Moontanman Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 A woman with a 1 yo child in a car seat was killed today in Washington, she was obviously deranged and her behavior was threatening but was her death really necessary? I've watched the tapes released so far and while i understand that a car can be a weapon her actions looked more like a panic stricken person trying to get away than a person trying to use her car as a weapon... thoughts discuss?

waitforufo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I agree with your comment about a panic stricken person trying to get away. I think the deranged part is simply speculation. I have known people who have hit and run during an automobile accident. The running was just part of the panic. When your fight or flight instinct chooses flight, I'm not sure you are still in rational control. Same goes for fight, which in part is why we have self defense laws.

Phi for All Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I haven't seen any tapes, but whatever security was available had probably been warned to expect attempts on government locations during the shutdown. Wrong behavior in the wrong place at an extremely wrong time. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
