(84,711 posts)cared for in the arms of the Capitol Police and the video of her driving erratically seemed to say there was something very wrong there. I don't fault Capitol Police or SS...because How were they to know her background. And, they seemed to hold off until she seemed to be a threat they couldn't ignore.
Who knows...more will come out....but, on the face of the latest info...it does sound very sad that whatever drove her to this was some sort of mental breakdown.
Goodness knows....we are living in trying times where we all are very stressed. Gotta be hard on those of us who are fragile to begin with.
But...still...so much we don't know. But, if this is true I pray for her daughter and glad neighbor or relative was able to take their little dog out of the place they lived. That may be the comfort to the little child that's been left behind in this horrendous situation in the future.
