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...

Fox News just said it was a woman and 3 kids.<<<

Woman and kids: Reminds me of the Iraqi terrorists
who sent women and kids to bomb American checkpoints.

Never let your guard down.

Never trust what you see.

[Joy Angela]

Lady with three children drove through a barricade.

SS shot out her tires. <<<<

I love seeing our Tax Dollars at work!

It's good to know the Secret Service
is doing their job,

Keep up the good work guys!

[Joy Angela]

Hillary is the queen of down-talking, she has a different accent for every crowd

We should get tapes of Hillary-on-the-road.

[Joy Angela]

does not look like there is a connection this time

but we need to be careful so that these mishaps are not used as a dress rehearsal for something else.

The left is slick enough to try it
or maybe even whisper to a mom to drive
through and see what happens.

We sometimes forget how dedicated and
obedient communist party members are.

The Terrorist M.O.
There's no need to know "why" just do it.

[Joy Angela]

>>Here is my eyewitness account: I was standing about 5 feet away from the car while she was navigating around the second patrol car. Just before entering the road leading around the stadium a SWAT officer approached her with a drawn gun. She proceeded anyway. She had two young kids in her car who were yelling "Please Mom stop". After she drove around the second car the chase begun. I would say that within 1 minute of the chase they had her apprehended.<<<

A woman on a mission.

By the way, did the AP interview you for your perspective?

Or was the AP more interested in Bush's twang...

[Joy Angela]

re 62

SO FUNNY!

I didn't even think of that.

You ARE a genius!!

[Joy Angela]

>>I am not sure that it was a deliberate act. My personal opion is that she just lost it, propably just trying to get around the temporary road blocks being set up in preparation for the President's departure. She must have taken the side street which unfurtunately directly led to the event building. Like I said earlier she seemed very disturbed.<<


All leftist-zombies are disturbed.

[barker]

Accidents? Coincidence?

Let's hope so. There seem to have been several of these "accidents" concerning our President and I don't like it at all.

[chainsaw]

What a great idea! However, it would be X-rated, at best, and would never make it to network tv!

But it could be on top of the CD sales charts.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

HILLARY and her Anti-U.S. Anarchist Minions want our Chief Protector BUSH outta their way...

...no matter what.


Seems HILLARY's ..'THE Woman standing up to BUSH'.. is now bringing on Mothers with their kids crashing into Buildings wherever he may be ...in Time of War.

...Prepare for much, much more of this HILLARYspeak.


FIREwatch = HILLARYwatch

Horn Lake woman crashes into Civic Center

Authorities guard the car that breached security during President George W. Bush's visit to the DeSoto Civic Center on Saturday. The DeSoto Times has learned the driver has been identified as Betina Mixon, 29, of Horn Lake.
SOUTHAVEN - A Horn Lake woman was taken into custody Saturday morning after she drove her car into the DeSoto County Civic Center where President George Bush was delivering a speech.

Law enforcement officers on the scene said the woman, identified as 29-yearo-old Betina Mixon, apparently drove through a police checkpoint on a perimeter road to the south of the arena, jumped a curb and then drove at the building and crashed into a loading dock. The area was on an upper level and about 40 yards from where the president's limousine and motorcade were assembled.

The president’s life was never in danger,” said J. Michael Pearson, resident agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Jackson bureau. “The
president’s safety was not in danger.”

Pearson said the investigation was ongoing and he could not give much information about the incident. He said Mixon breached the police checkpoint but did not breach the president’s
security.

There were conflicting reports as to whether there were two or three children in the car at the time. The president was in his limo but had not left the building when the breach occurred.

Three young food service workers at the Civic Center said they witnessed the incident from the loading dock where the woman’s car crashed.

“We had come out to watch the president leave and he was in his limousine and was pulling out when she drove up,” said Joshua Wharton, 18, of Olive Branch.

Wharton said two of the president’s motorcade vehicles blocked the entrance to the loading area where his car was located and the limousine backed up until the area was secure. The president was then driven to the Memphis
International Airport, where Air Force One was waiting to take him to his next campaign
stop in Paducah, Ky.

Chad Payton, 18, of Horn Lake, said the woman was screaming as she drove up to the building in a late model Toyota Camry.

“You could hear her yelling the whole time,” Payton said.

Mixon was immediately taken into custody and is
being held in the DeSoto County jail. Pearson said Secret Service agents would question her as the investigation continues.

[The car rammed through a police checkpoint[

Obviously it was not a very good checkpoint.

Hasn't this been the standard response after a terrorist operation blows through security?

[TNVolunteer]

No, AP did not interview us. Well, that's why this site is more informative.

[bvw]

"You could hear her yelling the whole time,"

Ooops! Sounds like a "viking kittie" got into the catnip! (To update my earlier top-notch analysis,)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

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.

Now THAT'S a frightening revelation!

[mewzilla]

while the FBI was trying to flag the car down...

Sigh. Please, pretty please, pull over your car, madame nutball. Yup, that worked really well.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

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.

Yes. The media folks and the "sensible" Democrats must understand that there is more at stake than the political game. But IMO many of them are just raving political lunatics. They could care less if the entire ship of state sank as long as they had their chance at the helm, even if only to ride her to the bottom.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Anyway, looks like they got her...
