Article here. Excerpt:

'Police have identified the woman who was shot and killed Thursday during a car chase that locked down Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

Miriam Carey was a 34-year-old dental hygienist who lived in Stamford, Conn.

A subsequent employer, Dr. Barry J. Weiss, noted that she had trouble getting along with with other employees, however, which may have contributed to her getting fired in August 2012.
....
Carey reportedly suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter, her mother, Idella, told ABC News. Idella said: "A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed. ... She was hospitalized."

Her boyfriend contacted police in December saying he feared for the safety of their infant child, law enforcement sources told CNN.
...
She had her 1-year-old daughter in the car with her during the pursuit.

Carey's relatives in Brooklyn, N.Y. are reportedly refusing to speak with investigators, CNN reported.'

... despite the concerns raised earlier, nothing happened. Where was CPS? If the complaint were against the child's father, I speculate they'd've moved right in. But let's say she had had a firearm with her. Let's say after seeing the guns on her, she drew and fired at the police. Maybe she would have killed one of them before being killed herself. Or maybe, rather than use the car at first, she just started out with the gun, right there in front of the White House.

Now if she were a he, would there have been any discussion of extenuating circumstances? "Postpartum depression" -- for a YEAR, with delusions about getting stalked by Obama? Puhleeze! That's not "postpartum depression", that's NUTS.

When crazy dudes do crazy things, they're criminals. When crazy gals due crazy things, they're "just mentally ill" and should get sympathy. And so it goes.
