Shots fired at US Capitol

[Elbe]

Yes it is sad for this child, however, there are certain highly secure buildings and areas in the country where you are asking to get shot if you breach security. The White House is one of those. If the car had explosives and made it past the gate/barricades then people would have been saying well why didn't they shoot first.

Capitol Suspect Miriam Carey Believed Obama Electronically Monitored Her - Yahoo

The woman who led police on a high-speed chase near the U.S. Capitol before being shot dead had a history of mental illness and believed President Obama was electronically monitoring her Connecticut home in order to broadcast her life on television, sources said.

Whew!!! I thought I was the only one!!!!

Here’s Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) using the tragedy of Miriam Carey for political purposes. Does this woman have no shame?:


“God knows, the tragedy of this poor person who came on the Hill in a black car — no one knows what drive [sic] this person to do this — but what I would say to you is, let's get our wheels back on, serve the American people, bring them back, vote for a bill today that will open the government, I will stay here until we get that bill on the floor, piecemeal is undeserving of America.”


Dead Black Woman at Capitol Building Blamed On Republicans

"We" did not fail her. If anyone,it was her family and/or close friends that failed her. I don't buy into the Hillary Village crap.

I think it is good that for a change the nutcase gets killed before they kill someone else. It is possible that her death saved the life of her child being taken by her deranged mother.

"Sources told ABC News that Connecticut police had twice in 2012 been called by Miriam Carey's boyfriend, who reported the woman was delusional, acting irrationally and putting her infant daughter in danger."

I agree with this somewhat. I hope they shot out the tires and into the engine block first.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

No but seriously you try to breach the White House security then run, it's not going to end well. Those guys are serious...

The picture I saw had no bullet holes anywhere in the hood or front driver side quarter panel. I couldn't see the bottom of any wheels to see if rims were on the ground. My understanding is they got her boxed in, and she was still trying to drive so they had to shoot her to stop her from doing any more damage or causing anyone else harm.

This will not immediately disable a vehicle though. The fastest way to stop a vehicle that is a threat (not saying that it was or wasn't since I was not there) is to incapacitate the driver.

If it was a VBED, like they supposedly thought it was there could have been a throttle lock or it could have been remote control. Im not saying they did wrong. Mess of a situation. But unless she was about to run over someone id have shot into tires and engine first. I wasnt there though. They have to live with their decisions.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Good shoot.

The problem is that she was driving an evil black assault vehicle. Those things should be banned, it looks too much like the black vehicles the military uses.

That 18 gallon gas tank needs to be banned as well, no one needs that much gas. Five gallons is enough for anyone!

Apparently she bought it at a car show without undergoing any background check. That loophole needs to be closed, for the children!

Neither are effective measures in stopping a vehicle. The police did exactly what the situation required.

She did bounce an officer off her bumper and onto the hood.

That cop was probably just using some kind of military tactic to stall her until they rolled in the Abrams tanks.

You know,it did look like he had practiced that move before.

Yeah, they are teaching all the cops to do that at the academy now so they can have an excuse to shoot.

If I get hit while jaywalking, can I get up and return fire? I did that one time on grand theft auto.

I do not agree with any sort of violence being directed against any of our Liberal knot heads BUT.........

People are getting desperate and we'll be seeing more of these totally off the wall incidents. The woman was obviously unbalanced.
