Sheriffs in Georgia can’t seem to hold on to their thug prisoners.
After they let this thug kill three people, escape, and kill another, you’d think they learned from a mistake that caused grief for families burying loved ones struck down by a thug who should never again see the light of day, the same mistake that became a national embarrassment and highlighted Fulton County’s dangerous, politically correct hiring policies and general incompetence.
But they haven’t. Another thug escaped. Fortunately he didn’t kill anyone; he was almost killed. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (use BugMeNot to bypass the annoying registration):
The inmate apparently thought he had found refuge Wednesday at a Norcross apartment a former girlfriend had listed as her address, authorities said.
Instead, Richardson was stabbed and beaten by the apartment’s residents before running into nearby woods, Kelley said….The Sheriff’s Fugitive Unit coordinated the search for Richardson with Corrections Department personnel, she said….After the stabbing, Richardson went to another Norcross residence where he was “chased out of the house. He fled on foot,” Kelley said.
Someone then called 911 to report a “suspicious person” at Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Buford Highway, she said….The Gwinnett Police Department’s Canine Unit apprehended Richardson in that area about 7 p.m., Kelley said.
Richardson, who has been in and out of the Gwinnett jail seven times since 1998, was serving two years for probation violation, according to Sheriff’s Department records….Richardson disappeared about 2 p.m. Tuesday from a 32-man detail working at the Recycling Bank of Gwinnett at 4300 Satellite Blvd. in Duluth. Three officers were guarding the inmates at the time.
The Gwinnett County sheriff better thank his lucky stars that this thug criminal has the IQ of a walnut, as do most. After escaping, what do they do? Go directly to their girlfriend’s apartment, the first place cops know to look. Bunch of idiots, the whole lot of them.

So what’s new? Atlanta cops didn’t search courthouse killer’s cell following discovery of metal in shoes 2 days before murders.
Recently, this “victims advocate” said cops and mayor Shirly Franklin were being “racist” for insisting “the homeless” stay out of downtown Atlanta – because they are driving tourists and businesses away.
No doubt, discipline of Atlanta police and administrators would be considered “racist”.
“…stabbed and beaten…” Yowza!!
And if the thugs are idiots, that sure doesn’t say much good about the cops who let them escape.
Atlanta should give those apartment residents a reward. Move over Charles Bronson!
Just an observation:
I used to live in Gwinnett County (i.e., Norcross, Duluth, Snellville, etc.). Gwinnett has had more than its fair share of news lately. The runaway bride was from Duluth (well, that was the starting point was for her MAD dash). The Atlanta courthouse shooter was captured at an apartment complex in Duluth (at the home of the brave Ashley Smith). Last year’s runner-up in American Idol (Diana DeGarmo) was from Snellville. There also was a recent taser-death occurrence that has caused a commotion. Now they’re dealing with all this.
It is a nice place to live, but I guess with 500K or 600K residents, you’re bound to get some good folks and some bad apples.
According to Hannity & Colmes:

A once-deported illigal alien from Mexico raped and murdered a 4yr old girl in Hall County, Georgia and escaped. It is feared that he may be in Mexico already in which case he is home free unless authorities are willing to take the death penalty off the table.
Note: I’ve found nothing on this anywhere else.
Mike, you might be interested to know that a horrifying shooting of a mail carrier occurred in the Snellville area yesterday – the shooter turned himself in immediately and it turns out he is in failing health and way over his head in debt, and wanted to commit a felony so that the Fed would take care of him, just like Eric Robert Rudolph!
LaShawn – ain’t the AJC.com registration the worst? You have to come up with a username AND an e-mail address to log in if you don’t tell them to remember you!
anonymous,
I didn’t hear about that. That’s a shame.
I lived in a Gwinnett (Norcross) apartment five years ago. After about a year in the apartment, I found out that someone had shot a bunch of holes into the wall of my apartment when the previous residents lived there. I think it was some type of drive-by. Of course, the management at the complex didn’t tell me about that before I took the apartment. I had to hear it from one of my neighbors after I had settled in. Thankfully, I now have a house in Cobb that I love.
Still, though, I think Gwinnett was a pretty decent place. I just happened to live in the “belly of the beast” of the county.
More problems with the catch and release system of the liberals
