“March 3, 1914: Woman Suffrage March” should be included in the List of protest marches on Washington, DC, but not on this list. This list includes individual acts of violence or those caused by small groups against government institutions or political organizations, not against marchers. If the head of the movement was shot or if the organizations headquarters was bombed, then it should be included on this list but not attacks on open marches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.28.126.94 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Miriam Carey incident political?

How is Miriam Carey's death a "political incident?" And what happened to the Wikipedia article about the incident? 67.173.220.211 (talk) 21:20, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I saw another user's query about this on the Help Desk and that's why I am here. Looking through the article edit history, it appears that the addition of the Miriam Carey block was probably the result of an article deletion or a merge request. I agree that without any clear, sourced explanation of her motivation, we are making an assumption that it was politically-motivated violence, and not the sad result of mental illness, which appears to be the more likely explanation. I'm deleting the entire entry on the basis that "political" is unaffirmed. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:39, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
