But this was a VITAL asset being installed by two PRIORITY members of the colony near the rear gates. They REQUIRED more than one rookie with an unproven weapon. They needed a squad or two at least, and to notify the QRF on call of the importance and location of the mission.

Plus, it's going to be raining BUCKETS by the same evening, and they have rain catchers in place, which means the pump can be more than safely delayed. It feels so much out of character for CJ.

The way I see it, the two adults she trusts on a tactical decision about the effectiveness of an untested gun are Datu, so... a maintenance guy who barely knows how to shoot, and Glenn... a 65+ old man with a limp. You can trust Michael suggestions on military organization and Glenn's suggestions on how to set up a radio network, but not the other way around.
Also, if you take command you better believe you are responsible for, well, your decisions:
"Let's see: the gun truck is unavailable, this "matagun" here is untested, there's only a rookie available for escort, these two are extremely valuable, is going to be raining so while it rains we have water and when it stops we can go out safely to finish the work on the mill... let's send them now then."
And then she ate her shoe.

Micheal for not bring back the gun truck, CJ for not send enough , and Datu and Glenn for not field test the matagun. I'm starting to hate the CJ hate-train on the forums. How about just going with the idea that all decisions have consequences, good or bad?

Maybe it is all of their (CJ, Glen, Datu, or the Redshirt guy) faults, someone should have said... hey these zombies are pretty bad ass, are you really sure this one gunman is enough?

Yes, I would agree if Michael was around or even answering the com. We been told by the program that Michael is knownly trying not to talking with CJ. What good is a military if you can't talk to them? So she has to go with gut on these type of issues like everyone else who doesn't have an military option. Also Glenn and Datu never said that wasn't completely field and only said that it was test and worked Behemoth skin. They choose to omit that part.

First, remember that the United States has multiple, tiered justice and penal systems. These are, in order, municipal and/or county, state and federal. Each level has its own law enforcement agencies, courts and prisons, and each is responsible for dealing with crimes committed within its territory.

1. Bill Roberts was being tried for murder in a local court for a crime committed within that jurisdiction, specifically the County of Los Angeles California.

2. He would have been held in a Los Angeles City or County jail or detention facility while he was undergoing trial. If convicted he would have been imprisoned in either an LA County or California State prison, or a state mental facility for the criminally insane.

3. Eastern Bay was identified as a Federal prison. Prisoners in Eastern Bay were convicted in federal courts and could have come from anywhere in the United States. Bill Roberts would not have been sent there, since he was not being tried by a federal court.

This is good to know. I never knew this stuff.

Sorry, but I have to ask: you have a reeeeally bad spellchecker on your phone, right? :P
I'm not sure I got it all correctly but Michael IS answering the radio. He talks with the Colony plenty of times in the last episodes, even though he doesn't answer Pegs calls. He immediately answers when Victor briefly calls for help when number 7 attacks him and Tanya. He is, I agree, keeping one of the trucks to investigate the whereabouts the most dangerous of all zombies so far. The other is somewhere else. It's not like CJ was pushed at gunpoint, she chose to send them, and I'm surprised no one else was, like me, screaming in frustration while listening all the thunders in the distance and knowing that fact that they could easily waited at least until the storm went away.
