I think it's a simple case of the LEO's completely overreacting... and the government/media is saying "move along, nothing to see here"
I have to agree with you. This was moved upon and lain out at light speed by the lame-stream media. Mysteries upon mysteries.
Here is why I will be skeptical about the explanation being set up by the media and authorities.
We are supposed to infer that because she was mentally ill (pick your diagnosis) Carey traveled to DC to harm either the President or members of congress or take your pick; the point is “Dangerous women goes berserk!” and “Thank G the brave police stopped her before she could kill someone!”
Now her illness may very well explain her reactions to being confronted when she tried backing up when this all began. But one can not presume it explains why she was in DC in the first place. If we are supposed to infer that she meant to harm somebody because of other such patterns of behavior involving other mentally ill people, I must ask “o.k. but where was the gun?”
I mean after all she was convinced some person was a threat to her or to the whole world or to baby ducks everywhere. Doesn’t matter how real the threat was just that she perceived it was so. Now she is determined to make sure this person is exposed or stopped or brought to justice. She must stop him. She must protect herself from him. How much sense would it make for somebody suffering from such a delusion to go off and confront the big, bad, evil without any kind of weapon?
We know being mentally ill is not really a bar to obtaining a gun. So why didn’t she do so? Did she really think she would drive her car up the WH lawn or Capitol steps and vanquish her foe with the assault auto?
The other thing is that I am very sure she would have known the best way to access and approach her intended target. She would not have gone to some back entry which was obviously barricaded and tried to ram her way past security. The mentally ill are ill not stupid.
Even “suicide by cop does not explain it.” Again if that was her motive where was the gun? She could be about 100% certain if she drew down on LEO they would shoot her. Trying to back up and turn around at security? Maybe? Maybe not?
I am sick of the media writing the story we are supposed to accept without any questions. I think something stinks here and I hope a better investigation is forthcoming.
SO ... When was executing the mentally ill an acceptable method of treatment?
