Update from Drudge:

"A car penetrated the security perimeter around the arena where President Bush was speaking Saturday and rammed the building. Authorities swarmed the vehicle... AUTHORITIES SHOT OUT THE TIRES; CRASHED INTO LOADING DOCK OF ARENA...

[TheOtherOne]

No. Considering the risk of a car bomb, I would think the SS is not pleased to have had a car ram the building the President was speaking in.

[Theodore R.]

Was it an SUV?

[Mo1]

Great reporting

I saw the video and it seems like she put up a fight when they were arresting her

Let me guess, she is a member of Moveon.org??

[mewzilla]

How the heck did this wench get where she got?

[Mo1]

I have no idea .. but with two small kids in the back screaming for mommy to stop

My guess is the SS/Swat wouldn't shoot unless absolutely necessary

Their #1 priority is the President and if he was in her path, this could have ended a lot worse then it did

[Wait4Truth]

Yes, mewzilla, there was another recent incident such as this one. I am not very happy with the SS lately, that's for sure. If something happens to President Bush due to the SS not doing their job, this country will go into a tailspin and we will have lost a very wonderful leader. Vigilance must be increased.

[BurbankKarl]

Democrat Jihadist....

this is what all the rhetoric of the 9 dwarves brings

[frithguild]

A witness, Linda Neeley, 40, a teacher from Horn Lake, Miss., said the woman was white, 35-40 years old, with blonde hair.

Was she wearing a lettuce bikini?

The car rammed through a police checkpoint

Obviously it was not a very good checkpoint.

[mewzilla]

I have no idea .. but with two small kids in the back screaming for mommy to stop.

My guess is the SS/Swat wouldn't shoot unless absolutely necessary.

You can bet a terrorist will be thinking that to get to the prez he should just surround himself with kids.

[ArneFufkin]

How sad. She was such a pistol on the Schiavo threads.

[Ima Lurker]

You are right. From what I read it was airport employees who finally stopped the car while the FBI was trying to flag the car down.

[MissAmericanPie]

Isn't this the second time something like this has happened? Didn't a woman crash through a tarmac gate at the air port and drive her car towards Air Force One?

What ever happened with that?

[Mo1]

You can bet a terrorist will be thinking that to get to the prez he should just surround himself with kids.

Yes I know, which is what ticks me off about these idiots that do this stuff

IMO .. they do nothing but help the terrorists

A car penetrated the security perimeter around the DeSoto Civic Center where President Bush was speaking Saturday and rammed the building. Fewer than five minutes after the car crashed at a slow speed into a loading dock area at the arena, Bush's motorcade left for his next stop, in Paducah, Ky. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

Authorities took away the driver, a woman, and three children who were with her. Bush was inside the building when the incident happened and was not hurt. He left the arena shortly afterward from an exit about 40 yards from the car. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

I agree with you too, but for some reason it seems to be in vogue here at FreeRepublic to make fun of people who are concerned about such things.

[ladyinred]

The constant bashing and hatred being spewed from the mouths of liberal media and the democrats et al is stirring up the nuts. I fear for the President's safety.

[debg]

yup, according to a witness:

"They got her out of the car and put the handcuffs on, and she was fighting them," Neeley said. "The police officer was lying on top of her."

[ladyinred]

Oh sure, NOW I read your post! :-)
