Security Gaffes Cited in Courthouse Spree

this case is just TOO bizarre. listening to the lady he held hostage she states that he said HE DID NOT shoot the female gaurd, right after he told her HE DID shoot the customs agent because he wouldn't do what he was told. i hate to say it, but there are TOO MANY coincidences here with the lapse in security. one female guard unhand-cuffing a prisoner who had knives on him the day before?!?!?! and not one, but BOTH the gaurd who were supposed to be watching the monitor away from their post!?!?! COME ONE PEOPLE, WAKE UP! there's alot more to this than what we're being told.

The deputy, a 51-year-old woman just 5 feet tall, was simply no match for the inmate she was escorting to the courtroom, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound former college linebacker on trial for rape.

Sounds terrible, but whenever I read about this I think about the two old lady bailiffs from the old Nightcourt television show.

The picture was not very clear. If it was a woman, there were many men surrounding her and Nichols.

It was a woman. However what was important was not that they were surrounded by men, but rather that they were surrounded by M-4 Carbine toting federal agents!

I'm sure there are some women who can throw down like a man but they are more the exception than the rule.If I'm being assaulted by Toby who is 6'6 275 pounds of muscle I wouldn't be expecting any help from my partner Mary Poppins who weighs 90 pounds soak and wet.I would have to pray that she didn't freeze up and was able to push the body alarm that summons every available officer.I've seen the best female officer freeze like this which caused the beating her male partner was receiving to last another minute or so.I know it doesn't seem like a long time but it's an eternity when you're getting the stuffing kicked out of you.Most of us understood that all of the blame couldn't be put on her when there are some men who have reacted in the same manner but we know that most women aren't cut out for situations like this.It's the fault of the politically correct atmosphere that permeates most employers especially the state and federal government.That male officer has never been the same since that day and I wonder if it had to turn out that way.
