washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

anyone else darkly amused it turned out to be a black woman?

you had everyone putting on their best psychol analyst fbi expert hat and talking about how of course it was a white man probably a teaper and then bam

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

imma need some context for this okay

although I do find it kind of funny how people DO tend to go "OMG MUST BE CRAZY RIGHT WINGER" when there's a shooting, when most of the shooters eventually turn out to be crazy LEFT wingers. Crazy is crazy and all crazy that leads to shooting is bad, but please stop acting like only one side of the political spectrum goes all shoot-happy when that's completely untrue.

What Washington shooter?

Re: washington shooter

[chardmonster]

...she wasn't a shooter?

Are you like, an angry teapartier or something? I was relieved it was an unfortunate woman who'd just gone crazy and not something politically motivated but this was an unfortunate event and not particularly funny.

Re: washington shooter

[kelincihutan]

As far as everyone is being told, she not only didn't fire a shot, but didn't even have a gun. She was unarmed, apart from the car. All the shots fired came from the cops.

Which kind of makes me wonder why the cops were shooting at her...

I don't see where any of this is amusing, though. I was annoyed by the insta-assumptions of political motivation, but it wasn't funny.

Which kind of makes me wonder why the cops were shooting at her...

Because she drove through several security barriers and deliberately hit a guy with her car. Guns aren't the only weapons in the world.

Re: washington shooter

Fair point.

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

The only shooters were the cops. I haven't seen any surveys of their races and genders, so there may well have been a black woman among them!

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

Might you, perhaps, be confusing the Navy Yard shooter (a man) with the woman who ran her car into barricades and police cruisers near the White House and Capitol building (who did not shoot anyone)?

I never heard anyone in the media saying it had to be a white man. The fact that it was a woman was reported right away.

Re: washington shooter

[insanenoodlyguy]

Yeah, all the debate I saw (soemtimes removed entirely from race) is if they should have shot at her or not.

Which for the record I think was absolutely the right call. Once you go at cops with a lethal weapon (and tons of moving steel sure as hell counts) I do not expect them to come at her with anything less. Unless she was putting hands behind her head and lying down, I'd assume they were in the right in any scenario irregardless of race or who was in the car.

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I feel bad about this happening to her since it does seem she was not in her right mind and possibly didn't intend harm at all, but what the hell else were the cops supposed to do?

I'll be the first to admit that cops have used lethal force where it isn't justified and race factors into that big-time but this... just doesn't seem like an example to me.

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

Not cool, dude :( She had postpartum depression and didn't even shoot anything.

Re: washington shooter

[(Anonymous)]

There was a shooter? cause normally a shooter requires, well, a gun...and maybe some deaths...
