I've seen some female gym teachers that could've handled this guy -

This is exactly the sort of politically correct assumption that directly led to this tragedy.

You're welcome. His perspective on this caused me to think - a lot. Like most of you, I suspect, I'm a borderline talk junkie. In my opinion, Jim is the best: no PC, no-holds-barred, thoughtful, and right to the point. And when he finds a piece from someone else, he credits them and uses it masterfully. I've been listening to him for almost 10 years and I'm convinced that a number of other, more well-known national talk types listen to him "occasionally" themselves.

I thought that the politically correct assumption that led to this tragedy was that a 5 foot tall 52 year old woman couldve handled this guy.

This was a large and strong male convict against a woman placed (by PC reasoning) in a position where the ultimate outcome was hardly in doubt.

Does anybody else think the Marines have their finger on something important most our military and civilian leadership seems to have forgotten?

Ok, I stand corrected. She sure as hell looked tough though! :)

Some women try really hard to look and act like men. But the Atlanta Murders show what happens when we as a socirty buy into the myth that women and men are interchanable.

I agree that some of those body builders look mean. But I want men to protect me.

Wrong!! the Gwinnett county cops were the ones taking down this offender without incident and responded forthwith as soon as the woman made the 911 call. Before that, they had no information he was in the county. Your observations on the Atlanta PD are accurate, the escape occurred there, the car hijacking, the perp getting onto Marta unobserved, and the killing of the fed, the city of Atlanta ought to be abolished it is a cesspool of waste, Incompetence, political cronies and rank corruption...

[ConservativeStatement]

Where is Mike Farrell? Is he waiting for a verdict before supporting the killer?

[ManHunter]

It appears we agree on this incident, but you should be aware that the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office (SO) is responsible for court security and prisoner transport. That's why I referred to the Gwinnett County SO - not the County Police, which is a different department.

"I believe that a woman can do anything a man can do."

Tell that to the president of Harvard U.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

You got your Georgia counties mixed up, the escape took place in the Fulton County Courthouse "manned" by the Fulton County SO,,, the Gwinnett County SO had nothing to do with it.

[ManHunter]

You're absolutely right - my mistake. Apologies.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

Accepted,,you all come yonder and visit sometimes....!
