Where's Rusty

Hey, ladies! Can we stop the social experimentation before someone gets killed? Oops, too late. Someone did. Several good people were killed by an evil one last week courtesy of the Fulton County justice system, favored by criminals and NFL players everywhere by a 3-1 margin for it's emphasis on out-patient jailing. But to be fair, DA Paul Howard did get Jamal Lewis off the streets. God knows how many cell phone calls couldn't get through because he was busy gabbing about drugs on his Nokia.

A rapist was led into his hearing unhandcuffed by a female baliff. The evil man overpowered the female, which came as quite a surprise to everyone except those with at least 2 senses, took her gun, then shot the judge on the bench, another deputy, and a female court reporter. Are we in Mayberry or Medellin? And how many breaths did SCOTUS' own Judge Anthony "From a moral standpoint, it would be misguided to equate the failings of a minor with those of an adult" Kennedy take before finding out the perpetrator was over the age of 18?

Once again, as we watch our North Fulton tax dollars flush into the coffers of that inept little dyke Shotlanta has for a mayor, the latest in a long line of the-rotten-to-the-core Maynard Jackson legacies, we are reminded that social engineering and big city political patronage always bears fruit in an innocent's coffin. And this tree had an awful lot of fertilizer. Mixing a violent black multiple offender whose official government victim status precludes him from being cuffed and affords him the luxury of being escorted to court by an overweight female bailiff, certainly would look like a leading indicator of a bumper harvest of trouble.

"This is a profound shock. It's so unthinkable, it's like a 9-11 at the courthouse," said fellow Judge Craig Schwall. I'm just curious why this judge doesn't think it's perfectly normal for a criminal suspect to massacre people in a courtroom and escape from the 8th floor of the building in record time? I don't know about 9/11, but 3/11 is really getting out of hand. Last year in Spain, and this year in Atlanta, if avoidable tragedies are becoming the hallmark of March 11, then we would be wise to at least make St. Patrick's Day an official government holiday to ease the pain. With all due respect, the unthinkable only happens when people in charge are not thinking, Your Honor. Here's a little "Honey Do" list for the folks in Fulton County government, and other interested parties who don't wish to be murdered at work:

• Hire only men, preferably over 6'3" and 225 lbs. for public safety positions;
• Pay them enough to make it worthwhile;
• Train them properly;
• Fire any public safety personnel who can't see their shoes while standing, or has sciatica from wearing a gun belt. While this is a rich Fulton Co. policing tradition, it should go the way of Vicki Lawrence.
• Make our justice system colorblind. Secure all persons accused of violent crimes, or with a history of violent crime, with leg and handcuffs at all times, regardless of racial, sexual, or religious background, and double those chains and put a hood on them if they come from a traditionally suspect group regardless of racial, sexual, or religious background.
• Hire judges who believe that criminals of all ages should be punished.
• Cut back on the parade of restrictions placed on people with Georgia CCW permits.
• Save another deputy and judge's life. This suspect should immediately be furnished with two bullets in the back of his head. Trials are benefits reserved for civilization. Send a message that we are not in Colombia (see also...District of)
• If this list doesn't make sense to you, volunteer to be placed in a correctional facility for a period of 7 days, and then re-read the list.

Here's a quote from an Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter after having almost having his head made into a yummy omelet by the still innocent-until-proven-guilty fleeing suspect:

"This person pulled in beside me, and I noticed that he had pulled into a handicapped spot. He was a young, athletic looking black man, and he didn't have a shirt on, but I figured he was probably in town for the basketball tournament."

Finally, some honest prejudice from the last estate, although not enough to save this fella's head from the butt end of a pistol. It takes a pillage to change a liberal. Maybe there's still hope. I'm told area hotels have put new messages on their marquees:

"Welcome, newly-minted conservatives!"
