My first thought in all this was very simple.
If a Mentally confused Woman driving her car in a panicked state can cause the entire Capitol Police Force and some Secret Service Agents to come off looking like the Keystone Cops, what would an organized Terror Attack accomplish?
From the looks of things, real Terrorists would have had a field day.
Remember Boston, thousands of Cops, Fourth Amendment Rights shredded and they were hunting down a punk Kid. The City cowered, a bastion of pussies afraid of their own shadows while letting the “Authorities” take complete control of their lives.
Sadly, this is the State of our Society. Remember, we’re the crazy ones.
And don't think that the real terrorists aren't watching and thinking the same thing. Seeing how easily distracted the glorified security guards protecting the White House and capitol are makes this an inspirational event for real terrorists everywhere. What they see is a shameful lack of good training, discipline, control and a completely ineffective command structure. If they actually were demoralized as the Obama administration has claimed repeatedly then they are not any more.
God help us if this had been an actual organized plot with the same number of participants as the September 11th attacks. It is a well known terror tactic in real life and in the movies to draw attention away from the actual target with some sort of diversion. They also tend to set off a small bomb and then when all of the first responders show up they set off a larger bomb. We have just demonstrated how vulnerable we are to any type of diversionary tactic.
Lets just hope that lesson will be learned from this shameful show of unprofessional conduct. In professional circles around the world I can guarantee that others were shocked at how stupid we can be made to look by one hysterical woman who was probably just lost and then attempted to evade capture. Shame on the secret service and the capitol police they have brought shame to law enforcement personnel all over the country.
