THREE people died because of an incompetent guard.  Of course she didnt deserve to be shot in the head for being a woman, but its a fitting end to the carnage that she allowed to happen.

Up in CT, if there is someone being led by police to the court room, it means they've already been in jail for what they are accussed of (couldn't make bail, etc.) and are certainly handcuffed throughout the proceedings.

Why on earth they didn't have him cuffed, is beyond me.  "Influence a jury"???  People already hate accused rapists, a little dinky set of handcuffs wouldn't set them off anymore.

I guess THAT law's getting changed.

Thrawn,

You know damn well what right I was talking about. The right to be alive.

If you want to troll over the death of 3 people who died in the line of duty you can do it without me. I find that particularly disgusting.

FWIW, PC or not there was no reason not to have him cuffed. The jury could be kept outside of the courtroom until the defendant is seated at the table. There also needed to be more than just one bailif in the courtroom.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Saw the defense attorney in an interview this morning.
He said that there was a very noticeable lack of security for such a trial and that it had been discussed.
He said that the judge himself had expressed concern over the safety of the defense attorney in the event of a guilty verdict.

Most of us could take the gun away from a female cop...we don't tho and neither do the criminals because of either the backup or respect/fear of the law.

Police all retire at the age of about 50.  There is no reason that they can't all be fit, large males as part of the requirement.

I believe frisco was the first to say that it was "unfair" that only large males were allowed to be cops and that asians of 5'2" should be allowed.  Been downhill ever since.

I know some cops will chime in here and talk about how great their female partner is but they all know that she couldn't do the job without either help or the reluctance/good sense to really resist that the aresstee normally has

They do the same thing with firefighters Lazs- they lower the physical requirements to allow females in without regard to the ability of women to do the job.

I'm all for equality, but if I'm in a burning building and my rescurer is a woman then I'm afraid I'm toast...literally.

yep.. firefighters too.

If you are a cop or a firefighter in California you are on pers retirement... if you start at say age 25 and go to age 52 you will retire with about 90% of your last years salary every month for the rest of your life.

I don't think it is too much to ask that they all be fit, strong males that can subdue a criminal by themselves or carry poor ol airhead out of a burning building.

The peoples families of those shot in the courtroom should sue for the system allowing a weak fat woman to be armed and pretend to be protecting us.

As a point of interest, the Fulton County Jail and the Fulton County Sheriff's Department are both already under Federal investigation, and have been for quite some time. And no one in Fulton County is accepting the slightest bit of responsibility for what happened (big surprise huh). I'm not at all a fan of lawsuits, but in this case the families of the judge, of the stenographer, and of the Customs agent should all sue the County of Fulton along with the involved departments. And the state or the Feds should take control immediately (not that I'm a big fan of the Feds either). What happened was entirely preventable and inexcuseable.

Why does a guard in a courthouse that has to stand or handle the criminals have a gun anyway?


Shouldnt a taser be more appropiate?

There are many civil rights cases were a all white jury aquitted a defendant in a state trial and then were tried in federal court for "Violation of Civil Rights".  

It's what helped to bring down the Klan.

Apparently the dead do have the right to justice.
