Police shoot and kill man near US Capitol
By BEN EVANS, Associated Press Writer Ben Evans, Associated Press Writer – 3 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Police shot a 35-year-old man near the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in what authorities described as a routine traffic stop that turned deadly. The unidentified man was shot after brandishing a weapon, police said. He died shortly after the late afternoon melee, in which eyewitnesses said multiple gunshots were fired.
The shootings happened a few blocks away from where the third day of hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was wrapping up.Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Drives me up the wall that they mentioned they were near the "hearings" that were occurring. It implies that this idiot was headed there

delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely

Blog comments would be much improved if they had a "Tazer this idiot" button beside each. I've suggested this to YouTube several times, no response so far.
