This is a breaking news situation.
A man entered a courtroom in the Fulton County Courthouse this morning and shot a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, a clerk and a judge; there are reports from both WSB and WAGA, the judge is deceased.
The perp has carjacked multiple vehicles -- now on his third -- and is still at large.
I've just come from downtown Atlanta, and the city is a madhouse.
This is the way it goes; sorry.
You know, I had to leave for a while after posting that and and I kept thinking "that wasn't worded right, dummy!" NO! My butt is NOT 5'4. (I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes!!!)
Like stuff about jury duty?
Apples and oranges, really. The cesspool that is DU doesn't even represent the bulk of those who vote Democrat. In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, "There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
I have a map of the internet on my cubicle wall. When I see the host that supports DU, I think to myself that is should say, "Here there be monsters..."
On topic, however, I don't think this guy will get far, or be on the loose for very long. Something like this galvanizes the public and law enforcement in ways that cannot be described. You may elude the police, but at some point you have to face the public.
Well it's okay. Sometimes we say the wrong thing at an inopportune time.
Yea, human ones.
You just need to understand the brashness of your comment, and when to make such comments.
I heard that....he's quite the drama queen this morning. As if the news isn't bad enough...
There's plenty of OTHER stuff on all these live threads, you know?
Yeah, that comment BY GREG, was unnecessary. I just want THE NEWS, THE NEWS, THE NEWS, PLEASE!
Three dead. Judge, deputy, court reporter. 2 injuries.
It's a quagmire I tell ya'. This is Bush's Vietnam.
Yes. He also said that the perp "took the law into his own hands." I'm still laughing over that one.
Well, I guess politeness is not an issue with you. I asked you respectfully, and others. This is a long thread, if you just want to communicate and chat, please email one another privately. I believe that is the protocol on FR. Please. Be nice.
Yep. It's like the fillers in clothes detergent....;-)
This guy was not awaiting trial in jail. He was free to leave after the proceedings after every session. He was in street clothes, no cuffs. He was out on bond.
Local Fox reporter is now confirming the reports that he overpowered a deputy, shot him in the head and then forced another deputy to handcuff others. The reporter said that he interviewed a DA for this information.
The court reporter was also shot in the head.
I highly doubt that this guy will be taken alive.
I think it's time for good ole fashioned handcuffs in court again. I had no idea they took them off for trials, as to not "suggest" anything. How absurd! It's too bad that innocent lives were lost because this lunatick was without restraints.
