Capitol Punishment: Unarmed mom with health issues shot by Capitol Police

Full Excerpt; 

When it emerged that the woman shot dead by police on Capitol Hill was a depressed single mother, questions surfaced as to why police fired a stream of bullets at an unarmed driver who had an eighteen month old baby in the back of her car.

New details surrounding the death of Miriam Carey are swiftly changing the story’s turn of events: originally, one in which she was accused of being armed and confronted by police heroics during a government shutdown, into one about over-zealous police gunning down an emotionally-troubled woman in front of her child.

The 34-year old dental hygienist from Connecticut had been hospitalized after suffering previous bouts of depression, which began after the birth of 18-month old Erica. “She had postpartum depression after having the baby,” the victim’s mother, Idella Carey, told ABC News. “A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed…she was hospitalized.” Carey [Idella] was under the impression that her daughter was taking the baby to a doctor's appointment in Conneticut. 

Her pregnancy with Erica had been unplanned, according to her former boss, Dr. Barry Weiss, who spoke to NBC Connecticut. Carey [Miriam] had seemed increasingly stressed after discovering the news, and around January 2012, she suffered a fall down a staircase bad enough to have to take two to three weeks off work. She was fired around a year ago, but said there was "nothing unusual about her leaving our office."

One 59-year-old resident of the building where Carey lived said that she “seemed nice” but had been behaving unusually recently. “She would often speed her car in and out of the parking lot here, and that was something that really concerned me,” he said. “She was pleasant. She was very happy with her daughter, very proud of her daughter…I just never would have anticipated this in a million years,” said Carey’s next-door neighbor, Erin Jackson.

An anonymous law enforcement official later said that Carey harbored the delusional belief that President Barack Obama was communicating with her, according to AP.

At the moment, the public only knows what little it can glean from the available footage and witness accounts. They say she plowed into a security barrier and hit a Secret Service agent who tried to change her direction by waving. 

After the police first opened fire on her, she floored the gas and drove off. But after a high-speed pursuit through Capitol Hill streets, she ran into Capitol Hill police officers, who surrounded her car after she slammed into a barrier. One witness reported one of the officers even sticking his weapon into the open window of Carey’s car.

She wheeled the car around and hit a police cruiser, while almost hitting several more officers, before driving off again. From that moment all that is known is that the officers shouted for her to stop as she moved away. Then shots were fired (multiple reports declare more than a dozen were heard in total) and Carey was killed in the vicinity of the Supreme Court. She received six bullets from police guns.

Investigators told the public that the pursuit may have been worse had it not been for the barriers near the White House. 

“The perimeters worked… They did exactly what they were supposed to do,” said DC Police chief Cathy Lanier during a press conference following the shooting. The question that then arises is why any further action was required to immobilize Carey herself, when there was all the time in the world to prevent her car from moving?

Dr. Mark Mason believes the situation was entirely overkill on the part of the Capitol Police.

“Given the fact that we have an unarmed female – the police have come forward to say she was unarmed; there was an infant in the car; there was no gunfire of any kind that came from the car at any time – a lot of questions need to be asked,” Mason told RT.

“The police in Washington DC way-way overreacted. There are alternatives to respond to situations short of deadly force. A speeding car – there’s a variety of ways of stopping them,” he continued, mentioning the option of shooting out the tires. 

The option of taking a suspect – even one considered a deadly terror suspect - into custody alive is a proven possibility, as was the case with one suspected Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He remains in prison at the moment, despite having been accused of perpetrating the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombings. He was captured alive by police.

Back in May, 27-year-old Ibrahim Todashev who had alleged links to the other Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar’s brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot six times during questioning by the FBI after apparently attacking one of the agents. He appeared to have been unarmed and there are still no further details of the situation. Tamerlan himself died in a stand-off with police in April.

However, the separate cases are incomparable. While the Boston Bombings killed three and injured over 260, there is no evidence that Carey had any intent to cause danger to another human being. 

On Friday, a man from Ohio named Joseph Reel, pleaded guilty to crashing his Jeep near a white House Secret Service guard booth – an incident which happened in June. As the hearing unfolded, US District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras cited Carey’s case, telling Reel he was “lucky to be alive,” according to AP.

Is your television watching YOU? Smart TVs can spy on their owners

It sounds like some wild conspiracy theory or like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's true: it's possible that while you're watching your television, it could be watching you.

A security firm has discovered a glitch in Samsung's Smart TV that "can give hackers access to the device's built-in camera and microphones, allowing them to watch everything you do," RT.com reported recently.

The Malta-based security company, ReVuln, posted a video demonstrating how a team of researchers were able to hack into the Smart TV and access its setting, widgets, channel lists, USB drives and configurations for its remote control. The flaw permits hackers to gain access to any and all personal data stored on the TV as well, said the firm.

"We can install malicious software to gain complete root access to the TV," the video noted.

'I always feel like somebody's watching me...'

With that kind of access, hackers are able to use the television's built-in camera and mics to see and hear everything that is in front of it (like you). "Instead of just watching TV, viewers could themselves be watched without knowing it," said RT.com.

Moreover, the flaw is not inherent on just one model - it is present on all 11 Samsung TVs of the company's latest generation of sets. The Smart TVs feature many of the same components as do computers, but they don't have the same kinds of protections, like firewalls and antivirus software.

There is at least some good news, though. In order to breach your TV, hackers first have to breach the network the television is connected to, and they must know the IP address of the device. As such, security breaches most likely would only occur as a targeted attack against a particular individual, not something that would occur randomly.

A co-founder of ReVuln, Luigi Auriemma, told NBC News that his firm's primary concern is that hackers may be able to target specific individuals or companies in whose businesses they have an interest.

"In our opinion, it's more interesting and realistic to think about attacks [against] specific targets reached via open/weak/hacked Wi-Fi or compromised computers of a network, instead of mass-exploiting via the Internet," Auriemma said in a statement. "That's interesting due to the effects of the vulnerability (retrieving information and the possibility of monitoring) which are perfect for targeted attacks, from a specific person with a TV at home to a company with TVs in its offices."

Hackers must be connected to a local network in order to access a Smart TV, said reports, so it becomes extremely important to keep wifi passwords secure. Also, anyone who has stalkers or who keeps valuable data on their device should be particularly careful, experts note.

"Consider that little kid next door that's good with computers," Travis Carelock, content director and research technologist at Black Hat, said, according to RT.com.

"We're moving into a whole different world," added Trey Ford, general manager of the group. "Growing up, you and I didn't have a wirelessly connected camera pointing at the couch."

'A whole lot more fun'

The security firm said owners of any of the plasma 8000 series, the 7500 LED LCD series, the 8000 LED LCD series or the 9000 LED LCD series should seriously consider keeping all personal data off their TVs and then be careful about what is said or done in the presence of the TV.

While such devices are technologically promising, the security flaw can definitely become problematic.

"That's what will make this a whole lot more fun in the future," Ford said.

Samsung has since announced it is launching an investigation into the security flaw. No word on how it might be fixed.

Friday the 13th Myths

a) Do not start a trip on Friday or you will encounter misfortune.

b) If you break a mirror on Friday the 13th, you will have seven years of bad luck.  

c) Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck.  

d) If you walk under a ladder or if a black cat crosses you on Friday the 13th, you will have bad luck.  

The origin of the link between bad luck and Friday the 13th is murky.  The whole thing might date to Biblical times (13th guest at the Last Supper betrayed Jesus).  By the Middle Ages, both Friday and 13 were considered bearers of bad fortune.  In modern times, the superstition permeates society. 

Here are five of our favorite Friday-the-13th facts:

1. Fear of Friday the 13th - one of the most popular myths in science is called "Paraskavedekatriaphobia" as well as "friggatriskaidekaphobia".  "Triskaidekaphobia" is fear of the number 13.  
2. many hospitals have no room 13, while some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals omit gate 13.
3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal.  Napoleon and President Herbert hoover were also "triskaidekaphobic," with an abnormal fear of the number 13.  
4. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party.  A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend.  "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzime, or professional 14th guest.  
5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a years, 12 signs of the zodiac, 122 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in aa dozen.

True Love Has No Expiration Date

Sinead O' Conner - Nothing Compares to You

Lyrics

It's been seven hours and fifteen days

Since you took love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since You bee gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor and guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said girl you better have fun

No matter what you do 

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama

In the back yard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Peppermint

The smell or flavor of peppermint can have profound effects on cognitive functions.  These include reasoning, problem solving, concept formation, judgment, attention span, and even memory.  

For their research, the participants of this particular study chewed peppermint, cinnamon or cherry flavored gums.  Flavorless gum and no gum offered to control groups.  All three flavored gums, including peppermint, increased working memory and visual-motor response.

Burdock Root

The plant is eaten as a root vegetable in Asia and is said to have a gummy consistency and sweet taste.  The seeds, root, and leaves all have healing properties.  It can be used to treat skin and scalp conditions, sooth throat pain and tonsillitis, reduce arthritis inflammation and ulcers, and to purify the blood.  In Russia and India, it is used as an anti-cancer remedy, with proponents saying it can stop cancer cells from metastasizing.
