Black Woman, Miriam Carey, Mistakenly Rammed "Barrycades" In D.C.

Ms Miriam Carey, a well mannered dental hygienist from Stamford Connecticut, may have been just touring Washington D.C near the Capitol Building when she surprisingly got caught in the midst of hundreds of Obama "Barrycades" which have been installed at a multitude of places around D.C. and other federal properties - "because of the government shutdown," allegedly. Washington D.C. had been increasingly blocking off streets close to the residence of the Director of Barrycades, President Barack Obama, even before the shutdown. A city that was once a joy to tour and view now looks more like Islamabad with all the restrictions and checkpoints installed due to government paranoia and an increasingly mentally ill populace.

Ms Carey, unfortunately, panicked after she accidentally hit a barricade, not a "gate" as reported, and then hysterically tried to escape the pinball machine type maze of barrycades, which is the best description of Washington D.C.'s hundreds of roadblocks.

I am not excusing the woman, but earlier reports that "she exchanged gunfire with police" also seem to be false.

Included in Washington's craze to make the city a maze of barricades, has been the barrycading of veterans' parks which had to be stormed by 80 year old World War II vets in order to gain entrance, as well as blocking a very tiny, federal park for kids - Turtle Park - which local D.C. mothers also had to storm so that their children could play on the swings. If Obama could only temporarily lay off his presidential butcher, baker, candle maker, 24/7 movie projectionists, dog babysitters, etc. perhaps Turtle Park and other federal venues could remain open. Special thanks, however, to those federal guards and police, who, I understand, have volunteered their duty time for free, but will, of course, be compensated after the shutdown.

Most of the damage done to the police and their cars may have been from them also accidentally ramming the annoying and dangerous multitude of Barrycades. Its a sorry situation for all, especially Ms. Carey's toddler. May we pray for all involved.

I think our government is jumpy.

Mr. Barrycade acted stupidly...

Be careful, the left will state you have “a mental illness” for stating the truth.

Death by Barrycade, good one.

Sounds like speculation to me. Were you there in the car with her? What was she doing in DC?

A little collateral damage from the Administration’s gamesmanship on creating hardships for the public to enhance their budget fight position

The more that comes out, the less this looks to be the case. She had a history of mental illness and reportedly was believing that Barry was stalking her. (Did nobody tell her about Reggie?)

"What was she doing in DC?"

She obviously did not collide with anything, the only thing blown out of the cars were the windows.

Has anyone ever had to pull a u-turn urgently?? I have, trying to turn around before going through the booths at the airport. I sure didn’t hit anything but I can kind of empathize with someone doing something similar as it appears this woman might have been doing.

Miriam may have navigated Washington, D.C. easily many times, but the barrycades probably confused her, especially with the stupid cops yelling and screaming at her. Obama’s fault.

This is just further proof that we need common sense gun legislation. This whole thing could have been avoided if we had reasonable gun control laws. /s

How many rounds were expended?

Were automatic military type assault firearms used?

Watch for Al and Jessie to show up saying it is Racist to shoot an unarmed black woman with a child in the car. Tick tock...

First death due to the government shutdown.

"..reportedly was believing that Barry was stalking her"

Barry is stalking us all. What with the NSA, IRS, invasive "medical" histories and all.
