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.

I don't think she meant for this to happen.

The case can be made that the female officer was actually IN on it...that's why she survived.

The guy was sharp, computer-savvy MIS with UPS, being framed by some neighbor or relative for something he NEVER did. He's caught up in the Georgia (Cool Hand Luke) corrupt criminal justice system & Good 'Ole Boys network. His livlihood destroyed, HIS life ruined.

The game is rigged for the political advancement of the female ADA, career-climber. Everybody knows it. The Judge knows it. The female guard knows it & helps him set this thing in motion...She sympathizes with his plight...

It's the "medium-black" man's Thomas Crown Affair. He's on the plane to Switzerland...laughing.

Learn to live with it.

"...'nice' family..."

Oops, there goes Nichols' "abuse excuse." Wouldn't it be hilarious if all these family friends got subpoenaed by prosecution to testify about what a "nice" family Nichols came from?

I have a feeling he is a gonner he has nothing to lose except his life and he knows either he will kill himself or he will have the cops do the deed instead.

I was living in NO in 1965 and went to that Carnival. I was in a huge crush of people in the quarter and a policeman put his arm on my face pushing me back. I bit him and didn't get arrested. He said "lady, why did you have to do that, that hurt"


Mardi Gras isn't what it used to be.

If she was in on it, why shoot her in the mouth for goodness sake.

We are getting overly paranoid around here if you ask me.

The city of Atlanta is all about pecking-order patronage. That's from top to bottom. Nothing's going to change there. Wait and see. Oh, there will be some new window-dressing and maybe even a commissioned "study." But don't think for one minute that the concept of personal responsibility and personal merit is going to be reinstated.

I just finished dinner and was wrapping some leftovers in tin foil.

I think I have a better use for that foil now. (<:

just my opinion but this crime supercedes the race issue.

It's not the race issue, it's the sex issue - whether women should be allowed to be EMTs or jailers. Go back up the thread and you'll see people complaining about watching a woman EMT unable to load a stretcher-borne patient into an ambulance alone, and of course the whole thing started with the big bad criminal disarming the allegedly woman jailer.

Gotta a lot of complaints, too, about defendants not being routinely trussed up and rolled into court on dollys...

I suggest coffee and donuts, foods that made America Great.

They and smokes got us to the Moon.

yogurt and tofu got us Amazon and Google.

Don't be ridiculous. OF COURSE I blame the animal who murdered the 3 people.

SHOOT HIM ON SIGHT.

I am merely commenting on the lack of common sense and the political correctness that created the WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY for this animal (liberals might say I'm being racist by calling this guy an animal, but again, I am JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS) to attack and murder with impunity.

By the way, this guy WAS in custody, and was being transported by ONE LONE FEMALE (as "luck" would have it, the only one who survived the incident) to the holding area outside the courtroom. I'm sure she is in shock, and probably blames herself for the tragedy, but again, it is her superiors, and the liberal, politically-correct mindset they subscribe to, that is the real culprit here.

My only question is how many more Americans are going to have to die in the name of political correctness?

Good question.

I agree the gun did nothing wrong but (and this is a very large but) if the gun had never been there nobody would have been shot and I doubt if anyone would have been fatally injured. Cops do not need guns in courthouses anymore than those being placed on trial. I worked in a maximum prison as a counselor for five years. No guns whatsoever were allowed past the main gate of that prison. We never had a serious injury despite many fights and riots. If guns had been present I am positive there would have been people shot at some time or the other.

She has a GSW to the head and is not thinking about this tonight. She is said to have facial fractures and a "bruised" brain. We keep hearing different versions about what happened. Was he being escorted or was he in the cell"

Seems like we could wait before getting into who is to blame.

Everyone is picking his favorite issue,,women, PC, Atlanta politics, etc. Pretty soon illegal aliens and Terry Sciavo and M Jackson will be mentioned.

Your tin foil hat is pulling in some bizarre signals.

This is lunacy.

A PERFECT description of the environment (liberal, politically-correct, inner-city politicians in charge of ass-kissing sheriff's and po-lice chiefs) in Fulton County, GA.

No I agree a woman cannot physically handle the job, however even 1 large male would not have been enough for this defendant. It needed to be 2. That is what I meant.

Watching Nancy Grace, now I hope that she is able to hold on for the hour. As they went out for commercial she just dropped her head. I guess her heart is breaking again tonight.

Thanks...I MAY have heard it wrong there from Montana Central & could probably use some fresh tinfoil anyway.
