    That's Spinks, isn't it?  Seems like a half ass DA should be able to get a conviction for that punch.

    Jose Ribalta. 2nd round and he popped right back up and got annihilated for another 8 rounds before they called it.

    Anthony Joshua would not have existed in Tyson's world.

    I only said that one punch by Wilder was as devastating as any punch I have ever seen. One punch, one recipient, that's all.

  3. I'm a casual fan but they are one of those bands that I always really enjoy hearing. I wasn't aware of them until The Real Thing came out when I was in 8th grade. The first half of that album is superb. They were shot out of a cannon.

    Midlife Crisis is a fantastic song. I also really like Last Cup of Sorrow.

    And their cover of Easy is one of my favorite covers of all time. Someone on here recently posted a live cover they did of the Nestle white chocolate commercial song and that was hilarious. They seem like a genuinely funny group of dudes.

    Counterpoint: nincompoops should stay in the woods. 

    Indeed. 

    At 56:00 while describing the loss of her shoes in a flash flood, she says that "shoes are more of an impediment in the water and that she probably would have gotten rid of her shoes anyway... Living on Maui we should all have tough feet from walking around barefoot." This is immediately after stating that without shoes she was effectively stranded near a waterfall as there was no way she was returning to the woods due to potential barefoot injuries.

    My head hurts.

  5. If you want to hear an hour of babbling nonsense. She laid down on a log, she got up and started back to her car but mistakenly followed some boar paths off the main trail. Then her "strong sense of internal guidance" led her 5 miles deeper into the woods and started her on this "journey."

    Cliff notes: Nincompoops should stay out of the woods.

    Shenanigans begin @ 16:15 -

    Saw this beauty in Cabo a few weeks back. This is the smaller of two yachts that owner has.

    We were in Cabo for New Years and this rig was parked at the Hotel El Ganzo. 

    Dennis Washington. I believe this one is for his sons. He has the larger Attessa IV.

    I'm guessing she plays tight end?

    I have no idea. Didn't even know she was playing. Met her for the first time at a family reunion 3 years ago. Her mom is about 4" shorter and brunette.

    Alyssa Stongle. I'm searching for mom pics now.

    Monday morning quarterbacking is not worth a fuck if somebody’s already dead or hurt

     

     You have not a clue if the guy would’ve been OK or not. 

     

     Given the current social environment, the last thing I wanna do is let the cops come and do a welfare check on my house, and that’s in addition to hoping the mob outside is civil. They should be expected to be reasonable, correct? 

    Ok, you run outside and confront the mob who you believe to be armed and firing at your house. Alone. Maybe you’ll kill a few of them. Maybe they will kill you. Since you brought up the police - maybe in the confusion you will not have noticed that they are already on the scene outside. I’m sure they will quickly realize that you’re the homeowner acting in the defense of your property and they will hold their fire. 

    I’ll stay in my defensible position inside the locked house and make sure no one gains entry without being aerated.

    Not waiting for them to enter my home.  They need to GTFO my property and disperse.

     

    Fuck this mentality of one way respect. Not saying shooting someone would have been my first reaction, but if I felt threatened, I would let them know what’s about to happen.

     

    I respect the fact that my wife and kids need me around. And confronting multiple people with a weapon, alone, over the damage of some property, is not in the best interest of my family.

    The guy's kid was safe inside the house. Call the cops and let the morons shoot paintballs at your vinyl siding. If they test the front door, escalate.

    Why is it the Dad’s responsibility to guess the mob’s intent? 15 teens and adults came to his house in the middle of the night to fight his son and shoot it up with paintballs. His greater moral responsibility is to his family’s safety not the mob outside. 

     

    I have firearms in my safe that I can access within seconds. I also realize the stupidity of running into the yard, guns blazing, to confront a "mob" of people.

    Do you think this would have turned out well for the homeowner if the teens had real firearms?

    Call the cops, stay inside your locked house with your family, and rain fire on any moron that actually tries to enter your home.

    Story changes after homeowner shoots person outside his home, police say

    HOUSTON - One person is dead after police say a homeowner in east Houston opened fire on someone he believed was a threat.

    Initially, police had reported that four people had been trying to break into a homeowner’s vehicle in the 13300 block of Force Street, so the homeowner opened fire, killing one of them. 

    After further investigation, police said the group of teens did not appear to be trying to break into the vehicle. 

    Police said the residents of the home heard shots outside and thought their home was being shot at, so the father came outside to investigate. 

    He saw one of the teens in front of his home and felt threatened, so the father opened fire on him, police said. The father also fired at an SUV the teens used as transportation, police said.

    Shortly after the shooting, police said that same SUV showed up at a nearby hospital and a 19-year-old inside was pronounced dead.

    “It’s scary. It’s horrible. We have never had anything like this happen before on our block,” said mother, Mayra Jaquez who lives three doors down from where the gunfire erupted.

    One neighbor who has lived in the neighborhood for over 60 years said he is stunned by the incident.

    “I heard five pops,” said Jim Corbett, 82. "(It's never been) right in front of my house like this before."

    One of the bullets struck the front of his home. Corbett says he may buy a pistol to protect himself in the future. 

    Officers said they found paintball shells and paintball splatter on the house. Police said they also found shell casings but do not know if they came from the homeowner or someone else.

    Police said they are trying to determine if the teens were firing a paintball gun, a normal gun or both.

    Authorities said at least one of the teens in the group went to the house to fight a 17-year-old who lives inside the home.

    Another neighbor who did not want to be identified said the homeowner was within his rights.

    “He was defending his property, you know don’t bring a paintball gun not knowing what the homeowner has there at their home,” the neighbor said.

    Police have detained the father and son, along with three others believed to be about 17 years old.

    The victim's identity has not yet been released.
