Shots fired around the white house.

[LMNO]

Weird.  Earlier reports from family and friends said no history of mental health problems.

Normally, I'd be the first one to be suspicious, but she DID ram the white house gates.

Whoa.

[The Johnny]

She was upset because she thought Obama was stalking her.

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.

Poor lady.   

Paranoia and schizophrenia can lead to someone doing such things... unfortunate result that parallels a lot of shootings? A bad national system of mental health?

Would you consider this as police brutality? I mean, a car can indeed be used as a weapon.

[Demolition Squid]

My dad was talking to me about this earlier. He has worked at some secure sites (not the freakin' white house but pretty secure), and even there, the gates were designed so that you could ram them with a juggernaut and the juggernaut would come off worse than the gate.

The idea that unloading huge amounts of rounds into her if her tiny car was the full extent of the threat is proportional in any way is laughable, if unsurprising.

No, I view this as a tragedy for everyone involved.

This. We did alot of work at AUTEC when I was on the Phoenix and you couldn't ram through the gates there with a fully loaded 18-wheeler. For a vehicle to be a threat to breach the White House gates it would have to be a vehicle that wouldn't even notice small arms fire being poured into it.

Bump.  Crazy theories ahoy!

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/29/birther-preacher-claims-obama-had-mother-of-his-love-child-killed-outside-white-house/

Reverend James David Manning of the Atlah World Missionary Church claimed this week that Miriam Carey, who was shot and killed by authorities after crashing her car into the U.S. Capitol building last month, had been assassinated by President Barack Obama because she had given birth to his illegitimate daughter.

[...]

The theory, which appears to have originated with a Russian website, alleges that before a May 2011 graduation address to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Obama stopped at the dentist office where Carey worked as an assistant, because a piece of pistachio shell had become lodged in his back moral.

While there, according to the theory, Obama struck up a friendship with Carey, who became pregnant shortly afterward. The website claimed that Carey refused Obama's request to have an abortion, at which point Obama "lured" her to Washington and had her killed. (Even more bizarrely, the site goes to claim that Obama was out trolling for extramarital action because Michelle Obama was actually born a man.)

Manning accused the "entire world media" of refusing to investigate the incident, and chastised Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, women's rights groups, academia, and the courts for "refusing to come to the aid of this slaughtered woman, which means that they are protecting something that they feel far more important, which is Barack Hussein Obama. Case closed."

Manning, who has previously hosted a woman on his program who claimed that Obama had traded gay sex for cocaine as a teenager and bummed cigarettes without offering thanks, isn't the only source for the "love child" theory.

A website called What Does It Mean? claims that Russian authorities have developed intelligence showing that Obama fathered Carey's child during an emergency dentist visit May 18, 2011.

Just in case the theory wasn't convoluted enough, the site also claims that Obama engaged in the extramarital affair because his wife, Michelle Obama, was in fact born a man.

Seems legit.

It's all starting to make sense now. 

[Cain]

The man's clearly a moral monster.  He bums cigarettes without offering thanks, as a teenager.  Is there any greater indication of his sociopathy?

"Back moral" sounds vaguely Freudian.
