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.

As remarkable as many of the details about these events are, I'm still kind of struck by the AJC reporter's comment that he saw a black male with no shirt and "thought he was in town for the [SEC] basketball tournament."
WTF?

WHOA - that is way too close for comfort.
Glad we're not hearing about your close encounter with this guy.
I was just talking to a friend down at the courthouse - we all have the idea that this sort of thing may happen in the backs of our minds . . . but it only comes to the forefront now and then . . . like today.
Creepy coincidence . . . I have a case from this judge on my desk right now.

Opportunity, Alabama!!!! Hey neighbor, I heard the rattlesnake rodeo was a bit of a let down this year - one snake. ;-)
To: spodefly
My second favorite. I was told that when the city was established, the founding fathers had wanted to call it Opportunity, but nothing ever developed..

I just happend to find out about this on the top of the hour radio news on the way home from town. Sounds like it was the judge, the judge's court stenographer, and a deputy outside the courtroom.
His name is Brian Nichols.

I'm a critic, not a fan. The Fulton County Courthouse has seen enough public hangings. I viewed your post as promoting vigilante, Jim Crow justice. And while I might expect that from Senator KKK, I am personally shocked and disgusted to see your post in a forum intended to promote our Great Constitution, including the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments. Given the context of your post, your response to criticism is disingenuous at best.

Love that video of them shredding a TV set. However, those BB guns are only good for heart attack value. I want the real thing. And a job that would allow me to feed it and still keep the missus happy.
