[Vision2020] Atlanta Murders

Below is a "Blog" from Doug Wilson:



Murder and Folly in Atlanta
Topic: Current Events

The courtroom shooting in Atlanta has served to illustrate, as though we 
needed another illustration of it, the mind-numbing stubbornness of the 
current PC codes. The murders of the judge and two others occurred, along 
with an apparent fourth victim later, because a large, muscular defendant 
was escorted to court, guarded by a female sherriff's deputy. He overpowered 
her, took her gun, shot the victims, and took off. What is astounding in all 
this is the defense of the policy after the fact. (And, no, I am not 
maintaining that no male guard has ever been overpowered by a prisoner, 
etc.) What I am saying -- and simply look at the fact that I have to argue 
for this position! -- is that size and strength matters in a job like law 
enforcement. Further, though I don't want to go out on a limb here, size and 
strength have been noticed by some cutting edge researchers to have some 
sort of corrolation with sex. But the law enforcement establishment down in 
Atlanta is solemnly maintaining that whether an enforcement officer is male 
or female has absolutely nothing to do with whether they can do their job. 
And what this means that though the murderer is directly responsible for 
these deaths, he is not the only one who bears responsibility. Hatred kills. 
But so does folly.

This is the type of tripe he forces his church to believe in - women can not 
do what a man does simply due to her being "smaller" or not as big as a man 
apparently is presumed to be.  This, without even seeing who this woman is 
or just how she does compare to Nichols in size, weight, ability, etc.  Fact 
is, he overpowered her in an elevator - something he seems to have been 
planning for a while as he knew exactly what to do and when to do it.  I 
suspect it would not have mattered what gender the guard was - it would have 
happened.

I just read the CNN report of the capture of this guy - the picture with the 
article clearly shows a WOMAN deputy escorting him away, along with other 
deputys around.  It is very clear she is just as tall as Nichols and seems 
not only comfortable about handling him, but seems to have the confidence of 
her fellow enforcement officers with her.

The officer that Nichols overpowered is lying in a hospital in critical 
condition, with a bruised brain, cracked skull and various other injuries.  
Do you see anywhere in Doug's tirade where he wishes her well or that he is 
concerned with her health?  How commpassionate can he be if all he does is 
rag on her being female in what HE thinks should be a man's line of work?

I have been to courthouses over the years - seems to me the women deputys 
are just as capable as any other deputy.  Also seems to me that if she 
weren't, she would not have a job.

Also, as the JUDGE elected to turn off the alarm system in his court house 
(he didn't want the public to feel like he was unaccessable) he may not have 
died that day - perhaps none of the others would be either.

In any light, Nichols, not the guard, not the judge, not the other people 
that were killed, is to blame for this crime.  That point also seems to have 
been lost on Doug.  Guess the clouds must have passed below his throne for a 
second and he missed all of that action.
