Reports of Gunman Outside Capitol

[MOBIUS]

I laughed my ass off and I'm not ashamed of it. This of course doesn't mean I condone what she did, but ****, it's kinda funny. Except for the part where a cop got hurt.

I'd be ashamed of that kind of behaviour...

A woman is needlessly dead and you think it's funny.

Yeah, I find this story incredibly sad. Woman shot in front of a baby, presumably her child.

I also feel a bit sorry for the cops who shot her. Awful situation to be put in, and people were in danger. I can't imagine how they felt when they found out there was a baby in the car.

I do think they could have found away to deal with this without shooting though.

Her mother, Idella Carey, told ABC News her daughter began suffering from post-partum depression after having her daughter, Erica, last August.

“She had post-partum depression after having the baby” she said. She added, “A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed. ... She was hospitalized.”

A horribly tragedy.

Can't really see what's funny about it.

Laughing about tradedy is a natural and healthy human response though.

Before I was a parent I always thought parents took **** involving kids too seriously. Now I understand.

Can everyone just stop being a dick for a little while?

Me? What did I do?

I'm with MikeH. This is a horrible situation.

You and HC really are the same person, aren't you...?

She apparently also thought that Obama (personally?) had her under electronic surveillance.

[Sava]

More proof that blaming Obama is only something a deranged mind would do.

Apparently a man has set fire to himself at the national mall.

I never understood that.

[kentonio]

Hell no. The pain must be indescribable.

[MOBIUS]

It's all happening in DC!
