Another Unrelated Coincidence?

[Richard Allan Jenni]

This may simply be an unrelated coincidence, but early yesterday morning in DC there was yet another tragic death on the American political scene. From the Capitol Hill Roll Call, updated 1636 hours on Monday, 10 January 2010:

“The car fire that led to the sudden death of Ashley Turton was caused by the impact after a low-speed crash, according to the major crash investigation unit of the Metropolitan Police Department.

‘It’s quite possible that the victim was maneuvering the car and came in contact with some kind of flammable chemical materials,’ DC Fire spokesman Pete Piringer said.

Turton, 37, was the former chief of staff to Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) and wife of White House liaison to the House of Representatives Dan Turton. She worked as a lobbyist for the Raleigh, NC-based utility giant Progress Energy.

Turton was found dead in her car Monday morning, which was discovered ablaze in a row house garage, presumably the Turton home, in the 800 block of A Street Southeast near Eastern Market.

Police said there was a heavy fire in the garage at 4:45 a.m. that caused significant damage to the 2008 BMW X5, which was partially backed out into the driveway and looked singed. Fire damage could also be seen on a corner of the brick home Monday.

When the fire was extinguished, firefighters discovered Turton’s body inside the car.

At 9 a.m. Monday, two fire trucks were at the scene in addition to nearly a half-dozen police cars. Neighbors and passers-by stood outside as police continued to survey the wreckage in the garage attached to Turton’s home.

Turton’s neighbors were in mourning following her unexpected death. Julie Domenick, a lobbyist who lives on the Turton’s block, said the entire neighborhood would mourn her death.

‘I, of course, was aware of Ashley’s impressive professional legacy, but I also knew Ashley as a charming, spectacular, neighborhood mom who herded her three adorable, curious young children ... with great skill and even more love,’ Domenick said. ‘This neighborhood is going to miss Ashley terribly. It leaves a hole in our hearts and a sadness on our block. Our prayers are with Dan, their children and their families.’

Turton’s co-worker and friend Caroline Choi, executive director of environmental services and strategy, was too choked up to comment on her death Monday afternoon.

Brian Wolff, a lobbyist at Edison Electric Institute and close friend of Turton’s, called her death devastating. ‘She was just a gift,’ he said. ‘It’s such a loss for everyone. So many people knew and loved her.’

Turton is survived by her husband Dan, 43, twin 4-year-olds and a 2-year-old.”

Just another coincidence- like Judge John Roll showing up at a pre-determined spot in Tucson only a few minutes before he was killed. Just another random American tragedy- like the murders of Quarles Harris and Donald Young…

It gives me the creeps to even write about this stuff. Possible Ashley’s car “came in contact with some kind of flammable chemical materials?”

A note about Judge Roll from GretaWire quoting a Homeland Security memo: “It did just come in from the command post, that the federal judge was NOT originally scheduled to attend the meeting, according to wife. She stated that he received a phone call about an hour before and was invited to attend.”

Do I have any proof whatsoever that Judge Roll was the primary target? Nope. Not at all. I just find it difficult to accept any mainstream media report at face value these days. However, I do wonder who invited Judge Roll to his demise…

Also Loughner’s mother, according that DHS memo, works for the Pima County Board of Supervisors- which may be the reason the shooter had no criminal record despite his multiple arrests. What about that Sheriff Dupnik?

And if Loughner is anything else but a wacko and a possible patsy, he’s apparently an anti-Semitic Democrat who leans heavily to the left. Oops!

PS: Please don’t fall for Sorcha Faal’s latest crap from the Kremlin…

Awesome as usual... Such a sad thing.... I feel bad for all the families in this and that sheriff needs to shut up and stop interfering with an investigation he should be doing. This kid has been a problem for years, so is the sheriff now trying to throw out a smoke screen for this person not being more carefully watched? Of course they boys mom working for the county must of played a huge role in allowing this man to remain free and all his threats ignored. I think he needs to be unelected! He appears to be corrupt and frankly many could care less of his opinion, he is a sheriff nothing more, his county should be ashamed of him... The to ladies where connected through the energy committees..... Thanks again for a good read.
