Story was updated but no other details as yet except as quoted above.

Any bets on how long before right-wing extremists publish that her child is Obama's?

1. I can here the crazy conspiracy nut jobs on the right

Believing this bullshit

[DonViejo]

2. The wingers have all ready accused the President of fathering

two black children!

[DebJ]

3. LOL n/t

[Heather MC]

8. Oh the Horror

I heard he has a secret black wife, and she is actually the one who runs the Government

[itcfish]

39. I Thought That Was

Bill Clinton who fathered 2 black children LOL

[carla]

4. What shooter?

I never heard of her having a gun, only a child and a car. Shooter?

[DebJ]

5. Very good point!!!! Let's see what they do with it. I'm still checking the page frequently.

I did hear initial reports that indicated she might have had a gun.

[DebJ]

6. That headline is still across the top of their page with no link, but I found another article

that was updated so I'll change my OP.

[DLnyc]

9. Yes, exactly.

I guess "shootee" doesn't sound as exciting.

[Cryptoad]

24. FAct of Life ,,,,

you try to run over Policemen with your car , odds are you going to be shot!

[snooper2]

30. what are you talking about, shooter is nowhere in the title or article

[itcfish]

40. Yesterday

The news kept saying a "shooter" That is why people are saying it today.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

7. Did she think that his Administration's agency, the NSA, was spying on her? What a nut case.

[LaydeeBug]

10. It's already happened on FB.

truly.

[jberryhill]

11. Folks are missing the big clue

She was a dental hygienist.

When the government puts radios in people's dental work, just how do you think they manage to get that done?

She had seen enough teeth to know what's really going on.

[jakeXT]

33. good movie

[CTyankee]

12. I heard that she suffered a head injury and wasn't quite right after it.

She lost her job because she was too rough with patients in the dentist office where she worked.

Geez, as if dentists didn't already have enough people scared of them...

[kentauros]

13. Reading of these details just saddens me all the more about her.

If she'd had access to good healthcare, maybe none of this would have happened at all.

[CTyankee]

14. How did she slip between the cracks?

I keep wondering how such as rich state as ours could not help her. If she had had a head injury, did she not get some medical attention somewhere along the line? And why didn't her employer wonder why she was acting so strangely after her injury. Did he/she not try to find out why her behavior was so erratic?

I'm hoping the press will start investigating what happened with her...

[kentauros]

15. There's no telling what her employer thought.

Sometimes people don't connect the dots and just assume it's an "attitude problem."

And I would assume that your local news would investigate and publish more about her than the national media will. Look to the local free papers, especially the weeklies, for better-quality investigative reporting. (Locally, we have The Houston Press, published by the Village Voice, as our best investigative news team.)

[CTyankee]

17. I've gotten disgusted by our New Haven Register. Besides, Stamford is in New York for all

people in the rest of CT care. It is a stop on the Metro North commuter train into Grand Central Station. My hope would be that the NYT would get the job done...

However, I'll be happy if I am wrong...not holding my breath, tho...

[kentauros]

18. Oh, that's too bad.

Here's the Village Voice story, though I see they also quote the New York Times:

Miriam Carey, Dental Hygienist Who "Made It Out" of East New York, Identified as Capitol Suspect

[snooper2]

31. Her employer thought she was doing a bad job

so employer fired her last year

(it's in the article )

[kentauros]

38. Yes,

but what isn't said, is what they truly thought was going on with her to cause her to do a bad job. I thought my wording was rather clear.

[Doctor_J]

26. The "cracks" in the US health care system are actually ravines

no matter where you live.

[n2doc]

27. People are free to be crazy in the USA

I mean it. The laws on mental health are so lax that basically, unless you commit a crime, you are free to go about your life as mentally ill as you 'want'. I had a loved one who became bipolar/delusional, and could do nothing to get them help as they insisted that they were 'fine' They believed they were receiving 'telepathy' from Rupert Murdoch. They finally were arrested for resisting arrest (basically ignoring an officer) and finally got committed to a mental hospital where they got some help. But it was a long, frustrating, and horrendous process. Maybe if this woman had done this stuff in a less sensitive environment, she might have gotten help also.

37. +1 nt

[itcfish]

41. Remember the

19 Children that were shot in Connecticut. How did that nut and his mother slip thru the cracks? It happens. Very sad.

[CTyankee]

42. That CT shooting caused an awful lot of self examination on the part of our state.

Our state legis. then passed much tougher gun control laws. We were all horrified. I suspect this case will be put under scrutiny. There are reports in the media that Stamford Hospital played a role in debacle of this woman's mental health neglect. CT needs to do better!

[blm]

16. It's apparent she was having mental health issues. RW media is NOT GOOD for

those people with a fragile grip on reality.

[DebJ]

19. If you listen to RW media, it is a foregone conclusion that you have a fragile grip

on reality that allowed you to listen in the first place.

[thecrow]

36. I was just wondering if she was a Faux viewer, or a Glen Beck or Rush zombie..

I hate it that our news is bipolar, and just what the talking heads want to report.

[AngryAmish]

20. Why was Obama stalking her???

I'm sure the freepers are all over that.

[CanSocDem]

21. It was reported on CNN this morning...

...that her husband had sought help for her after the birth of their child when she appeared depressed and delusional.

Because Post Partum Depression doesn't exist in the USA, she was never eligible for treatment. What she had was a streak of evil like that last mother that killed her kids.


.

[crim son]

22. Here in Maine I was

treated for severe post-partum depression, and it was covered under my (then) husband's health insurance. So, it exists as a diagnosis.

[CanSocDem]

29. I should have added...

...the "sarcasm" tag because I know very well that it exists. What doesn't exist, in my opinion, is an honest look at the social and psychological pressures that women face in bringing a child into this world.

I think all new mothers need appropriate counseling throughout the pregnancy and birth. This is why I support MidWife programs and the movements to 'de-medicalize' childbirth.

I object to the public demonizing of mothers who kill their children. Replacing a mothers love with lethal malice is surely a mental illness. Too often the MSM runs with extremist speculating rather than deal with the lack of public health.

I apologize for not being clear.

[Cryptoad]

23. That batch of Koolaid was too strong! nt

[Doctor_J]

25. Was her car radio tuned to Limpballs, beck, Alex Jones, Levin, Liddy, North, Ingraham,

Medved, or Fox? Had to be one of those.

[LynneSin]

28. Give it a few weeks and Daryl Issa will have a massive investigation on this

Claiming that Barack Obama was indeed stalking Miriam Carey.

[groundloop]

34. Daryl Issa needs to be evaluated for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder....

Seriously, it's truly sad how mental disorders are treated (or rather not treated) in this country.

[DebJ]

32. Just reported now that the police found medications in her apartment

for schizophrenia, bipolar and depression.

note: using drugs approved for schizophrenia does NOT mean one has been diagnosed
with schizophrenia.

[Kablooie]

35. Ah. So it's Obama's fault. He was stalking her.

Impeach him!




I hope you realize this is

43. Teabillies on twitter were pushing that very theory on twitter last night!
