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.

Wolves evolve because there are sheep to eat.
Would a perp try to arm wrestle a 250 lb. Irish cop (say, from the Bronx)... maybe, but I doubt it.
Would a perp be motivated to wrestle with an affirmative-action, petite female deputy... sure looks like easy pickins.

Photo released March 11, 2005 by law enforcement authorities of Brian Nichols, who is suspected by police of shooting several people in Atlanta early Friday. A judge, a court reporter and two sheriff's deputies were shot on Friday at the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta, officials said. CNN reported that Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes was one of those shot and had been killed. Authorities were searching for the suspect, whom they identified as Nichols. The suspect, who is accused of rape, assault and other felonies, escaped the court by carjacking at least one vehicle. REUTERS/Handout NO SALES |

You still think words don't kill?Could you lay off the "words kill" kick or at least start your own thread?
According to an attorney calling to Fox:
The scumbag judge and cop killer was on trial for raping his fiance.
The fiance had found out that he had gotten another woman pregnant. She decided to stay with him but remain celibate.
Before the victim's birthday the perp got a big ice chest, filled it with cold cuts and drinks and went to the fiance's home. He kept her hostage for several days raping her.
Fox then went to a commercial.

What is wrong with people? People have jettisoned their faith and have joined with worldly ways. Life has lost it value.
(Of course, when the perp is caught his lawyers will make out his life more important than the victims.) Another sign that legal system has its priorities screwed up.

OMG! I agree with you. What an incompetent looking bunch. No wonder this incident happened.
To: txradioguy
Good day to you too. I'm willing to save it for another thread.
You're right, this one isn't really the time or place for it.
Later!

I guess that is why MJ wore his jammies to court, so he would look innocent.

I believe it was over the line too. I still believe she has the right to express her opinion. that's all I'm saying. I am not defending HER. I am defending her right.
