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 bet they are blaming the "racist white system" for making this "poor black man" get "black rage" and have to shoot people over in DUmmie land.

If she had not gone in his cell alone, against protocol, it would not have happened from what I am hearing. It could have happened to a man or woman who was alone with this guy.

Nobody has said what you are speculating about. Why start stirring things up with such speculations at this point?

Your tin foil hat is pulling in some bizarre signals.

You're right. I better wait until dozens of Atlanta police officers storm the downtown theater where Motorist Brian Nichols went, without paying for a ticket, to take in a movie this afternoon...

This has got to be incredibly difficult for Nancy Grace tonight--but she's doing this for her friends, the victims of these heinous crimes.

Jury nulification based solely on race is a way of life in washington DC. In fact it is one of the worst kept secrets of the DC courts. But the MSM does not cover that because it is pro black racism.

For better or worse, this is how live threads go. Eventually news gets slow and side conversations form.

If this thread were only actual news items it would be about 100 posts. We haven't had anything that is really new since about 10 or 11 am.

"...liberals might say I'm being racist by calling this guy an animal..."

Those would be the same liberals who compare Condi Rice to Aunt Jemima and Colin Powell to a "house negro."

The woman with the gun should never ever have entered this man's cell with her weapon. Procedure says she hands the gun to someone outside the cell when she enters.

Exactly. Actually, the procedure is that you remove the clip and put it in your pocket or some other place. I have seen this done.

If the story is correct that the female deputy was in the room alone with the perp while he was changing clothes--that is strange.

1. We don't have a basement.

2. We have a very nosy and vocal Labrador Retriever and three Siamese cats ditto. A cockroach doesn't move in this house without us being alerted to the fact seriatim and in extenso.

3. Our Lab wouldn't hurt a fly, but to hear her tell us that the UPS man is in the yard you would think she is a 100 pound Rottweiler. The CATS are the ones you have to look out for . . .

Watching her is heartbreaking! She seems to have been a freind of the court reporter. She said they went to NYC together.

How many times has this scenario taken place because the officer was female? If there is some pattern we should address it. As they say in MO, show me.

So you need to see more people die in this manner rather than investigate what the problem really was in this case. More people dead versus women's hurt little feelings...that apparently seems like a "fair" trade to you. Got it.
