The problem i encountered while taking a dump was previous users aim wasn't always true and you'd have to hold your pants up else they'd drop down into someones piss. While i'm on that subject, Americanized areas with lots of bars had piss trough's installed in unisex bathrooms. Any female would walk by a wall of dudes lined up at the trough on the way to the stall where she closed the door.

But as always, the farther you got away from an American base, the closer you got to the real culture. I was all up and down that penninsula from TDY's to "Turn and burns". Drove much of it by myself even though i was supposed to have a partner.

'Mass Panic': Car chase from White House to Capitol ends with suspect dead

Quote:
Police confirmed late Thursday that the suspect was killed, after being struck by officers' gunfire.
I heard the suspect was female. Anywho....

Officials said the incident all began with a car chase, which started when the suspect, driving a black sedan with Connecticut plates, tried to ram a barrier near the White House.

Several police cars pursued her to a location near the Capitol building. When they boxed her in, sources said, the driver got out and five or six shots were fired.

Officers confirmed that a 1-year-old baby was taken from the car and is now in good condition.
I have to wonder if the cops over reacted a bit, but I wasn't there. Odds are they are all keyed up with all the poltiical BS going on right now. In any event, an irresponsible mother (im assuming) just orphaned a child.

Also a factor that tends to get overlooked is that you should give the type and color that........

Ah you sly devil you dead flowers.:yep:

My wife usually likes it most to receive a free trip some place without me tagging along.

To be fair, that is how most people in Connecticut drive, or at least the ones who own sports cars and pickup trucks do.

She probably saw a walk signal turn on and slammed on the accelerator before the pedestrian could start walking.

I watched the video, hard to say by what I saw, but you take off pointing your vehicle at a cop they'll usually shoot. Wonder if she was peod about the shutdown?

A car is not a deadly weapon to you? When driven with the intent to cause injury it most certainly is a deadly weapon and this person had already hit one cop and nearly several more.I highly doubt this has anything to do with the shutdown and everything to do with crazy or doped up.

Only parts of the incident where filmed.It looks alike a fairy justified use of deadly force to me.

Times like these it seems like the cops get a bad rap but not all is known but from can be gathered it looks like they had no other option.Seems like when cops make serious errors they get noticed but when they display very good judgment they do not get any praise.

I saw one video this woman was tearing round in a car driving like mad finally the cops get her car stopped and they and the woman jump out she was holding her purse up near her chest with her hand inside making like she had a gun which really there was no way to see if she did or not.So the cops did not shoot her and they tackled her instead and they od course had guns drawn.This woman of course had not tried to run down anyone with he car.Turned out she was a paranoid schizophrenic and she had not taken her medication for some time.

If the suspect is in a car ans has already used that car as a deadly weapon then the the cops or any person would be fully justified in the use of deadly force to stop that person from using that car as a weapon.

It was an Infinity maybe she cloud not afford it and was angry at her own poor financial skills but could not stand to lose her status symbol.

In other words suicide by cop she knew that such actions in DC in such a high security area would result in assured use of deadly force she wanted to keep driving the car and trying to ram cops until they used deadly force to stop her.A bad outcome for all parties if you ask me.It would also explain why the daughter was with her she wanted to take the child with her in death.

Is that a 'sucking up' bouquet for a minor nuptual faux pas or a measured cadenced march to a 'happy ending' along with dinner and a primo vino Rear Admiral?:up:

Well I can't argue with that.

Similar to congress, I am so far in debt with The Frau that it is more paying off the interest than the principal. :D

Let's face it, chicks dig dead things. Personally, I always preferred to give plants to my ladies. Something that was alive. Nope, gotta be dead flowers. :06:

I offered to give The Frau a dead puppy for her birthday but she said it was not the same. Go figure women. :doh:

But hey, if she likes dead and decaying flowers, so be it. But at least I get to pick out the colour. :yep:

I didn't watch the video, just saw an article, read most of it, and linked it.

I'm not sure when they shot her. Sadly, she was probably mentally ill, who knows. It's tough, many people get got for going off meds or some issue that if resolved, they can be normal.

Once in my town the cops shot a lady that was in diabetic shock, she wouldn't/couldn't stop for the blue light, so cop spun her out. He stood in front of her car as she was spinning tires to get out of ditch, probably didn't know her foot was on the pedal. When she finally moved forward, he shot several times through front window killing her. Since he stood in front of the car, he claimed she was going to run him over and they deemed he was justified.

I'm sure new info is out today, haven't checked yet.

Just for your info the German guy does everything to overemphasise several hard sounding parts in the words while the others where trying to say things as softly as possible. Normal German doesn't sound like that.;)

Still funny though.:D

So far we have this list on possible causes. Question is, why the White House?

No kidding, my wife does the bills and she never lets that life insurance on me lapse; Like Michael Jackson, I'm worth more dead than alive...OOH what a thread idea: you know you were a success when you earn more dead than you did above ground!:dead::stare:

According to CNN, medications for schizophrenia and other disorders were found in her apartment.

While there may be a reason, it's very possible that it was a reason that only made sense to her.

AVGWarhawk 10-04-13 12:05 PM
CNN? I will take that under advisement. :hmmm:

When someone mentioned terror I said directly that's no terror. Maybe a try on doing some terror.

It's not their way of working. The terrorist works, as you may know, among civilians, where it's a lot easier to imply lots of harm and destruction.

Attacking the White House...well...here you need...more training than these 2-3 month training in some terror camp in Africa

The story however is very sad. I guess we will never learn why she acted as she did.

AVGWarhawk 10-04-13 12:28 PM
The question is, why did she feel she was being watched by Obama? NSA? :hmmm:
