Woman shot and killed in US for making a wrong turn WTF If we are to believe the eyewitnesses, the woman just may have been a victim of making a wrong turn at a security checkpoint. According to testimony provided by Oregon residents B.J. and Susan Campbell in the Washington Post, the couple saw a black sedan driven by a woman heading west on Pennsylvania Avenue and into a security checkpoint at 15th Street and Pennsylvania NW. The driver went about 20 yards, B.J. Campbell said, before rapidly turning the car around at the concrete security barriers. “The Secret Service guy was just having a cow,” B.J. Campbell said. “Yelling at her and banging on the car.” The Secret Service officers pulled a black metal gate into her path and she slowed to try to go around it. Then the agent moved the gate in front of her again. At that point “she just gunned it,” B.J. Campbell said. “She ran the barricade down and the guy; was knocked up onto her hood. He rolled off into the street, and she tore off down Pennsylvania Avenue.” The whole encounter lasted about 20 seconds, he said. The officers fired. When the car came to 2nd and Constitution, police fired again. It is at this point that the woman was killed. Her one year old baby was unharmed. Can anyone now say with a straight face that all the talk of suspects, terrorist threats, possible threats to the president don’t come off as convenient fiction or a simulation? The witnesses say nothing about the driver being a threat. She did not ram the gates of the White House. However, all of these possibilities of something far more fatalistic give a reason for probable cause in the court of public opinion for a shoot first ask questions later outcome. It is typical of a media that encourages the disarming of Americans and marginalizes them as guilty perps if they are being followed by red and blue lights. Which once again brings up the right of due process that many Americans believe is unneeded because of the perceived right by authorities to shoot and kill with impunity.
