I don't think this has anything to do with lack of security in the courthouses here in the U.S. It's just a matter of the security being caught off-guard as this type of situation is very rare. |

Political correctness and incompetence often embrace each other. That was made clear in the Atlanta courthouse shooting. Brian Nichols proved to be a lot smarter than his captors, not to mention a quicker and better shot. Political correctness and incompetence example No. 1 is the rule that prisoners must not be shackled lest it prejudice the jury. Luckily, the jurors weren't present, but if they had been, watching a prisoner shoot a judge and a court reporter would certainly be more prejudicial than seeing him in handcuffs. I expect even the incompetent people in Fulton County will change that rule. |

I frequently read Ann Coulter's weekly column. Sometimes I miss it. This week I didn't.
She is funny, sarcastic, and very, VERY good with words.
Here is her take on the Brian Nichols case:

I'll leave it to the Catholics to explain the theological details, but we have a beautiful pair of bookmarks to the exact same incident illustrating women's special skills and deficits. The escape and capture of Brian Nichols shows women playing roles they should not (escorting dangerous criminals) and women playing roles they do best (making men better people). |
