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.

"So the perp on the run has civilian clothes on."

Lovely.

It's amazing that they haven't caught him yet.

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.

LMAO! You hit the nail on the head.

Um, I wasn't the one complaining about what was on this thread, that would be you, since it seems like you've forgotten already what is what.

You had a black male on trial in Fulton County Georgia and you wonder why the jury was hung?

OH c'mon...Jesus H. Christ can't we have ONE freakin thread where this crap doesn't come up.

Tell you what. You can keep talking this junk if you can convince at least 2/3's of the people in hti sthread how it relates to what we're talking about.

Deal?

If not then I think my tag line just might apply to you.

Good day sir.

So the perp on the run has civilian clothes on due to not wanting to damage his image in court.

It has been reported that he was not in custody (had a hung jury) so of course he would be in civilian clothes.

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

Considering the precarious situation Buzz Peterson's job is in, he should probably be packing heat!

Sure is. As significant as 99.5% of posts on this thread!

And may I say that what ignorance you have shown is simply unforgiveable.

Hey Dude, you are in way over your head. Dead is dead. Dead Spirit is not dead, sooo not dead it isn't funny. If you are dead spirit, you have to pay taxes, get to eat icecream, feel the breeze in your hair.

On the whole dead spirit beats dead body any old day. And anyone who thinks different is some kind of in-the-twinkie-zone fool.

It also didn't help that the cop was a woman. Give me a break people, a six foot strapping ____ man against a poorly trained woman? Doesn't compute.

Is that a Dunkin Donuts "Curbside to go" locale?

GMTA, Apes! I've been trying (so far) successfully to refrain from making facetious comments about donuts and this sad situation.

Thanks for taking some of the pressure off!
