  1. Cody Allen, 35, an Independence police officer, husband and father of two small children, was shot and killed Thursday. Independence Police Chief Adam Dustman praised Allen’s “heroic actions” after a civil process server called for help during an eviction. A Jackson County civil process server, identified as Drexel Mack, was also shot and killed. https://amp.kansascity.com/news/local/article286104501.html Killed trying to save a civil processor who was also killed. Suspect got evicted alright. To fucking jail where his dumb ass belongs.
  2. Also many of you remember this horrible shooting from last April: FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) — A man who fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove into his rural driveway in upstate New York was sentenced Friday to more than 25 years to life in prison. Kevin Monahan, 66, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death last April of Kaylin Gillis. She was riding in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that was trying to leave after pulling into Monahan’s long, winding driveway while looking for a party at another person’s house in the town of Hebron. “I think it’s important that people know that it is not OK to shoot people and kill them who drive down your driveway,” Judge Adam Michelini said. Apart from the wider deterrent effect, Michelini said it’s important that Monahan remain behind bars rather than be free to harm more people.
  3. This was a huge story in Connecticut (and also a fairly large national story): A jury Friday found a Connecticut woman guilty of conspiring with her boyfriend to kill his estranged wife, a mother of five who disappeared in 2019. Michelle Troconis, 49, was also found guilty on five other counts of tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution connected to Fotis Dulos’ presumed killing of Jennifer Dulos, who was last seen dropping off their five children at school on the morning of March 24, 2019. The Duloses had been in the middle of a contentious two-year divorce battle and custody dispute, which placed strict restrictions on when and how Fotis Dulos could see the couple’s children. ——- The highlight of my day was watching that haggard bish drop her head on the table and weep as the charges were read. Guilty on all 6 counts! And then being led away in handcuffs.
  4. How many triangles????? I have the correct answer so all wrong answers will be strenuously mocked!
  5. Looks like we do have an arsonist…hmmm “A prominent Austin businessman and founder of Continental Automotive Group, or CAG, was arrested Thursday on charges of Felony Arson and a State Jail Felony offense of Burglary. Dorsey Bryan Hardeman, 75, is accused of starting a fire at a downtown Austin building on Sunday, according to an arrest affidavit.” https://www.kxan.com/investigations/prominent-local-businessman-arrested-in-austin-accused-of-arson/ Not sure I totally get the motive but whatever what a dildo.
  6. This just makes my heart ache…
  7. 2 officer shot in Independence, Missouri. Warrant situations from the cops I have met are one of the most dangerous times. That and DV situations. You never know when the abused person might come at you like a spider monkey. Way to make a bad situation worse for yourself. You have a warrant let’s make it ten times worse. People are fucking stupid. Hope the officers will be ok. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/2-officers-shot-wounded-independence-missouri-police-107691961
  8. I bet there will be some amazing photos out of all this heartbreaking destruction.
  9. Thats wonderful! It helps to have a local presence for people who want to donate but don’t live in the Panhandle. That’s great!
  10. Yes! Pray! The thing is I’m stunned we haven’t had a worse one in all my years of life prior to the 2006 fire. I do wonder how the smokehouse creek one started. Was it human error? The thing is when you grow up in the Panhandle it’s dry and windy and you learn very early on to BE CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL about anything that could potentially start a fire. This part of the state in particular lives and dies by the rain. And some of the years growing up it was incredibly dry. Praying for the snow and rain to help the firefighters do their best. They’ve got more planes coming in Friday and other aid so this little bit of Mother Nature is huge with the snow.
  11. Man I miss Braums! I love their little grocery store and ice cream and especially milk. People that don’t have a Braums are missing out! Here is a phone number to pass around to those trying to relocate livestock.
  12. Snow snow snow ❄️ ⛄️
  13. Never been so happy to see snow in my life! Let it snow! ❄️
  14. This is fabulous news because every little bit helps. Praying for some rain in the next week. It’s just so depressing. On my family’s ranch we don’t use any pesticides or anything so we have a lot of the red ants and horned toads (which are rapidly disappearing from our landscape.) so I am hopeful this snow helps at least contain the Fritch one. The Smokehouse Creek one is just another matter. Damn.
  15. It appears it’s not going to hit everywhere we need but this is positive:
  16. I follow true crime and wanted to create a thread that is for crimes in the news rather than have an individual thread for recent cases.
  17. sad case out of Florida with depressing similarities to the Audrii Cunningham case in the Houston area. A sexual predator, non-relative in close proximity to a young girl who was allowed to drop her off at schools Smdh! “Stephan Sterns, 37, had dropped off now missing 13 year old Madeline Soto in the area of Hunters Creek Middle School, which is where she goes to school. — The boyfriend of a missing Florida teen’s mother was arrested Wednesday night on charges of sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. 13-year-old Madeline Soto was reported missing after she didn’t show up to school on Monday, according to officials. https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/last-person-to-see-missing-florida-teen-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-deputies-say/amp/
  18. Looks like this one might be a hoax. If it is, this type of shit pisses me off. We don’t need a staged crime to be reminded that women get raped daily. We don’t need a hoax like Jussie Smollett reminding us there is racism. We don’t need this type of shit. Fake kidnappings and other crap people stage. Stop it. Also, give them the sentence a perp would have gotten for actually committing the crime. You’ve got people looking for a suspect and there isn’t one. Make them do the time for the crime alleged! That might be a deterrent. A lot of these cases are messed up girls with relationship issues wanting attention. Stop it damnit!!! The dude doesn’t want to be with you! i invite them instead to come and check out the Chilean sea bass I have trained in Lady Bird Lake. ghttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/27/bellevue-college-closure/72762708007/ In an update at 12 p.m., police said detectives are still working with the reporting woman to "reconcile inconsistencies between the information she is reporting and the evidence found at the scene." Bellevue Police did rule out any ongoing threat to the school or local community at this time.
  19. The biggest news of the day might be from the Texas A&M Forest Service. Three Single Engine Airtankers (SEAT) started attacking the wildfires from the air. Two more SEATS and a helicopter will arrive at the Moore County Airport in Dumas on Friday. The National Park Service is also getting federal resources to fight the fires from the ground and air. https://abc7amarillo.com/news/local/wildfire-outbreak-day-3-smokehouse-creek-firew-now-2nd-largest-in-state-history-texas-am-forest-service-firefighters-canadian-hemphill-county-windy-deuce-hutchinson-county-fritch-borger-grape-vine-creek-cray-county-lefors-pampa# This is a good place to donate if you can. They had to do a lot for the Amarillo fire in 2006 which was massive: https://amarilloareafoundation.org/disaster/ This is a HUGE list of places to donate: https://www.newschannel10.com/2024/02/28/ways-donate-wildfire-victims-across-tx-panhandle/ it’s set up by area and items of need.
  20. This is fucking nightmare fuel:
  21. This as well. The terrain is so different from what people imagine. It’s a mix of things. Canyons and ridges and hills and cactus and prairie grass and mesquite. It’s just different. And yes, it makes a challenge for firefighters. The wind is just lighting fuse after fuse. We have to have the rain/snow that they said was possible. It likely won’t hit many of the areas needed but it will absolutely help.
  22. Most of the people in the US don’t even know what the Panhandle is. Shit, people in Texas don’t even know what the Panhandle is. Most people don’t know the Panhandle has the nation’s second largest canyon in Palo Duro canyon. Humble brag picture of my family’s ranch below—view from the front porch. And I understand controlled burns but it’s windy there. Windy all the fucking time. Like we are used to 20-35 mph winds and many times double that. The wind is a huge factor. We have mostly mesquite trees and prairie grass and fucking tumbleweeds. One of my good friends is helping to organize places for people to bring their livestock and other animals. The thing is this could shift any time with the fucking winds. And be like a raging inferno. If I have something to post on how people can assist I will do that (vetting what I post already.) the Palo Duro Canyon is beautiful and a treasure. I shudder to think if the fire goes in the canyon. It’s scary. It’s mainly short grass and brush/bushes. It’s not a ton of overgrown shit.
