Because the cops were good cops and they followed the rules. I'm sure they all wanted to kill him, but he has a right to a trial just like anyone else.

Because he has rights

Just because everyone knows he killed three people and that he is a liar and that he has a long history of violence doesn't mean he should not be treated with respect!

Oh no...this man must be given his day in court (again) until the state proves he is actually guilty.


In the mean time...the victims of this crime has no rights what so ever.  They are just dead.

No shit. Innocent till proven guilty is a courtroom concept. The thinking man outside of the system is not under the same restraints. Only idiots, lawyers or newsmen will say "allegedly" about this piece of shit. Guilty as charged. Only the formalities remain.

I think this may be one of the major issues between Joe Citizen and Police.  Joe Citizen (like me) believes the laws do not get enforced fairly on hardened criminals, yet are excessive for smaller crimes (ie DUI and they take your car).

Only if the killing was while the agent was on duty or was a result of the agent’s position or on-duty activities.

Strikes me as really strange that (as far as we know right now) the only person Nichols killed after escaping the Courthouse area was an armed Fed.

Did Nichols know the agent was armed and wanted the handgun (IIRC the one he had was nearly empty)?  Was the agent carrying his handgun visibly?  Did the agent have any decal or such on his truck indicating he was a FLEO?

Or maybe the agent tried to arrest Nichols and lost out on the encounter?

Just strange!

It looks like the murder of the ICE agent was random. Nichols approached him as he was off duty and working on the construction of his new home. Why he murdered him is anyones guess though I doubt that he was armed while doing construction work. More likely, his weapon and Creds. were in his truck which Nichols took from the scene..

Women as a group are both less strong and less aggressive than men as a group, no argument.

IIRC, a few years ago there was a somewhat similar situation with a female US Marshal who had her firearm taken by a prisoner just convicted of murder.  The prisoner used the firearm to kill another marshal and a local LEO.

And I certainly agree that asking a lone female deputy to escort this guy was irresponsible, esp. given his track record.

However, the actual issue is more of her being alone, rather than of her sex.

Having a lone male deputy escorting this guy would probably have reduced the likelihood of what happened, but there’s certainly no guarantee that it would have prevented the same occurrence.

Lots of LEO’s have been killed with their own firearms – and many of them were men.

Advocating death as a penalty for defending accused criminals in court is insanity. Advocating death as a penalty for promoting a client's interest in legal proceedings is insanity. My point of contention is that any number of asswipes have posted in this thread that this guy's lawyer should be held responsible for his crimes because the lawyer asked that his client not appear before the jury in chains. My point is this: If Brian what's-his-name doesn't get a defense, neither do you. Secondarily, the guy's opportunity didn't arise because he was unshackled before the jury; he wasn't even in the building where the trial was to be held when he started his spree.

Five-O, re-read: there's no reference in my post to the presumption of innocence. The guy is clearly guilty. He deserves to die, after a jury says so.  Are you saying he doesn't get a trial? Are you saying that any lawyer who represents him should be killed?

I sincerely hope that each of you who has expressed these unworthy and foolhardy sentiments finds himself or a loved one wrongly accused of a vicious and unforgiveable crime. The reason that the guys who wrote the 2d amendment also wrote the 6th is that every man accused of a crime gets a vigorous defense with a lawyer who serves only his interests, or nobody does. They wrote the 6th amendment because they remembered the fear that John Hancock or Sam Adams might be tried and sentenced without counsel and without a jury in some special prerogative court ginned up by Parliament to ensure that they hanged.

Those of you who have condemned his lawyer for representing him, who have condemned criminal defense attorneys in general for vigorously defending their clients, are un-American. You may not deserve to roast in hell, but you don't deserve to meet George Washington in Heaven, either.
