The Atlanta Disgrace<br>

<a href="http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1436689,00.html">Several people have died</a> because of political correctness.  A big male prisoner is unhandcuffed and escorted by a little old  female "guard".  Was that asking for trouble or not?  <br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/atlanta/0305/13courttimeline.html">Here is the relevant excerpt from what happened</a>:  <br>
<br>
<blockquote>"Brian Nichols, 34, is taken from the Fulton County Jail in northwest Atlanta to Fulton's new Justice Tower downtown. The tower backs up to the old courthouse. In a holding cell, Nichols' handcuffs are removed so he can change from his jail uniform to civilian clothes for his rape trial before Barnes. Sheriff's Deputy Cynthia Hall, 51, of Jonesboro is escorting him.....  In or near the holding cell, Nichols attacks Deputy Hall. They struggle for at least three minutes. Nichols slams the deputy into the wall, takes her handgun and shoots her in the head. He flees with her weapon.    Nichols crosses the 8th-floor skybridge linking the Justice Tower to the old courthouse. He takes three people hostage and enters the judge's private chambers. He rips out the telephone and searches the three for cell phones. He pops in and out of the office, returning with another deputy at gunpoint. He has taken the deputy's gun.   Nichols handcuffs the deputy and pulls him into a closet. He then leaves. Moments later, shots are heard by his three captives.   Witnesses say Nichols entered the courtroom from a door behind Judge Barnes' bench and shoots the judge in the back of the head. He then shoots court reporter Julie Ann Brandau of Snellville. Neither survive".  </blockquote><br>

<i>[Because of "diversity" some of the guards have to be female of course and age cannot be mentioned.  How "correct"!  Because of  "respect" for criminals, he was not handcuffed when taken into court.  How "sensitive"!]</i><br>
