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.
nawsuh. I refuse to pollute my melon in that manner.
and why bother? FR is far more informative :)
the city will turn into a rerun of Dinkins by the end of Blooming-idiots second term.

And what an ugly sight that was; complete with sanctioned riots and mayoral encouraged pogroms.
This is a city where the relative blackness of African-Americans has even become an issue in the mayoral election.
One of the good things about living in Cobb.
Agreed, saw that on the TV earlier. Thought to myself, Medium hmmmm...... Looks dark to me! The PC crowd, cut me a break!
Seems like it rained everytime the Rodeo was going on so the Jaycees got wild hair and moved it to the Fair Grounds in Andalusia,where there is shelter.Now Opp can't have that happen so We The People decided to move it to April 2-3 at the Stadium in Opp....Blake Shelton (sp) is going to be here.Ya'll come and meet some good folks.
Dude. There's a reason. If he's willing to disarm and kill a Sheriffs Deputy and cap a Superior Court judge, what makes you think he'd hesitate on you or me?
If the DOB is correct, Nichols is 33.
I'm back. Tomas is fine, he has a $300 cold.
What a wussy boy; he hyperventilated all the way there and hid his face through the whole exam. Then he showed his appreciation by pooping in my car. Nice kitty!
Now, I don't recall Perry's Store, but the local Rotary (chiefly a Dr. Tomberlin) sponsored the "World Champion Domino Tournament" every July at the Lurleen B Wallace State Junior College (the LBWSJC, for short!).
Can we all give the PC stuff a rest? He is being described as a black male with medium complexion. This means that he is skin is not as dark as black but is not a light as a black person with lighter skin.
Haven't you ever heard of white people being described as light complexion and dark complexion? By your logic, whites could never have dark complexion. geesh.
crf = 900-3200 rpm
that's 15-53 rounds per second.
even for the dinky 22... just... damn!
I'm dying to know how he rigged the feed, so I emailed him.
>>along with the atmosphere of political correctness
Let's spell that out: female sheriff's deputies, instead of ex-football play males, like most other courhouses in GA. Let's face it, an average man is, what?, an 85th %-ile woman, physically? And the perp here is bigger and stronger than an average man.
There are some things that should be men's jobs. Or they should have serious physical qualifications, that aren't dropped down so women can easily pass.
Doc,
It's worse than you say. She was alone with him in a room as he changed from prison into street clothes and then it was expected that he would comply when it came time to recuff. The plan they were using was depending completely on the goodwill of the defendant. Political Correctness causes death.
"Thompson said Deputy Cynthia Hall had shooting suspect Brian Nichols in a holding area on the eighth floor of the Justice Center Tower in downtown Atlanta. Nichols was changing his jail clothes to his street clothes to appear before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes in his rape case.
"Before Hall was able to handcuff Nichols after he had changed, Thompson said, he grabbed the deputy's gun and shot her and grabbed her keys. Nichols needed the keys to leave the the hold room, which was between courtrooms 8A and 8B in the newest part of the courthouse."

Here's a stupider question: Why is the press talking to a Fire Chief? Is this guy running around setting fires now?
I was following this story up till 11 am. So I am kind of behind. Has their been any news outlet that put this scum's family or a liberal up/on line that stated he is such a nice person and it must be the corrupt justice system that drove him to do this?
There are different shades - though I'm black, I have a lighter complexion than many (I'd generally be described as light to medium), while my son is notably darker than I am (he'd be described as dark). (mind you, I'm notably darker now than I was when I was in college)Ya... but c'mon.... at least say medium complexion for a black man. If I only heard the description on the radio, I'd be looking for an hispanic.
Hubby and I lived in Andalusia for three years a while back. I really enjoyed getting to know (most) of the folks in the area. The wiregrass is a great place to live.
Thats a good ole store. They still come to pump your gas for ya'.Lots of history with that store.
Please lets just give the PC crap a break. Not all blacks have the same skin tone. Some are very black and some are more of a tan shade to the point that its hard to tell if they are hispanic or black.
I can't believe that people have never heard that blacks have different complexions.
