by not pinning her vehicle against the barricades before attempting to get her out of the car.

She most certainly didn't just innocently make a wrong turn and accidentally bump into the barricades.

She was driving that car like she was playing Grand Theft Auto. That traffic circle maneuver where she pulled a Griswold was impressive because she was driving at a good clip.

Sad to see a person spiral like that.

She thought Obama was stalking her.



Not really that much different from the Tea Party.

Stay classy.

Thanks for the updates. Seems like hitting the barricades was more of circumstance than someone actually trying to plow in the White House like the early reports might have suggested.

Stay classy.

I'm a horrible person.

Very fortunate that the little girl didn't get hit with all those bullets flying. They didn't even know there was an 18 month in the car until after the situation.

In the police's defense she did try to ram them from the video. Didn't seem lime mom was too concerned about her child.

Yeah, that's pretty much what happens when you get in a high-speed chase and try to ram cops.
