A gang member tried to stab a witness testifying in court in South Lake City, Utah with a pen.
Siale Angilau, 25, was a Tongan Crip Gang member (not sure if they mean he is a Crip of Tongan descent or if there is Tongang wing of the Crips gang; the Crips are an African-American gang, and Tonga is a Polynesian Island in the South Pacific). He was on trial for assault, conspiracy, robbery and weapons offenses.
Angilau rose from his seat, grabbed his lawyer’s pen, and ran toward the witness, falling over the witness stand as the witness jumped back and away from Angilau.

Angilau falls over (you can see his leg and foot in the air) as the witness backed away
Before Angilau could harm the witness, a U.S. marshal fired 4 shots at Angilau, killing him.
Angilau’s family tried to sue, saying that because he was only armed with a pen, being shot constituted an “excessive use of force”, but the case was dismissed.

In an even more ghetto court incident, A man assaulted two women whose family member had been murdered 2 years ago (Carl Koontz, a county deputy, was shot and killed while serving a warrant). Koontz’s mother and sister (54-year-old Jackie and 27-year-old Alice, respectively) were in court for a paternity hearing. They were accompanied by a baby, Amelia Koontz
Bryson Small, 36, attacked the two women, knocking them the ground and hitting them several times. Both women suffered facial and head injuries. Alice Koontz was knocked unconscious and was hospitalized. The baby, who was in a carrier was not injured in the incident.
The news articles don’t say why Bryson Small was in the courthouse, or why he attacked the women.
<< While I may be unable to answer the former question, the latter one is easy: He’s ghetto. Or maybe he is racist (the Koontz’s are white). Or maybe both. Either way, Small sucks (like all ghetto people do). >>
Bryson Small: It takes a small man to attack two women with a baby.

Video of Crips Gangster Shot Dead in Court As He Attacks Witness With Pen
By Tom Porter On 3/13/18 at 10:36 AM
Authorities in Salt Lake city released footage on Monday from a federal courtroom that shows a U.S. marshal shooting dead a defendant as he attempted to attack a witness with a pen.
The footage from 2014 shows Tongan Crip Gang member Siale Angilau, 25, rising from a seat next to his attorney, and grabbing his lawyer’s pen.
He then dashes towards the witness and attempts to vault onto the stand, brandishing the pen.
The witness jumps back as Angilau falls over the front of the witness stand. An oficer out of shot yells "drop the pen. Drop the pen out of your hand."
The female U.S. marshal, named only as Jane Doe, then fires four shots, killing Angilau.
A judge decided to release courtroom footage of the incident after a lawsuit from Angilau’s family was dismissed.
"The video completely contradicts the plaintiffs' argument that Angilau stopped posing a danger within less than one second of launching himself over the witness stand while making a stabbing motion with a pen in his hand," said District Judge John Dowdell.
"Angilau was in custody, but he essentially had escaped custodial control for those seconds during which he was executing his plan to assault the witness," the judge wrote in a ruling obtained by Deseret News.
"His attack was stopped by the shots that Jane Doe rapidly fired, in less than one and one-half seconds."
The family had argued that Angilau was armed only with a pen, and the four shots fired constituted an excessive use of force.
The U.S. marshal who fired the shots was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Angilau was one of 17 Tongan Crip members named in a 2010 indictment accused of assault, conspiracy, robbery and weapons offenses. He was the last of the defendants to stand trial, with other gang members having received prison sentences ranging from 10 to 30 years.

The mother and sister of an Indiana sheriff's deputy who was fatally shot in 2016 were attacked in a courthouse Monday.
Howard County Deputy Carl Koontz died two years ago after he was shot while attempting to serve a warrant in Russiaville.
His sister, Alice, 27, and their mother, 54-year-old Jackie, were in the Howard County Courthouse in Kokomo for a paternity hearing when a man identified as Bryson Small, 36, allegedly assaulted them, Fox 59 reported.
Witnesses reportedly said Small was walking toward the Koontzs when he attacked them. The women were knocked to the floor and hit several times, officials said.
Bystanders helped the women, according to WRTV, and also helped deputies stop Small.
The Koontzs both suffered facial and head injuries, and Alice was knocked unconcious. She was hospitalized to be treated for her injuries.
A baby, Amelia Koontz, was in a carrier but not injured in the incident.
Small reportedly approached the two "to answer questions about the case," but it remains unclear why he attacked the women.
He was booked at the the Howard County Jail on felony assault charges.
