Bold face is mine -- this shows how retarded the APD was in finding this predator.

Yet, the gun grabbers would have you believe that the police will protect you. To which I say...then why do you have a fire extinquisher in your home, won't the Fire Dept protect you?

Then again, facts don't count when you're dealing with feeeeeelings.

The same people who didnt shackle him after they found he had a shank and the same people who had a 5'3 and fifty something year old woman watching him were the ones out looking for him I guess

Police asked, " 'Which way did he go?' " Holston recalled.

Did they sound like THIS!?!

Just another example of a beautiful American city ruined by the left.

Not trapping him in the parking garage probably saved Nichols' life, but I'm sure they would have tried to if they had been able to repsond in time.


I'm reminded of "First Blood" when the Sheriff is asking John Rambo's Colonel how he would handle it, The Colonel responds that they should just let him go and he would be picked up somewhere in Seattle on a misdemeanor and brought in without a fuss. The Sheriff then responds to the effect that this was not an option, the Colonel then tells him to make sure he brings a lot of body bags.

they probably did. thats the first thing I thought of. This whole thing is such a sad situation, but, if you follow the hostage's story, it may work out for the greater good, as he has a way to witness to other inmates behind bars now.

It's painful to watch Atlanta looking foolish, but I hope this cleans up some of the city circus we Atlantans have to deal with.

Atlanta PD didn't learn a thing after the Olympic bombing cock-up.

The ICE agent died so this piece of garbage can witness to our pieces of garbage?

And four people had to die for him to 'witness' to others behind bars?

Pardon my cynicism, but I don't think so!

The fall out of too many chase scenes and not enough real hunters. Anyone whose hunted deer or turkey knows you can't hunt by chasing -- you have to pick a good spot and wait.

you are both entitled to your cynicism. your beliefs are your own. only time will tell which of our perspectives on the issue is correct. There may be some good come of this yet. That is all I was stating.

The Atlanta police should have thought outside the box. The Marta transit system was a smart move on the part of Nichols. And once Nichols got to Lenox Square, he could travel unnoticed in the "green" area between Lenox road and GA 400, behind a 20 foot wall that hid him from travelers on GA 400. I'm not sure he did travel via the GA 400 route, but it was a perfect route for him to take.

A lot of mistakes were made, but I find it hard to place too much blame on the APD. I'm pointing to the courthouse/jail for most of the fault.

Did anybody catch the Atlanta DA respond to the comment about having a 51-year-old 5'1" woman watch the suspect? He says it's not about size or strength, but it's about "heart". What a friggin' maroon.
