@liennto sadly no - now 40yrs of the tax payers money wasted :(

well maybe he will get shanked inside though - there is always hope !

@silentfades

We can hope.

The officers should just stand down while the guy is hacking at his neck and give him a fair chance to save the taxpayers some cash. Hell, help him out, give him a good knife so long as he'll only use it on himself--maybe you'll get lucky and he'll attack someone else and you have an excuse to shoot his vermin ass dead.

@destin865 why did he cut the girl? Must have provoked him.

Anyone can be driven to violence with enough provocation. Society just adds fuel to the rage with all their contempt and lack of understanding.

courthouses are gettin too naive

[formula112967]

If the court officer found a razor on him, why didn't they do a strip search on him and secure him in handcuffs and anle shackles?
