Current Events: More on the Atlanta Shootings

I have learned some more about the recent shootings in Atlanta, and what we have here is either some stupid officials in charge, or one feisty grandmother. Or both.

Apparently, the woman didn't have the gun on her. (This was apparently all caught on video tape) She had the gun locked up, and as soon as she took the handcuffs of him, he forced the key from her, and went and got the gun himself.

Now, Nichols is 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, and a former college linebacker. Cynthia Ann Hall is a five-foot, fifty-one year-old petit grandmother. But according to the accounts released as of now, there was a three-minute struggle before he got the keys from her. Three minutes! It took a big linebacker three minutes to take down an old grandmother! Either these reports are exaggerated, or we have one feisty grandmother here. Maybe it wasn't as ludicrous as I thought to leave her alone with the guy.

So, kudos and my respect to the poor woman who had to guard this dangerous rapist and murderer all by herself, and also managed to keep him off for three whole minutes!! Good job, Cynthia! I hope you recover from your injuries swiftly so you can testify and put this guy away for good.
