As a resident/taxpayer in Atlanta/Fulton Co. for 35 years, I am outraged (and I've calmed down some) at the incompetence of the Sheriff's Dept. and subsequently, other agencies in this whole thing. Why was a 51 yr old female deputy the only person with this man? On Wed., they found 2 concealed homemade knives in his shoes! On Thurs., the judge asked for more security! Yesterday PM, the prosecutor said "he'd never been violent before!" What about the crime he was on trial for?
After he carjacked the car from the reporter in a garage, and they put out the all-region APB for the car, why did no one double-check the garage? It was found in same garage at 11PM last night. With all the agencies involved, including the FBI, why didn't someone think of that? Lots of wasted time.
Then to learn this AM of another murder, of a federal agent innocently working on his home under construction!
I'm certainly happy this person was finally apprehended, but have to be honest and say I wish the outcome hadn't been so peaceful for him! To think of all the lives he has affected just makes me sick!
