    Nowadays, the term, 'Breaking News' means turn off your television and come back in a day or so to find out what REALLY happened.

    I thought no one was working there right now anyway. What is there to lock down?

    No weapon on suspect, shots fired were all by police.
  • brianluxbrianlux Posts: 42,052
    My guess is that if you try to ram the White House with your vehicle you're going to get shot whether you're armed or not.

    A car can be considered a weapon, no?

    Indeed! One of the most dangerous. Did Godfather once suggest they be outlawed? :lol:

    sounds like a plan to me. saving tens of thousands of human lives, tens of thousands of animal lives, and not having millions of machines polluting our air. hard to be against that.....oh wait I just realized I don't care about anyone getting killed unless it's by a gun. nevermind.

    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    now, I'm no unsung, but why couldn't the cops, at that close range, shoot the tires instead of the person inside?

    The woman who led authorities on a chase from the White House to the Capitol before she was killed by police may have thought that President Barack Obama was stalking her, law enforcement sources told NBC News.

    The sources said that the woman, Miriam Carey, had a history of mental health problems.

    The chase, on Thursday afternoon, stirred panic in the capital and briefly stopped the mechanisms of government. It happened two weeks after a man shot 12 people to death at the Washington Navy Yard.

    Was thinking the same. Don't blame the cops and with bombs being a real threat they didn't know but this could have gone better. Sad how mental I'llness can kill you. Wish best for the kid. Wonder what affects it will have on her growing up. Any thoughts on this?

    Police tend to shoot people who do this to other police ...
