Agreed. As Shark said, she got what she asked for.

I fully believe seeing/hearing her get shot is one reason the mob backed off for the moment, and let the House finish evacuating. Nothing like "Holy fuck they killed her!" to make the tag-alongs decide they didn't want to be the next ones shot. There were enough "do or die" idjits to continue the pressure, but IIRC that was when the mob first started breaking up.
The Wikipedia article is very interesting and fills in a lot of the blanks.

Huh... Lots of things I did not know.

Yeah... she had issues.
She probably should have been prosecuted for trying to smash the other woman with the SVU. I'd have called it Attempted Homicide and thrown the book at her.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Moot point, now. Good riddance.
