She used her vehicle as a weapon... she ran down a federal officer with her car. That's a very, very serious charge. On top of that she rammed the White House & Capitol gates, lead police on an 80 mph chase through one of the busiest tourist zones in the world, caused multiple accidents along the way, refused to surrender multiple times, and was aggressive towards police. I'm kind of surprised they didn't pick her off before they did, to be honest.

That being said, it turns out the woman does have a history of mental issues. But how are police supposed to know that? Even if they did, she was obviously out of control & dangerous. Unfortunately, this is just another sad example of how America as a society needs to get real about tackling mental health issues. Almost all of our homeless population, and everyone who commits these horrible mass shootings are all mentally ill people who slipped between the cracks. What's it going to take for us to reexamine our system of dealing with folks with mental issues?

OK thanks Louie .Yes .I caught more info on the news today with the details.And she had post-partum depression .Yes I agree on we got to do something about the mental health issues in this country.Its getting worse every day.

The security are on top of their feet down there and will alert since the Navy yard just happen weeks ago.Plus the idiot throwing fire crackers on the lawn weeks ago too.

Sooner or later as the investigations go on we will find out why the girl went out and pulled this chase .She had a good job and a home to live in.Plus good looking too..Something that ticked her off.

I watched Miley's Wrecking Ball video and didn't find anything shocking about it. I think she's done a great job of getting attention and selling records recently. The music business has always done well on shock value. She's gonna be just fine.

You can't see her nipple or her snatch. It ain't the Super Bowl. What's the problem?

Note: I am not a fan of her's. Her music does nothing for me.

Speaking of mental issues .

The thing that gets me is why these young artists and celebs got to act strange and nuts to get attention.


I dont recall this back when Stevie ,FM and other artists and bands and celebs of that era pulling nutty things.

If they want to make a a$$ out of themselves in public .Its fine with me.LOL...

Maybe this is another reason the music industry is going down the drain.

You don't remember The Sex Pistols, The Dead Kennedy's or Wendy Williams, just to name a few of many, many more?

I'm not a fan of Miley's either really, but I am somewhat of a Sinead fan. I do think Sinead was kinda bang-on in her open letter in many ways, but I also think Miley's reaction was pretty much normal and to be expected. The girl is 20 years old, getting unsolicited advice from a total stranger that is published on the internet for all to see. Of course she's going to get defensive. I actually am a little disappointed to see that Sinead is perpetuating the conflict. She should know to let it go. Let Miley be 20. At that age we're all desperate to prove how all-grown-up we are and always unintentionally manage to prove exactly the opposite. Then we look back years later and cringe. That's just how it goes.
