Sometimes you need to use a bigger 2 x 4 ...
This is absurd. It doesn’t matter if he was guilty or innocent. It is immoral to hold someone for a year-and-a-half without CHARGING him and TRYING him. Even if he did shoot the victim, the police there should be culled of several people and the DA should be serving time.
I agree. I never said they should have held the man.
Wow. It must've been really hard for you to say "blacks". We know what you mean ...
Why are idiot posts like this tolerated on FR? Yet, conservatives are zotted?
Having spent some time incarcerated, i can tell any of you who haven’t been, if he is innocent, $10 million might cover it.
What are you talking about? No need to be a jerk.
It is true that a lot of blacks will not snitch on other blacks. If you didn’t know that, you are ignorant.
Did the man commit the crime? I really know nothing about the man’s guilt or innocence. Should they have held him? Absolutely not.
I am really not sure what you’re trying to imply. If you’re trying to imply racism, I feel very confident that I will see and talk with a lot more black & white prisoners this month than you. I also feel confident I will do more to help some needy black families this week than you. I have voluntarily given thousands of dollars and my time to help people in the “black” community so please spare me if that’s what you’re implying.
A new car, a no mortgage new home and a full bank account would probably keep me satisfird
Possible deal - if I get paid, you get paid....
“Given that the incompetent government worker drones will never be held to account for this, the sum is actually quite reasonable.”
How does that make it reasonable? The people responsible are not going to be paying it, so it’s not punitive. And close to $20,000 a day would be coming out of the pockets of taxpayers who had no control over or even knowledge of the situation. How about if something like that happened where you lived, and your share came to a few thousand dollars. Would that seem reasonable to you?
Your racism detector is set to the sensitive side. Where is the racism in calling groups of black people 'blacks' ???
“This is absurd. It doesn’t matter if he was guilty or innocent. It is immoral to hold someone for a year-and-a-half without CHARGING him and TRYING him. Even if he did shoot the victim, the police there should be culled of several people and the DA should be serving time.”
Agreed. Never mind immoral, there are numerous laws on the books that should put several local government officials behind bars for a decade over this incident. And part of the 10 million (which the victim deserves) should come from their fines. The rest should come directly from the people of DeKalb county, as punishment for tolerating a corrupt and incompetent government. Doesn’t it say somewhere in some important governmental document something about fair and speedy trials?
This was no different than kidnapping, except under color of law.
“And close to $20,000 a day would be coming out of the pockets of taxpayers who had no control over or even knowledge of the situation. “
Ahh...there’s the problem. So, the collective “you” voted for these people...so that’s the end of your responsibility, right?
It happened in a district where politicians and officials that they voted for DID or SHOULD HAVE HAD have control of and knowledge of the situation.
If the citizens are punished financially for making bad choices, perhaps they will wake up and make better choices - that is, “hire” better people who will make better decisions.
Explain why his rude post was necessary.

That is certainly a possibility. Amazing some on here can’t get that. They really don’t know how it works.
