No motivation can justify the sort of actions that I have referenced, or indeed this madness here today. We all know that much.

What I try to do when something like this happens, is I try to consider the position of the suspect. Thinking like a total nutbag is impossible unless you have significant background on them however, so until that becomes available, I try to run through as many scenarios as possible, and see which one fits the circumstances best. Im going with suicide by cop, but its totally possible that something else is going on here, and only time will tell.

They are saying the incident started at the WH... she tried to bust the barrier there... then ran off.

Then they had reason to shoot her because of erratic behavior.

I'll put that on my list of things not to do.

Doesnt look like too much front end damage for trying to ram white house barriers....

Do you think the shooter was upset over the cost of Obamacare?

The political scene is definitely coming to a boiling point.

Still trying to find it, I've read every post since the beginning, and it was on a link somewhere.

Guess it doesn't matter now, if it is being reported that ALL shots were by the police. Lends credence that she was unarmed.

Supposedly a man left the car, supposedly with a gun. Before they killed the women.

I suppose trying is the key word there.... who knows.

This should be interesting.

The news reports aren't saying whether she is dead or not. (are they?)

BBC on the spot, constant coverage has finished for the moment, the news has once again been interspersed with British home affairs, so thats me bereft of on the spot news, second by second. I rely on you my kindred, and most respected associates to keep me abreast of the news as it comes in!

You mean here?

The New York Times says:



"Several senators were outside the Capitol when they reported between four and six shots fired. Police officers in a high-speed chase pulled over a black car in front of one of the Senate office buildings, but witnesses said a man fled on foot with a gun visible.

I assume this is confusion...but we will see.

The list if growing by day, we are all terrorist this days, the women obviously didn't had a weapon, I guess the police thought that she may had some superpowers and they got scare, either that or this days we are all now officially target regardless or the reasons as long as we look "erratic", "dangerous" "angry" or "just dissatisfied".

What a joke.

Yes, thank you.


CNN is saying it all started over a verbal altercation.

The chase began when the woman driving a black sedan got involved in some kind of verbal altercation with officers at a security checkpoint a block from the White House, the intelligence source said. As police cars arrived at the scene, the vehicle sped away and led police on a wild chase that included running red lights, according to the source.

here is one but it is not the close up one

It's being reported now that she is dead.

Seems they should have maybe tried roadblocks or something first, seeing as how there was a child in the car.
