  1. You have also misunderstood the argument. The idea is that a shooter would think twice before committing an atrocity where the victims could adequately fight back, and not for willy nilly vigilantism.
  2. And they’re not wrong. Usually that guy is a trained peace officer. Like the ones who arrested this crazy. Occasionally is a CHL holder who is cornered and has no choice. And that’s the way CHL holders are taught and should be expected to act.
  3. No. It didn’t. He adequately explained why someone with a CHL didn’t engage the shooter. The OP has a very incorrect perception of the purpose of a CHL. Using a concealed weapon to save the day is always the last resort. And, while it is touted that a good guy with a gun protects against a bad guy with a gun, the reality is that’s only when escape isn’t an option, and thinking people understand this inherently.
  4. Well, shit in one hand and hope for that in the other.... He’s going to be a general nightmare anytime he chooses to communicate.
  5. No Hugo, you’re conflicting issues. One being your batshit crazy notion that there’s a civil war between white supremacists and whoever, and the second being the notion that it didn’t happen to me so I don’t care. The second isn’t true at all, but you’ve called me trash because I’ve correctly posited that it will be business as usual in El Paso, and in short order. Something numerous other posters have noted. Something that is true virtually everywhere else this and other horrific acts have happened once a modicum of time has passed Its not that I don’t give a fuck as you suggest. It’s that I realize you’re crazy as fuck, and are not worth engaging substantively. If you want to approach me with measures to help curb gun violence then, despite my very conservative nature, I’m at a point where I’ll listen. When you tag on that there’s a war against brown people and that the president is the leader of a white supremacy movement? Yeah, you’ve spent too much time in the echo chamber of the cloak room being supported by other batshit crazies.
  6. I suspect El Paso will be exactly the same, and in short order. A year from now there will be a memorial service and moments of silence. 5 years from now there will be a blurb on the news. 10 years from now only victims families will remember. Btw, walk around telling people that we're in some kind of low grade civil war between the forces of white nationalism and some greater, enlightened society ( or insert woke term here) and about 85% of Americans will look at you like there's a horn growing out of your head. As they should. At some point the left might, maybe(hell, who am I kidding?) realize that the way to combat batshit craziness in the WH is not to try and out batshit it by an order of magnitude.
  7. Sounds a lot like truck driving without the passenger lives at stake. Runs on diesel and hauls a lot of people or boxes. Yeah, it’s truck driving in three planes of motion.
  8. Dumb. Flight, fight or freeze. You only take option 2 if option 1 is unavailable.
  9. I would let it breath a bit. It’s likley that he’s a white nationalist nut job, but, with the proliferation of hoaxes going on these days, I’d wait to see if that we’re actually the case.
  10. Ahem, it’s on the boarder across from a crime ridden city. Probably a strong presence there.
  11. Military pilot. I could see automation taking over in the next 20-30 years.
  12. It can be, but that’s not necessarily true. Again, seniority means the ability to pick your schedules.
  13. You have to spend a ton of money learning? Usually. It was relatively cheap when I trained. Maybe $20-25k. Takes many years to start getting paid? It did. The current environment has changed because of mandatory retirement, but you're still gonna take your lumps at several places before landing the dream job. Some will never land it. You gotta have connections to get a job? It's a small world. You have to network and not piss people off. It also helps a fk ton if you were in the military, have female reproductive parts or an excess of melanin. But that's because SJW's have infested HR departments and is true anywhere. Those are three big issues. Time away from home is another. Working a lot of red eyes, weekends and holidays until you get senior, and then working a lot of red eyes, weekends and holidays at the next job and or dream job until you get senior. And generally having a pretty variable schedule that does not necessarily align with the rest of the working world. My wife, for example, also has a very variable schedule and we spend a small fortune each month on childcare. I went one stretch where I wasn't home for Thanksgiving 11 years in a row, and missed 10 out of 11 Christmases. Stuff like that. It's a pretty kick ass gig once you land at the dream job be it a major airline, fractional/corporate or big freight. Until then its pretty much an ass kicking with a nice window office. And I'm not sure someone starting today will necessarily end up doing the same job we're doing now. Or even leave the ground for that matter.
  14. Kyler Murray once sat in Lincoln Riley's office for 3 hours before Riley realized he wasn't just another dildo lying around. True story.
  15. Frankly, given Delta’s large profit sharing checks and direct 401k contribution of 16%, I’d be shocked if a FO with just a few years of time on property wasn’t easily making 200k +. Even the most junior CA’s at places like Spirit or Frontier, airlines with the lowest contractually obligated compensation rates, are making well north of $200k, and their FO’s who’ve made it past first year pay are making $120-150k supposing they work a full schedule. Thats major airline compensation. Not regional.
  16. I think Hurts is being way overvalued as a passer. He’s neither particularly accurate or adroit at reading defenses after the snap. I’m sure LR will use his offensive genius to dial up some great calls and play designs, but at the end of the day the QB has to get the ball to the WR often enough to make those calls pay off. I see a lot of near misses, and not so near misses for that matter, in OU’s future with JH at the helm. Again, I foresee them being a lot like our late 03/ early 04 offense. Talented but young on the line, nice skill pieces all over the field, able to run the ball at times and struggling mightily to pass the ball at times while hoping the QB scramble saves their bacon. They’ll be really hot when their on and pretty meh about 60+% of the time. Think about how different their season looks even if Hurts manages to produce 3/4’s of Murray’s production. 3100 yards passing, 750 yards rushing and 34 TD’s is a helluva season. And they’re likely a 4 loss team last year with those numbers under center. Granted, TTU and WVU are probably cycling down, but BU’s and ISU’s ascension probably continues while the other conference teams outside of UT hold serve.
  17. Their offense will likely look a lot like our late 03 to early 04 offense. Their defense will continue to resemble microwaved dog shit. I figured 9-4 on the season.
  18. That offense will run extremely hot and cold, mostly cold, with Hurts at QB. The vast majority of their scoring will come off of junk ball where broken plays lead to large QB rushes and busted coverages. Jalen Hurts is not a shadow of a fart of Murray as a passer though he is a formidable runner in his own fashion. I fully expect to see him replaced at some point in the season. Perhaps after Texas boat races them in the Cotton bowl. This is not the league you want to have to start a tepid, inaccurate QB who struggles to make quick reads post snap. Riley will earn his paycheck as an OC this year. I don’t care what he did at Alabama. They’re a CFP team even with Case McCoy taking snaps.
  19. I loved how Musberger segwayed into the commercial break with “The Horns dropping the hammer in Dallas” after Ogbannaya’s long run in the fourth led to a TD. If you watch the sideline just prior to the play you’ll see a UT WR, Kirkendall?, ask Major what the play is to which Major replies “C sweep”.
  20. I’m hoping this offense ends that streak in game one.
  21. I’m about tired of coaches with extended cases of PTSD.
  22. Hydration charts bruh Ehlinger wins the Heisman Fuck Oklahoma
