BREAKING ...

The U.S. Capitol is in lockdown, amid reports of shots being fired.

Excellent observation.This country has gone to the dogs. It just looked ridiculous. It is now government against the people. All those fat corrupt politicos and bureaucrats looting the treasury of our tax dollars, living like kings!! While we toll away in serfdom.

[Toespi]

Now that is the most accurate reporting in this entire mess!

Reb as in Rebel?

Actually a typo, but Reb works too. It's a shame that simply supporting the constitution brands one a rebel or an extremist these days. I never thought I'd see my country decline so rapidly.

ROTFLOL! Post of the day!!

Two points:

1) Only Al Hurra TV has any video. Maybe the public wasn’t supposed to see that the woman wasn’t any danger to anyone when a bunch of cops pulled their guns. And like when a dog starts barking, all the other dogs bark, too. A cop shoots then all the cops shoot.

2) This is a warning. DO NOT COME TO WASHINGTON AND TRY ANYTHING!

[BIGLOOK]

It's been a couple hours now and I can hardly believe the cops don't have an identity.....from the car registration, insurance card (maybe she didn't have a current policy) or driver's license.

Of course, the delays seem to standard procedure now a days.

“I have only suggested a Second Adult passenger “

So did CNN but they did not cite source.

I am multitasking and way behind most recent info.

[FreeAtlanta]

my guess is she was in some kind of desperate financial state and had to see “her man” Barack Obama to ask him for help. Another disturbed and desperate groupie.

[Irenic]

Very nice.

[An American!]

They are reading KC Burkes post 496 now to catch up on what happened so they can tell us...

[SE Mom]

That’s a really good question.

Maybe the surrounding cops HEARD the gunfire but had no way of knowing who was doing the shooting.

[Old Sarge]

I’d like to join Commander Riker in applauding your most excellent summary of the reported "facts":

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

They’re saying it was a woman with a small child in her car and she drove through a barricade (Barry-cade?) and then she drove off and drove through another “Barry-cade” and they shot her dead. So in other words she drove like a woman, panicked and they killed her.

[KC Burke]

thank you

It is simply amazing how these things unfold.

I should have added that there appears to be a capital area parking permit on the left front windshield, (but it could be a tea party decal) and the Turner Diaries were on top of the meth in the back seat right next to her Obama Phone charger.

[dragnet2]

Don’t buy it...

They already know exactly who the driver is/was and are probably white washing any blogs, comments, notes, websites, associated with the suspect.

[Boogieman]

“I guess we’ll see how it plays out, but it’s actually depressing that these “natural disasters”/people-who-just-snap can be predicted so accurately based on nothing more than the political landscape.”

Easy to say that, after the fact. Next time, make your prediction before it happens, and we’ll see how easy it is.

I can hardly believe the cops don't have an identity.....from the car registration, insurance card (maybe she didn't have a current policy) or driver's license.

They know, they just aren't telling. A simple tag number will ID the owner of the vehicle. If not her, a phone call to the owner will tell the tale. Unless the car is stolen, of course.

[Bronzewound]

Another vote for post of the day!

[Rio]

I’m sure they have an identity. They have to scrub her facebook account before releasing it to the public.
