Hearing multiple reports.

One said that the car rammed the gate at the White House.

One said there was a chase.

One said it was female driver and she was killed, and that there was a child in the car.

No word on whether it had a pistol grip shifter or rack mounts for accessories.

Last I heard there were no victims. So........ if there's no victim then there's no need to wait on the jokes.

Then again, I'd still crack the jokes because I'm known to be a heartless bastard. There's many reason why we have chosen not to procreate..... this may be one of them.

I would say the kid in the backseat if they aren't hurt is a victim....

Making some assumptions here:

Driver gets pulled over. Runs. Hits barricade/gate at Capitol. Shots fired. Driver is killed. Child in car uninjured.

Basically, it sounds as though this wasn't terrorism, this was an accidental shooting of a mother.

Again.... I know you want a reason to hate on me and all.... last I heard there were no victims. No children. An officer was injured but not shot.

Jeebus peeps. Get the sand out of the vajayjay will yay? Lighten up fer cryin out loud. If you want a reason to hate on someone, just ask. I'm sure I can give you 10-15 good reasons for outrage. This ain't one of them.

I would say that a shooting at our Capitol, with or without victims, is something that we shouldn't be joking about.

Just sayin'.

It's kinda starting to look like the only people shooting at our Capitol were the PoPo. And the car was a Nissan, err, Datsun, I mean Infinity. Yup, bet it had an automatic transmission. No sporting purpose at all for that car. Ban it!!

They managed to shoot and kill a confused, panicked unarmed woman driving in her own car with her child.

... phew, that was a close call.

Horrible situation and obviously this was a crazy person and all of that blah blah blah, but part of me thinks that maybe if this were to happen a bit more often.... maybe if politicians were to start fearing the people, maybe this country might be better off.

TERRIBLE car to use as a battering ram. Don't you know you're supposed to use a 1 ton diesel at MINIMUM? And 4wd. VERY important.

Something makes very little sense here. What moron would ram the gates with a car? Why would they open fire on an unarmed woman? I'd love to just blame the po-po and call her an idiot for ramming a barrier that was essentially designed to be rammed, but there HAS to be more... doesn't there?

Some reports have suggested the woman had mental health issues.

As for over-reaction by the police and Secret Service, they have to defend a target-rich environment that is an alternate Mecca for extremists. They assume the worst until proven otherwise and she made matters as worse as they could become.

It is a tragedy with the only redeeming hope that some underpants in the Capitol building had to be changed. Those people need to sit in their own crap for a while instead of making us do it.

if the barrier was designed to stop vehicles and it stopped a vehicle... why the need to shoot?
