DC attacker was a single mom with ‘every reason to live’
NY Post ^ | 10/3/13 | Jennifer Bain

Friends and former Brooklyn neighbors recalled Miriam Carey as a hardworking single mother who had every reason to live.

“She had everything going for her,” said Yolanda Napoleon, 40. “A beautiful baby, a man helping her with her baby, a job making 100k per year. Her child was her everything.”

Carey, 34, was a dental hygienist who was licensed in both New York and Connecticut. She lived in Brooklyn as recently as 2005 and had a condo in Stamford, Conn.

Friends, who grew up with her and her four sisters on Stanley Avenue in Brooklyn, were mystified about how Carey’s life came to end in a fiery confrontation with several police and Secret Service agents

there's a 93% chance she was an Obama voter last year.

MSM will have a hard time spinning this.

"Apparently, an unarmed black female with a 1 year old baby is a danger to DC."

Well, they're certainly an endangered species.

“Very sad. She looks like a nice young woman. Strange. Im wondering if all the faux barrycades confused her. And she panicked.”

That’s what I think happened. Maybe they drew their guns when she was trying to turn around. I bet we don’t get to see all the video, just what makes her look out of control.

Nailed it

Sad

Pretty interesting to see the menagerie of forces that were engaged against a retard with poor driving skills

Perhaps they can create a new agency, the Department of Lost Woman Drivers, to address this situation.

A billion bucks initial budget, 5,000 “employees”.

An interview with her employer from last year disputes her being mentally unstable. She did have a head injury about two years ago as I recall the interview, she was hospitalized, had a kid during that period, returned to work but they later let her go for minor compatibility issues.

She was not described as “a person with problems.”

News reports will say anything to get your attention; anything.

And anything to cover their pals.

Have you noticed that none of those news reports actually provides a shred of evidence whatsoever to indicate that she had any such problem?

Didn't they say that about the Rolling Stones reporter, the Kennedy wife, the intern who died in Scarboro's office, the Washington Madam, and the lesbian intern who was shot in Starbucks?

Just trigger-happy goon s without a canine to shoot. They only hesitated to kill her at the first stop because she was a black female.

Pardon me for the interruption in the typical and traditional info sharing, speculation, wit, wisdom and, yes, nit wittery. It’s what we do here.

Just have a look at my tagline and give it a think. In case you had not heard, Jim’s surgery is over and it went well. It would be nice if we could get a big chunk of the money in on the front end and be done with it soon.

My bad. A woman with a 1 year old child in the backseat of her car ramming “barrycades” (I like that term) is every bit in her right mind and sane as the day is long.
