A troubled young mother is shot dead and our ruling class applauds.
An unarmed 34-year-old woman suffering from postpartum depression is surrounded by the authorities while sitting in her car, and gunned down in cold blood. She is blocked in. She cannot move. And yet she is killed by heavily armed security officers. Her one-year old child witnesses this from the back seat. Why is this not a national tragedy?
Miriam Carey was a young African-American woman who wanted to better herself. She went to college and graduated with a BA degree in health and nutrition science. She became a dental hygienist. One of her neighbors noted that it was obvious she was educated. She gave birth to her daughter a year ago and began to suffer from postpartum depression. She displayed some irrational behavior and was put on medication.
Thus far it’s not an uncommon story. About 50% of women who give birth suffer from postpartum depression. A friend of mine was on medication for more than 8 years after her daughter was born. This might conceivably happen to my daughter. Or to one of Obama’s daughters, come to think of it.
Then, on October 3, Miriam crashed her car into a security barrier near the White House. She was surrounded by security men shouting at her and pointing high-power guns. Was it so irrational to try to escape, to protect her daughter from men pointing pistols at her? A chase ensued, and she then crashed her car into a median somewhere in the vicinity of the Congress. She was blocked by security forces from several agencies. She could not move. She was unarmed, and alone save for her daughter. In her car, unprotected. And then she was killed...

I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE CAPS THAT I’M YELLING AT YOU!!! LA LA LA LA LA! And you offered no debate. Just sad rationalizations for murder.
I put the blame overall on the family of this woman, they failed in there responsibility in having her get help and on the woman herself who should have taken the time a long time ago to get help.
The baby that was found in the car was the real victim in all this.
I stand by my position once and for all, let the investagation do its work.
The town who fired the cops was the county seat-the only city in this county, with population less than 900-I don’t live there, but about 18 miles away in a rural area of the county. Since the spanking that city got, the new LEOs have stayed pretty low key-what happened once can happen again if people get pissed off...
Sounds like mine. County name same as the name of the town? Starts with a “B”?
If so, I went through there two weekends ago. Three separate cars writing tickets.
Listen to your clip a couple of more times, Uncle Chip.
At 0:55 “That’s where the gunfire began.”
She then describes the baby being pulled from the car. After the baby was pulled from the car, she indicates more gunfire.
I hear this sequence.
Shots Fired
Baby pulled from car
More shots fired
This one statement is not definitive in any way shape or form.
"I heard the gunshots, I saw the policeman shooting, it appeared someone got out, and then there was a rush of people..."
Was she given conflicting orders by the police there. Were some yelling "put your hands on the wheel where I can see them" and others yelling "get out of the car".
Did some shoot her because she didn't get out of the car fast enough and then did others shoot her after she did???
