"Shots fired"... no one died probably.
Which is good.

Looks like there may be at least one injury.

(CNN) – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Thursday that one person was injured in a shooting on Capitol Hill, CNN's Dana Bash reports.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has dispatched units to the Capitol, following reports of shots fired near Garfield Circle, which is on the west front of the Capitol Building.
An order was given over the Capitol speaker system to shelter in place because of an active shooter situation.
Capitol Police sent out the following advisory to staffers:
"SHELTER IN PLACE. Gunshots have been reported on Capitol Hill requiring all occupants in all House Office Buildings to shelter in place. Close, lock and stay away from external doors and windows. Take annunciators, Go Kits and escape hoods; and move to the innermost part of the office away from external doors or windows. If you are not in your office, take shelter in the nearest office, check in with your OEC and wait for USCP to clear the incident. No one will be permitted to enter or exit the building until directed by USCP. All staff should monitor the situation. Further information will be provided as it becomes available."
The House and Senate went into recess after the shooting.

One of my "smart" friends told me yesterday between the Gov, banks and real estate market we're in for a real ride the next few years that's going to make our last recession look like a speed bump.

I thought guns weren't allowed in D.C. How did this happen?

OK.
Obamacare = a nation of part time employees
Banks = Will not give loans and getting a mortgage is almost impossible. They are slowly releasing foreclosed homes to keep the price artificially high, investors have been buying them and renting them out. The market will crash and rent will drop as renters who work part time will not be able to afford it.
Flood zones = fucked, Insurance is not subsidized anymore by FEMA people here are getting 20k a year quotes, banks will foreclose if you don't pay your forced place insurance. FEMA just re vamped flood maps. Investors will buy those homes and more rentals.
GOV = will go broke and stop backing mortgages.
Save your cash and hide it.

My family has land that can be tilled that butts up next to The Land of the Forgotten. When shit hits the fan we'll converge on it and at least stay fed and safe. It's depressing that we even had to have this conversation in the last few years.
No use in putting money in the banks here or abroad, as the guv will be making runs on it as they see fit. Not trying to be the doom and gloom guy, but I believe now we really are past the point of no return. Unless CNN says we're ok, then I'll feel better.

So, apparently the shooter was a woman, with a kid in her backseat. She was fatally shot by police.
This wasn't the standard frustrated divorced laid off husband or angry beta teen for a change.

Well, GameTheory, of course I was being facetious in an attempt to use the Socratic method to get Tuth or anyone else around here to expand on that thought.
Let's get down to brass tacks, shall we?
First up, we have Ronald Reagan saying Government is the problem, over 30 years ago.
But Tuth said, "non-stop." Who else has been saying this non-stop?
Other than Ron Paul, their has not been a single politician that has been pointing to Government as the problem. But that's really besides the point. I get that Tuth was being hyperbolic.
We must also remember that Reagan was absolutely correct. Problem was, he was telling us the truth based on his very own actions.
Reagan signed off on the first no-fault Divorce laws in the nation when he was Governor. That particular Government problem has metastasized and engulfed the entire country today. Thanks Ronnie Ray-Gun!
He also expanded the power and scope of the military-industrial complex in the Government like no other President before.
Yes, Government is the problem, and Reagan demonstrated that unequivocally by his actions as both Governor of CA and President of the US.

Let's not forget that Reagan sold America's manufacturing industry to China.
At first I thought it was Boehmer or Ted Cruz going on a shooting spree. People blame their failures on others, including the government. It's easy to complain to a non-living thing.

I don't know about the rest but the flood zones part is true. I know of a business connected to coastal insurance and they've said the same thing. Coastal and flood plain quotes are crazy.
It makes an interesting situation, the land will be too expensive for residential but would have great soil for growing things. If I had cash to invest I'd buy it for recreation land and farming.

^^^ Speakeasy calm down. No one is saying anything bad about Obama. He's turning this mess around, and he stays in office for another 40 years, and no matter how long it takes, we can always blame other presidents.
Science save us. Vote for one of the Obama's in 2016!
