Alright...now we have our nice distraction to pass clean CR in order to show solidarity with those injured most put politics aside.
Maybe this will be a disgruntled checkless vet upset about not being able to enter the Capitol..can blame any injury on the GOP?
Takes over the news cycle for the day and the fact the Pres met with the Big bankers and audited Ben Carson for embarrassing him at the breakfast last year or the fact that the Care act website was malfunctioning and not due to the exxagerated media numbers..along with Boehner and Reid info being leaked yesterday that they carved themselves out of the bill...

Yup... Either that or the guy will be found with an AR-15 wearing a Rand Paul shirt running around with a sack of Silver and Gold coins.

Well,   it's a calculated risk to "assume" in DC that if somebody crashes a car into a political building it's a politically motivated "attack". 

She had no risk for saying it and - if she turned out to be right - she'd get bragging rights for "insightful reporting".

"WASHINGTON (Sept. 24, 2014) -- Seeing emergency vehicles and first provocateurs in action unfortunately are not new to the residents of the National Capital Region, but beginning Sept. 30 thru Oct. 3, those images will not be a sign that something has gone terribly wrong, but that various government agencies are preparing for the next (false flag attack on cowering citizens)."

CAPITOL SHOOTING STARTED WHEN WOMAN TRIED TO RAM GATE AT WHITE HOUSE, THEN FLED. WAS SHOT WHILE TRYING TO HIT OFFICER. 

Apparently Monica came back looking for a job and the old lying bitty that worked for Bill isn't around anymore to let her in.

If it was a Tesla it would have been in flames since they can't handle any impact with something made of metal.

See!  See!  I'm always telling people Lexus drivers are assholes.  Here's the perfect example.  That's exactly how they drive during rush hour.  I've had them swerve in front of me before, but I've never seen one try to swerve in front of the white house.

Re:  See!  See! 

I think ZH News is finally getting to the bottom of this complex story.

The asshole Luxus driver probably ran a red light while giving the finger to the traffic cam and somebody clipped her rearend causing the car to swerve into the white-house gate.   The guard, seeing that she was just an asshole Lexus driver, took the opportunity to just shoot her.   

I think he did the right thing too.

Wanted the CASH NOW...and the door man was furloughed...so bumped the door (a little too hard).

So far my cynicism has decoded this story in the following way:

A woman was driving stupidly, as woman do.  A bunch of armed thugs dressed in SWAT outfits decided she got too close to whatever building they were guarding, and pretended in their minds that here is actually a terror threat in America.  So the miltarized police thugs playing army lit her up, and those were all the shots fired.  The car coasted into piece of cement barrier due to the fact the driver was killed.

They're now reporting a child was also in the car.

I suspect the woman passed out at the wheel, her foot hit the accelerator and she crashed into a barrier...simplez

Bet you she was drunk or high or both and accidently rammed into the blockcade over at the White House and was shot at when she refused to pull over down the road by the Capitol building is the real story here.

I bet you thunder thighs in the red dress hasn't moved that fast since they ran down to the last packet of low fat salad dressing at the cafeteria at work.
