“Don’t try to drive your vehicle into the White House Gates and then go nuts driving all over the streets of DC.”

Yeh its called reckless driving. Check out the DC definition of reckless driving and penalties posted below:

RCW 46.61.500
Reckless driving — Penalty.

(1) Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving. Violation of the provisions of this section is a gross misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for up to three hundred sixty-four days and by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars.

(2)(a) Subject to (b) of this subsection, the license or permit to drive or any nonresident privilege of any person convicted of reckless driving shall be suspended by the department for not less than thirty days.

Guess what? Nowhere is the penalty death by multiple rounds of gunfire.

Still posting the vehicle code from Washington state, I see.

Go look up the code on Vehicular Assault and Third-degree assault, and at least the people living in Washington state will know the applicable laws.

You might also want to stop slandering the people that think the police acted lawfully. That's a lot different from what they should have done, or could have done. But, if you don't like the law, change it.

“Guess what? Nowhere is the penalty death by multiple rounds of gunfire.”

Nice try, but it has nothing to do with a “penalty”, or what crime you think she would have been accused of. If she put people’s lives in danger, they had every right to use lethal force to defend themselves, and others, from her.

Either we are for self defense for everyone, including cops, or we aren’t. If we decide to ignore that right just because we want to rant against the government now, then we’ll be a laughingstock when we try to invoke that right the next time a Zimmerman comes along.

What do the RCW have to do with this event in DC?
