Fulton Co. Judge shot and killed in courthouse shooting (BREAKING Fri 9A)
WAGA-TV/WSB-TV Atlanta | 3.11.05

Posted on 03/11/2005 6:39:06 AM PST by mhking

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.

...that the judge deserved to die because he's a lib.

Close. She was saying he deserved to die IF was he a lib. A sentiment some might echo under other circumstances. But not here. Not today. And not on this thread.

So the sheriff has no information on what car the perp may be driving? What?

He could have carjacked another car.

"Ummmmmm, the qu'ran???"

The Koran, the words of a communist--they don't actually *do* the killing. They may inspire people to do it, but there is always an intervening cause--the actual picking up of a knife or gun and carrying out the murder.

Human beings have a choice.

Maybe. I think likely just a (three day) suspension.

No, what I think most people are getting at is that this perp was accused of a very violent crime and last week was caught trying to bring a shiv into the court room and was not restrained in any way as not to give the jury an impression that he is guilty. That is the PC people are talking about for the most part.

Being liberal shouldn't merit the death penalty.

Depends on the liberal. Let's leave that for another thread, and possibly a completely different forum though...

...another 'Moofer' like the original who honcho-ed the beltway sniper hunt down here in MD. This entire scene makes one feel comfy about calling 911 when you have a life and death situation. I suggest each and everyone buy a firearm and learn how to use it.

May have been reported before, but the Fox-5 is reporting that the suspect already had his trial for the rape charge and it ended in a hung jury. The trial was very quick.

Apparently he was there to be rearraigned.

Go down town and look at some of your street people or go to a juvenile detention center or a state prison. You will find a lot of non productive citizen who were told they were stupid, worthless and would never amount to anything.. You still think words don't kill?

Just be quiet you hyper sensitive control freak. You go start another thread since you are the one complaining about how and what should be posted. I kept quiet about all the lame ass jokes until you decided to start chastising someone for making a comment you deemed not fitting for this thread. I was pointing out how A LOT of comments made on this thread are not related to the topic.

I think you were right about the mental ward.

THese threads are so predictable.

We hear something bad, simultaneously prayers are offered up, mean spirited comments {quite funny mostly but occasionally hateful and scary} follow, rebukes are followed by more mean or hateful posts and some funny ones, Laz shows up to make me giggle, someone gets banned and we all congratulate each other on how nice we are and how newcomers cause all the problems. Then a newcomer gets angry and it starts all over.

Not a bad way to wait for a criminal to get apprehended on the television machine.

Local news guy just made a comment that the female deputy wasn't wearing equipment appropriate to this kind of duty. I take that to mean she wasn't wearing a secured holster.

On a less serious notes. The SEC basketball tournament is in town. I have to think the majority of those people are CCW. :)
