Having said that, I'm on your side here. Anyone who thinks it wasn't a huge, unforgivable mistake to let a lone 5'1" woman escort this guy is delusional.

They should have had 91TTZ guard him.

Wow, that was clever.

6'1 210 is about average.

You're a weak pansy that I'd have absolutely no problem taking out, so it's understandable that you'd be intimidated by someone of his size. I've seen your picture, you're soft and chubby. You're not exactly athletic.

6'1" is average? Where the hell do you live?

At 210 lbs, this guy would be considered a heavyweight in boxing, MMA and kickboxing. Hardly what I would call "average." At his size, he's about your "average" sized running back in the NFL. I'm not saying his height and weight are anything to be terrified about, but it's a stretch to say he's "average."

She's paying for her mistake.
The beating she took on March 11, 2005, left her an invalid. The former Fulton County sheriff?s deputy is now blind in her right eye and her eyelid droops. Her brain damage is causing confusion, memory problems, difficulty with speech and she has difficulty walking unassisted

WTF? That's a horrible thing to say. I'm sorry, she may have made a mistake, but taking pleasure in someone's condition, especially one as debilitating that as is absolutely disgusting.

I didn't see a single word of pleasure in his post.

Your post was so impressive, your description of yourself so menacing, that it caused me to crawl into my bathtub and curl up in the fetal position for about 45 minutes.

Not trying to impress, but I was considered fairly big. There were plenty of dudes that dwarfed me...they were that much heavier...

I believe Arnold Schwarzengger was 206lbs when he was put into the GUINNESS WORLD BOOK OF RECORDS.

I know at his peak he was about 240ish. He was about 6'

Looks really average too me. :confused: Dude, you have made up you are a lifter face it.

I think Arnold's competition weight was in the 220's. And he was also using steroids so he'd be lower bodyfat and have more muscle than usual.

I posted my picture a while back so people already know what I look like. Obviously I'm not Arnold, but I'm not your typical skinny forum member who doesn't lift, either.

I'm 5'10 and about 190 lbs in that picture. For the record, I'd consider myself a small guy.

so you are just a braggart. Just on that pic I would not peg you as a 'small guy'.

You have lat definition through your shirt and tricep/bicep and most forearm muscles visible and not due to being overly thin.

It's like Arnold showing up in the room and saying he was only average.

I believe average height and weight in US is 5'10 and 185 lb. 20 years ago it was 175 lb, I believe the average is skewed by some obese 350lb men.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A jury convicted a man on Friday of murdering a judge in a courtroom and killing three other people during his escape from custody in a spree that gained him instant notoriety, the court said.

Police and the FBI launched a huge manhunt for Brian Nichols in March 2005 after he committed a string of crimes while escaping from the Fulton County Courthouse in Atlanta, where he was being tried for rape.

Prosecutors want the death penalty for Nichols, 36, who was convicted of 54 counts including murder, kidnapping, robbery, aggravated assault and carjacking, a court official said.

He could be sentenced to execution by lethal injection or life in prison. Nichols pleaded not guilty on the basis of insanity.

While being prepared for a court hearing in 2005, Nichols overpowered a security guard, took her gun and entered the courtroom where he shot dead Judge Rowland Barnes and a court reporter in front of several witnesses.

During his escape, he killed a deputy sheriff outside the court. In the manhunt that followed, Nichols killed a federal agent, hijacked several cars and held a woman hostage in her home north of Atlanta before giving himself up..

*bolded to see what people think about it.

? The gun should've been secured better? oh, the guy overpowered the girl...it should've been a rhino with that gun.

Happened in Upstate New York with two male Sheriff deputies in 1987. One deputy was killed and the other wounded.

That's 'an average'....not 'average'.

Where is he taking pleasure out of it?

I don't see it.

I am 6' 1" and currently 220 lbs.

the pic of me is when I was 190 lbs. way back in the day. I worked out all the time and was strong as hell, but it never showed.

Settle down there, Skippy. I take no pleasure in this poor woman's condition. Baked said he hopes the guilt is eating her alive. The point of my post was to show that her life is now shitty enough, there's no reason to "hope" anything bad on her.

In other words, kiss my fucking ass and don't call me disgusting you imbecile. At least make some effort to comprehend my post before slinging your insults around.

Had she used proper prisoner handling procedure none of this would have happened. Size or gender had nothing to do with it.
