© Advanced Periodontics Miriam Carey (right), is the woman identified in news reports as the shot to death in front of her daughter by Capitol Hill police on Thursday afternoon. This photo is from a newsletter announcing her having been hired as a hygenist at a Connecticut periodontics practice.
According to the New York Post and the New Haven Register newspapers, Carey, a 34-year-old dental hygenist, was involved in the episode that began when she allegedly rammed her black Infiniti luxury sedan into a barricade near the White House. The incident ended when Carey led police on a high-speed car chase towards the U.S. Capitol. After repeatedly warning Carey to stop and get out of her car, the Capitol Police shot and killed her.
The altercation led to the U.S. Capitol being locked down for a brief period of time after shots rang out near Garfield Circle, in the vicinity of the Hart Senate Office Building.

ABC News reported that Carey had "a history of mental health issues."
Mayer, an anti-nuclear activist, threatened to blow up the Washington Monument. He was killed by Park Police as he was BACKING his van from the Washington Monument. The excuse was the fear he would use the explosives he claimed to carry in the van to blow up something else in DC.
Maybe Miriam Carey's assassination will finally wake people up to the fact that our government is evil. Maybe now, people will finally rise up, remove this government and punish its criminals. This is most likely our last chance. If we do not use it, we deserve the consequences.
