While angry mobs roamed the countryside in search of food and water during the epic government shutdown, a loan woman braved barricades and gunfire to challenge the Teabagger inspired legislative log jam.
With her one year old child safely strapped in a government approved safety seat beside her, and disregarding the daunting hail of police gunfire ahead, Miriam Carey attempted to breach the impenetrable defensive perimeter surrounding the capitol building to deliver her message of hope for a beleaguered nation. Though mangled and broken by repeated contact with police barricades and assault vehicles, Ms. Carey's dilapidated Nissan Infiniti managed to carry her and the small child a few feet closer to her goal - but alas, their fate was finally sealed by a fatal gunshot wound.
“Listen, people are so frustrated and angry with members of Congress, particularly Republicans,” Mr. Rangel told Politicker today. “My first thought was that frustration ignited somebody already imbalanced and caused this type of thing.”
“God knows, the tragedy of this poor person who came on the Hill in a black car — no one knows what drive [sic] this person to do this — but what I would say to you is, let's get our wheels back on, serve the American people, bring them back, vote for a bill today that will open the government, I will stay here until we get that bill on the floor, piecemeal is undeserving of America.”

Charles Rangel (D-NY) later commented to the press on the unfortunate outcome:
“Listen, people are so frustrated and angry with members of Congress, particularly Republicans,” Mr. Rangel told Politicker today. “My first thought was that frustration ignited somebody already imbalanced and caused this type of thing.”
In an eloquently phrased statement Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) tearfully added:
“God knows, the tragedy of this poor person who came on the Hill in a black car — no one knows what drive [sic] this person to do this — but what I would say to you is, let's get our wheels back on, serve the American people, bring them back, vote for a bill today that will open the government, I will stay here until we get that bill on the floor, piecemeal is undeserving of America.”
