"A dental hygienist from Connecticut was the female driver who tried to ram her car into a White House barricade and was shot dead near the US Capitol after a high-speed chase through Washington streets Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources told The Post."
Sources said Miriam Carey, who formerly lived in Brooklyn, was licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut and had a permit to work as a hygienist in Connecticut prisons."
The incident ended at 2nd Street and Constitution Avenue, two blocks from the Capitol and between the US Supreme Court building and the Hart Senate Office Building."

Well, at least we know now she spoke English. I was worried it was some foreign national who panicked and then got shot.
Now I'm just guessing she was off her meds.
We do not know that she "tried to ram her car into a White House barricade" (or "Barrycade"); only that she did, and it might be just that she was driving in high heels or got flustered and drove into it by mistake. Then we see half a dozen or more cops jump at the car with guns drawn, and she whips around and takes off. So, did she panic and flee? It would not be an unreasonable reaction, especially with her kid in the car. And the kid looked black, so she presumably was too. Did she have reason to get scared? I would think so, with all the rhetoric the MSM has been throwing around for the last year and a half about "open season on black people", etc., and so forth.
Just heard that Trooper is fine; he got a pacemaker today and is going home tomorrow.
They will be monitoring his blood pressure and heart rate remotely, especially when he's online.
Another thought; I wrote "the kid looked black" because there was absolutely no mention of the driver's race on the evening news. Everything else being racial these days, why was that?
She is black. So this will disappear as quickly as the Navy Yard shooting.
So where's dad in all this?
Yep. Media memory hole.
If she's a registered democrat, it will be as if it never happened.
(unless the democrat hack media can manufacture a tea party angle)
The nonessential federal government closings simply drove her mad mad MAD!!!
Goddamned Republicans, making single black moms go crazy.
Some time ago I watched a lady driver ram 3 cars in the arrival lanes of the Phoenix airport. Forward, blam, into the back of a car, engine racing, then into reverse, blam, into the front of another car, engine screaming, then forward with a turn, blam into the side of a third car. Lady was totally perplexed at what was going on, not comprehending that the stuck gas peddle was her own. Someone got to the drivers door and reached in to turn off the key. Lots of damage but no one hurt bad.
Airport police did not open fire on her.
There's a picture of Ms. Carey on the web; very attractive black woman with nice teeth. Too bad for her and her kid. I have an uneasy feeling that this may have been a very unfortunate accident.
Obama is killing black people.
Oh wow..
I had a Kanye moment there.
Dude. It's "Barrycade"
She'd still be alive if we just got rid of all these guns.
Is Obama gonna tell us it could have been his daughter?
If you look at that video, there is minimal damage (if any) to her car and the posts (not barrycades). I think "rammed" is too strong a verb.
Barrycade.
She hit one and they mowed her down with bullets.
How will the pro-dem media twist this one?
eh. Tea party will be blamed.
How about SIGN UP: 1-800-FUCKYO...
These people give incompetence a bad name.
Barryposts?

The Obama daughters are shutdown.
"We shot her because she was insufficiently compliant."
I sorely hope this wasn't literally overkill by cops for over-reaction by a flibbertigibbet. If it was, we citizens are in for a long long next 20 years.
Best learn to go spread eagle on the ground whenever the cops are within 1000 feet.
Hey, wasn't Michelle asking for a government salary at one point?
If she were to get a salary for being first lady... would she have been considered essential at shutdown time?
At an auction you learn to be a little paranoid about stray hand movements, like scratching your nose.
Around cops, especially around cops at the White House, you'd better learn to act like a semi-retarded happy leaner/taker on the dole, hands always in view.
And by that I mean a Democrat.
"We shot her because she was insufficiently compliant."
Suddenly, ObamaCare takes on a really creepy overtone.
Barryers on the side of shoot first and aim later.
If Obama refuses to negotiate doesn't that make him non-essential?
Let me just say that the MugabeCare death panels are very very efficient.
20-car police chase... guarding a partially shutdown DC.
I don't know.

Nowhere near as efficient as the Nazi Einsatzgruppen.
MagabeCare knockoffs will be dubbed Ersatzgruppen.
knockoffs...
Knockoffs beats Barryers.
Rule Number One: Don't fuck with the cops.
Rule Number Two: Don't fuck with the cops.
Rule Number Three: When in doubt, review Rules One and Two.
Death panels guarding our most precious cargo. The a-holes in those buildings.
Sadness.
First thing in everyone's mind? Some conservative got fed-up with the infantile and irresponsible and ugly Obama administration and decided to do something about it.
A family member who is a flaming liberal (we avoid politics) saw this on her iPhone news earlier today, read the then headline that there was a shooting in DC and a cop was shot. Then snorted and said something about "That's democracy for you." (Referring, based on some thing she has posted on facebook, to her belief that guns are an evil of democracy.)
Instead we find now the dead woman was unarmed (except for her Lexus), had mental problems, and had her little girl with her.
(And did anyone mention she was black?)
Sad. Incredibly sad.
But everyone knows the first thing certain people thought of.
That also is very sad.
But everyone knows the first thing certain people thought of.
They keep training us to think that way and one day, like a stopped clock--they will be right. And then they will cheer and tell us "we told you so."
Something isn't right about this story at all. How does a woman with an 8 year old ram into a barricade? Even if she did, then she ended up starting a chain of events that would have escalated beyond her control since capital police/secret service would have clearly perceived this as a threat and escalated the situation further and she may have panicked and feared for her life. Was she armed? We will never know her intent now outside of what the kid says. Something ain't right here.

Pogo, I hate to tell you this, but cops are not your friend. They do not care anymore about your safety.
Methadras: the kid was 1, not 8. We will never know what happened until--paradoxically--the woman is vilified.
Oh yeah, I really want to go see our national monuments now, tour Washington and all the statues, so many game pieces, a Scotty dog, a gigantic iron, a raw metal unibody race car, a top hat, some were chess pieces but that game takes brains. Nothing more interesting than visiting carved out fiefdoms within the public domain. The national forest people can suck my
tumb. I have a booboo on my thumb, I hear these woodsmen are good with thumb booboos. Suck it, please.
Colorado, which apparently means "red", but then so does "rojo," and so does "rosa," everybody says it means "red," and it does, but also "ado" is past tense suffix, so color+ado=colored, It could mean "colored," but nobody says that, and nobody agrees with me, and that's why I'm such a loner all the time because you go, "red" and inside I go, "fucking colored!" And Colorado really is colored, it is far more characteristically colored than it is characteristically red, and yet give no outer indication of inner turmoil I suffer that frankly creates a barrier between us, has it both ways with its Federal and State parks. (<--diagram that!) The Federal parks NOPARKSFORYOU! but State parks, all open, warm and fuzzy, come on in, the weather's fine, everybody's hospitable, inviting, and eager to see you come visit. Come, give us your dinero, money in Spanish, but it could be masculine diner.
Yeah, I've gotten the drift. Shit, ain't there any men of honor left in the US and A?
And now that MugabeCare is going to extract payments or penalties directly from your bank accounts, banks aren't gonna be trusted either.
What a clusterfuck this is.

Ah, my typo. Didn't see it. Thank you.
The cops in DC are on edge. This past week they have been set upon by WWII vets who are just trying to see their War Memorial that was built for them before they die, so when this car bumps a barryer, it doesn't surprise me that the COPS WOULD SHOOT THE FUCKING WOMAN DRIVING THE CAR!
It's Barney Fife on the SWAT team.
On any other day, it would get a nod, but, because we're on "shutdown" alert, this is another crisis the Lefties can't let go to waste.
On 24 a few years ago there was a black chick who was kidnapped by terrorists or something and she sacrificed herself by grabbing the wheel of the SUV and steering it into a building or something.
Pretty cool.
WALLLEEEEEEDEEEEED!!!1111!!!!!!
Pro-dem media going with "She was depressed".
April, is every goddamned thing political to you?
