  1. Police believe he may have been targeting women in the attack for the most part.

     

    Cauchi’s family released a statement saying he “has battled with mental health issues” since he was a teenager.

    “Joel’s actions were truly horrific, and we are still trying to comprehend what has happened,” the family said.

    “We are in contact with both the New South Wales Police Force and Queensland Police Service and have no issues with the Police Officer who shot our son as she was only doing her job to protect others, and we hope she is coping alright,” the statement said.

    Andrew Cauchi, the father of Joel Cauchi, told CNN affiliate 9 News that he was “heartbroken” for the families of the victims.

    “I’m extremely sorry. I’m heartbroken for you. Look, this is so horrendous, that I can’t even explain it,” he said. “To you he’s a monster. To me, he was a very sick boy. He was a very sick boy.”

    what meds was this guy not taking?

    I read a couple of articles that he was known to police and had a mental Health history and issues. I assume he’d been diagnosed and likely prescribed meds and so on. Just went off them. It’s not a massive leap of logic. This shit happened more times than we can count of late. Off meds and does something violent is happening with increasing regularity. 

  3. Scottie is a bad ass! 
     

    What an amazing tribute to Vern. 
     

    Scottie Ice. Sincerely. He’s just like IceMan. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

     

    Aberg is going to be a force. Marikawa already is. Glad to see Homa having a good Masters. Same for Fleetwood. BDC falling apart was expected. I wish Scottie could finish with an Eagle so he too can get that crystal trinket for an Eagle.

  4. If the best a person can do off their medication is murder innocent people: I am sorry but they need to be forced to take their medication or be institutionalized. There is no dignity letting a person not take their medication.  None. Now people are dead bc we think it’s “mean” to force someone to take their meds. It’s not. The only difference is he didn’t have a gun he had a knife. He could have killed the same amount of people or more with a gun but if he’d had a GUN people would just be focused on that. Which is fine. Gun violence enrages me. But I’m tired of people missing the very large elephant in the room. Fucked up people being allowed to wing it. And that’s a recipe for disaster.

    This is a pretty good write up. No known motive, but they’re blaming it on unspecified mental illness.

    Kinda common place these days with this particular age group. Just paying attention. This age group

    of people have likely been given the most therapy of any generation before them.
     

    They are the most “maligned” among us. Yet they are so fucking unhappy. I have a sad answer for them. It never gets any better. Sack the fuck up.
     

    If the best they can do off their  meds is grab a knife and go stab a bunch of people—they need to be force fed meds for the rest of their lives.

     

    Against their will. If that is all they can do then you have two choices: institutionalized or dead. Imost people can’t control themselves any better than that. People just don’t want to hear the truth which is: they can control themselves to a degree they’d rather not want to.

    Outside of Scottie’s eagle, it’s a blood bath out there.

    It does not look fun. The wind should be much better today they said this morning. But honestly, this is brutal. I do like a little disaster golf but this is ridiculous. Puts going all over.

  7. Since this will be our last Masters on planet earth. Who do we want to come in second if Scottie winds up with the win? I pick Homa. But most of the dudes up in the top seem like good dudes

    Iron Dome is better than anything we have, so I doubt many drones get through, but… some will. 
     

    Israel can hit any target they want in Iran so their response will be interesting. 

    🙏🏼 my heart just aches. There will be a response. And quite frankly if Israel took out the theocracy of Iran with a couple of blasts I’d not give two fucks. Mind you I’m not talking about civilians. I’m talking about where their “government” is and leaders are.
     

    sad shit of affairs that’s happened to their country since the Shah fell. Jmo. Sorry for posting in the thread after my singular post months ago but this is just upsetting and scary shit.

    Woman accused of posing as Uber driver in downtown Austin, drugging and robbing men

    https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/woman-accused-of-posing-as-uber-driver-in-downtown-austin-drugging-and-robbing-men#

    A woman accused of posing as an Uber driver and robbing men in downtown Austin used stolen credit cards to make over $33,000 worth of fraudulent purchases, according to court documents.

    An arrest affidavit said 41-year-old Destini Cionne Robinson is a suspect in at least two incidents that took place in Austin’s entertainment district.

    I mean yes and no. It is definitely a game show. That’s why most of the elimination challenges have time limits and gimmicks. But also Top Chef has bolstered careers and given legitimacy to otherwise little known (or locally renowned) chefs. I think restaurants and the public give contestants and winners higher esteem for having cooked on the show

    I love the show. Agree with this. 

  11. Here is the article about the incident in Brenham:

    https://www.fox26houston.com/news/brenham-dps-office-crash-multiple-injuries-reported
     

    I am particularly drawn to his prior record below. We keep denying the simple fact that there are people that don’t need to be free. Some people will never “get it” and this guy is one of those fucking people. 
     

    Parker is facing multiple felony charges at this time and according to court records, he has previous criminal charges going back to 1999 including criminal trespass, arson, and prohibited weapons.

    On what planet (outside of California) does this guy get a CDL? Now a person who worked at the DPS is dead. At least he won’t be out of jail for a long time now. But maybe if he gets out he can kill someone else?

    That'll be a capital-murder rap, and he'll get a cell in Huntsville waiting his turn.

    man shows DPS why he was denied a CDL by stealing a semi and intentionally crashing into a DPS office. I mean. It’s like workplace shooters who were fired. Let’s show everyone why the fuck you were fired in the first place assholes.

  13. Got a little dusty watching Tiger make the cut just now. Cool. Thats a moment no matter where he is on his road to reclaiming where he was. It’s cool to see. Good for him.

    It would be interesting to see the course in the fall, or even a few weeks before the Masters; because the aim at getting into prime shape for this week. Pretty sure the azaleas are kept in greenhouses, conditioned to bloom this week and transplanted to the course for the players/guests/TV audience enjoyment. No telling what else is done to make for prime time viewing. 

    Not that I would ever get an invite during one of those times; hell I can't get an invite to be part of the general public. Now that I think about it, they treat me like I am Greg Norman & what did I ever do to them?

    Tell them your last name. Fairway. I mean…it should score an automatic invite. Tell them you’re a prestigious reporter for Surly News and you need to be on the green.

    his issues are much deeper

    Something ain’t right. And it’s a shame bc he can make amazing shots that I’ve not seen many make. But his ground game is 💩 and he’s not consistent. I hate being critical of Jordan bc I’m a huge fan but Scottie is playing otherworldly right now. I hope it continues. We need someone like a Tiger that scares everyone on the course. And just happens to be a good dude and a 🤘🏼🤘🏼
