  9. Thanks so much for sharing this and showing up. I'm happy for any American showing up yesterday wherever, but it's a little bit easier for people in libbed up cities like Austin, SF, Chicago, Seattle, Portland etc to hit the streets in protest than it is for people in little towns in deep red parts of Texas where you really stand out to your townfolk. That takes a lot of give-a-shit-ness and these people deserve every high five possible. Honestly hits me right in the feels.
  10. My wife's sign for our son won the day in Round Rock Everyone wanted his picture. Great turnout, enthusstic crowd for suburban Wilco! Thanks to any surly neighbors who may have showed up to this, it gave me and my family a much-needed sense of community and togetherness we haven't felt in a long time. I was only able to attend for an hour before heading off to work but it put a huge smile on my face for the entire day and I've been thinking about it late into the night. Living in a red district with lifted trucks everywhere and all the maga cultural touchstones shoved in my face constantly has made me stereotype all the people I see at the local HEB or Walmart or parks in our neighborhood to the point where everyone who isn't wearing their leftism on their sleeves is just another fuckin MAGA goon to me, or at least a bothsidser idiot who can't be bothered to pay attention to the arsonists burning it all down around us. I've become miserably judgmental about the strangers who are my neighbors because I see so many assholes in maga 2A copaganda anti-woke shirts, hats, and bumperstickers that I have gradually assumed that everyone around us supports these GOP ghouls. Seeing all the faces in the crowd from all walks of life and all ages at today's Round Rock protest was a great reminder to me that there are so many average joes and janes in my area who may not look like Portland Antifa, but they are allies in the fight against American fascism. This is what reminds you why your country is worth fighting for.
  11. That was Travis County DA Jose Garza, villain of local magats (cough cough Angie Ayers) and puppet of global cabal leader George Soros. I watched the entire press conference and was taken aback by the contrast of the words of Barbara Wilson and Sonora Thomas vs the words of Shawn and Angie Ayers. Especially Angie Ayers, who was not a blood relative to any of the victims and simply married into the family tragedy and made it a life mission to get justice for the Ayers family. Where both Wilson and Sonora Thomas exuded grace and humility and thankfulness, Angie Ayers came off as a look-at-me narcissist with venom to spit for whoever it was that leaked the break in the case to the media on Friday. Shawn and Angie were pissed off about that and she in particular used that as cudgel to berate the audience in the chambers and viewers watching online. Then she proceeded to go on waaaay too long about her role in the investigation over the years and how she had been there fighting it longer than any investigators, prosecutors, etc. Really unhinged stuff imo. She showed her true colors when she turned her attention to the broken justice system and, rather than acknowledge the FOUR OTHER VICTIMS whose lives were irreparably broken by actions of a serial killer and APD detectives, she says this insane remark. Shameful behavior considering how she had the family convinced the innocent men were guilty.
  12. Incredible detective work by Dan Jackson. Crazy details, even noting the guy was stopped at a border checkpoint between Texas and New Mexico shortly after the night of the crime.
  13. I wish retired APD Det. Paul Johnson would be there to face the cameras and answer questions about his idiotic "creek people" bullshit theories and be asked if he has anything to say to Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Forrest Wellborn, and the family of Maurice Pierce.
  14. KXAN will cover it live here at 10 am https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/yogurt-shop-murders-more-details-expected-monday/
  15. that has always bothered me and it underscores how stupid many men can be wrt how they expect women to respond in a life-or-death situation where a lack of compliance can get them killed. it's absurd to think that one person could not have possibly done this when it's an adult experienced criminal with a loaded gun and four terrified girls.
  16. they have. how else would his DNA end up in the vagina of a dead girl murdered and sexually assaulted? the guy was a drifter type and probably was passing through Austin or took a short term construction job here.
  17. More details here about how investigators uncovered links to unsovled crimes back in 2018 https://notes.mshp.dps.mo.gov/si01/si01p001.nsf/035631d21d12b3ca8625729800536894/719609083dcd88e18625831d0050ad6f?OpenDocument
  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Eugene_Brashers This is 100% the killer.
  19. The DNA is very solid. It was an intact sample collected from inside the vaginal cavity of the youngest girl. This. is. the. guy.
  20. The DNA evidence is apparently slam dunk definitive. This guy's past crimes and the manner in which he committed them alone are consistent with the details of the Yogurt Shop murders. I've followed this case closely since it happened and remember very well the publicity around the unsolved nature of the crime in the early/mid-90s, just like I remember the day the news broke that they had arrested four suspects in connection with the crime back in 1998 or whatever year it was. That was HUGE news but when the details started to eventually come out about the suspects, much of it from the dogged reporting in the Austin Chronicle and AAS, I was always skeptical at best about the dipshit teens cast as murderers. Especially after what happened with the Nancy DePriest murder case and the eventual exoneration of Richard Danziger and Christopher Ochoa. If the same crooked detective was involved in the initial interrogation, I knew that the cops could not be trusted that they had the right guys. They may have brought in new detectives but those mfers were using the same tactics as Ochoa. It was clear to me back then and there are a lot of law enforcement officials with rotten eggs on their faces this morning. I'd like the local reporters to stick a camera in Paul Johnson's face so we can hear him embarrass himself one more time with protestations that he had the right guys all along. TLDR version: I'm first in line when it comes to distrusting anything that comes out of APD's offices, but the changing of the guard means the current eyes on the case aren't solely fixed on Springsteen as Scott as the killers who got off. The DNA doesn't lie and if it's a rock solid match as being reported, this is the guy. I can't believe this case is finally coming to a close. It's one of those lines of demarcation between the old Austin and the Austin of today. It was such a huge story that went on for sooo long and then all these hip hot young'ns moving here, the asshole billionaires and techbros, social media influencers, life marching on, and before we knew it those girls were mostly unknown to the New Austin but never forgotten by the old one.
  21. Yordan has never hit 40 HRS in a season. Judge just hit 50 for the third time. Cal Raleigh just hit #60. I'd be ok trading Yordan. Mfer can't cross home plate without getting hurt.
  22. nm fuck this fucking season
  23. Why were we not doing that more often this year with every baserunner stealing at will on us? And why did we never pitch out?
