Anyone else laughing at that?

On this board, you think people are LAUGHING at the thought of you wrestling Arlie? You don't know these guys very well

My four thoughts on the Atlanta situation:

- It's been brought up in at least one article that extra security for this trial was specifically requested after they found the shanks on this guy the day before. One 5' 51-year-old-grandmother does not sound like extra security. I can understand typical complacency, but an event had already occurred that should have snapped them out of complacency on this one guy in particular.

- Can you see the lawsuits rolling in now that it turns out people weren't even watching the security cameras? Jobs will be lost and money made off the city over that one alone.

- Condolences to all involved. Several lives lost that had nothing to do with botching security at the courthouse. A true tragedy.

- TV movie in 3 months, books start rolling in six. Have to wait a year or more for any that try to accurately get to the root of what happened.
