Shots fired at U.S.Capitol, female suspect killed

I suspect that if the capitol hill guards were part of the shutdown it would be resolved pretty quickly.

She messed up at least one cop car:

We don't really know enough to speculate on do we?


To my unprofessional eye the police seemed to have applied an appropriate level of restraint, not having shot the shit out of her and the car in the first instance.

Of course if it turns out she was driving a failed suicide car bomb, no doubt the media will be all over them.

White House has vehicle barriers all around it.

This is a very odd story. I imagine by the time we've more facts it'll be quite a sad one too.

Yeah, I think you're right.

No doubt, I figure the White House has to be one of the very best protected buildings in the world. 

But the way these death cult teams operate in Iraq and Afghanistan, we see an initial truck or car bomb, followed by 2/3 or more suicide bombers and then rifle armed insurgents used as they seek to penetrate each successive layer of a target's defences. 
So I think a car bomb doesn't fail if it only detonates 100 yards from the core target, it's could be part of a combined assault.

Though as we know, even if this woman were a terrorist, then it appears she acted alone.

Yes, given it involves a small child, it cannot be otherwise, whatever the woman's motivations, mental state or degree of miscommunication involved in the incident.

Just saw a pic of the lady.  She's black.  As I said last week after the Navy Yard thing, ban black people.

Seedy is going to be all in a twit. His sterotypes are being dashed.

That will disappoint quite a few people, some of them here.
