Courthouse rampage in Atlanta

The article below talks more about the alleged (and I say that with not a grain but about a pound of salt) killer, but something else I want to discuss first. How do you have a martial arts expert being led to his trail by a lone deputy, a female at that. Don't get too fired up about the deputy being female, same thing might just as easily have happened to a guy. But only having one person guarding him, that just does not make sense. Especially when you consider that they found shanks in his socks a day or two before and the prosecutor had requested extra security. Then to top that off, a camera catches it all but no one is paying attention. These people should not have died.

As far as the article, this guys family says that he is "A good person". Someone is either delusional or spending too much time with the crack pipe. How can you refer to someone that just killed several people as "a good person" How about a homicidial maniac that should get the death penalty? And this is a case where if there ever was a reason for someone to get a beatdown from the police, this scumbag deserved it. But that still does not excuse the breakdowns in the system that allowed this to happen and ulitmately cost several innocent people their lives.
