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.

well, you can bet that if any get caught harboring him they will pay...but the key word is "caught". Harboring is actually pretty hard to prove. They can always argue, duress. And most do. "He killed a judge and cop and he had a gun...it would be crazy to tell him he couldn't stay in my basement". Something like that.

Again, Thanks to you for speaking the truth. I'm not a racist by any means and do believe, as you do, that we really ought to know who we're looking for.

BTW, in that story he talked about refusing the perp's order to get into his car's trunk. Smartest move he ever made!

If you get in the car, you're dead. Might as well run for it and take your chances.

True enough, but I have no doubt that you know him.

Totally off subject, but speaking of Crawley; is she using a particularly soft bedroom voice today? As a female, I'm finding it alittle annoying.

You seem to have a problem with the descriptions released, including medium complexion, even though that is accurate.

The problem is that the average person is not going to have any idea what is meant by the term "medium complexion". If there was no photo to accompany that description, I would assume they were talking about somebody like George Hamilton.

Most definately...and there will be some on the outside who will help him out on the outside. I am sure the divorce cases can get crazy, for my husband it was the foreclosures he had to do. There were 2 separate incidences when they came to our home to try to plead their case. He hated it, loved prosecution though. Felt like he was doing some good when the law would allow. Now however he is a full time minister and finds it more rewarding. :)

Hey Chris, you got the 1492 post. Amazing, eh?

Umm... Forgive my ignorance, but is that supposed to be significant?

He killed a cop and a judge. That is something that will make him a legend in the minds of some.

All the more reason that when he is found, he needs to give the cops "any" cause to shoot him dead.

I followed this at work, so what I know is just fragments. But, how in the world did he get out of downtown Atlanta? I used to be a courier there, and know the area well.

As a woman who often travels alone, I have often thought of this. I hope if something like that ever happens to me that I have the courage to stand my ground...and be willing to get killed right where I'm standing instead of getting stuffed into a trunk and suffering God-knows-what treatment.

On the other hand, Ron Reagan still makes my skin crawl. Just not as bad as a couple of months ago.

Well, actually very similar...I have had the experience of a suspect shooting a state trooper...(trooper survived brain damaged) who fled into a "hood" and was helped out by several. So...agree or not...but there are some that will. I have had experience of a suspect who fled the courthouse, killed a homeowner and was helped out by people in the "hood". I have had experience of a redneck who tried to kill a cop...who was helped out by other rednecks in a redneck area of the county. So, obviously you don't know what I have experienced.

I don't know what station you are watching/listening to, but they ARE saying he is a black man with a medium complexion. They are not leaving out the detail of him being black, AND they are showing a picture. You keep saying that they are just saying he is of medium complexion and that is simply not true. It's not that I'm a big fan of the media, but in this case they are describing him accurately.

Snap quiz for you don-o...

    The defendant, who has a history of prior felony conviction, is as follows...

      6'1" / 200 lb, on trial for rape, sodomy, kidnapping, weapons violations (including possession of machine gun), drug violations. The previous day, he attempted to smuggle a knife into the courtroom.

    What kind of judge refuses to shackle him or even apply a stun belt under the defendant's shirt while he's out of his cell?

      A. A liberal judge.

      B. A conservative judge.

I don't know what news you're watching but he was being described as BLACK here in New York all day, on the television and radio.
