Car looks black & unarmed to me.

Black cars matter!

It was a nice SUV. Workin’ on its GED an’ rap album.

Ah, a “gentle giant” of an SUV...

Getting ready for press briefing now? (at WUSA video link near top of this thread)

ahahahah - Just what I was going to ask!

As a writer, semi-retired at 80 - i.e., got a real education - I am appalled at the headlines and misspellings that permeate today’s media.

It’s like nails on a blackboard!

Yes, they must have changed it again.

Macht nichts.

It’s just outdated Google. No conspiracy, although if the Feds wanted it covered up I would not be surprised, and that would be proper.

Hmmm... A lot of strange things have been happening in the country these days. Armed men entering the White House, attempts to climb the fence, CIA scandals, gate rammings, etc... If someone were going to try to foment a coup, it would look a lot like this...

I would put NOTHING past Obama.

Will police be charged with a hate crime, since the driver was a cross-dresser?

[Squantos]

And it’s tires were up .....yet... Them tires was black.

Picture of car after shooting. Witnesses say that the car was unarmed.

Paramechanics on the scene tried to jump start the car's engine, but were unable to get a pulse. The car was shot in the carburetor and the air filter.

Wow, someone pointed out to me that this is an entrance off of 295, Balt-Wash Parkway. I wasn’t even aware (I go by 32 all the time, and assume NSA is very closed).

So, it IS accurate, it’s just we’re looking at the wrong entrance. It’s the connector road that turns into Canine Rd.

But it is still not “Llewellyn Ave” in Ft. Meade!

Bad information again.

I don't know when the last time was that a car was made with a carburetor, but it sure wasn't an Escape or anything of that vintage!

Tires up, don’t shoot.
Tires up, don’t shoot.

“Will police be charged with a hate crime, since the driver was a cross-dresser?”

Best line on the thread!!

That would make sense - the checkpoint on the connector road in that location is shown as having four lanes, and other features (such as the contour of the medians in the area) look like they match what was shown in the helicopter images.

The possibility that the perps entered the area by mistake and crashed through a barrier at the checkpoint out of panic (due to having contraband in the car) in an attempt to flee by turning around just past the checkpoint might be a viable explanation for the incident.

Sure sucks to be them, huh...

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

I thought Maryland SUV Season did not start till October?

...while dressed as women. Right.
