  1. I noticed you left out the guy carrying the AK-47.  Maybe if he didn't approach the car with his AK-47 nothing else would have happened.
    I also left out the part where open carry is legal or that numerous witnesses said the dead guy never pointed his AK at him. You know, those same witnesses who said he never fired his weapon while many of the surly ballistics experts showed up to insist otherwise.

  2. Was Perry the one walking down the middle of Congress Avenue who was carrying an AK 47 and pounding on car or was he the guy who got shot and died?
    Did the shooter run a red light and drive INTO a crowd of protesters he could see ahead of him, most of them carrying political signs that he openly disagreed with? Did Perry screech his tires and honk one loud long Texas fuck outta my way honk at them? Gee it's just crazy how some of those pesky rioters got upset at him and banged on his car. Any reasonably patient act on his part and nobody ever hears about this because nothing else would have happened.

  3. Looks like he would have had to drive 60+ miles for this.  What an evil fucker.
    He was driving for Uber/Lyft and working in Austin that night. I don't believe it was that calculated but I do believe he sought out a confrontation when he saw those protesters on Congress.

  4. When I first saw the dashcam video of him running that red light and the other videos with the sound of his tires screeching and horn blaring, I was confident it would be this.

    That was not representative of a naive driver in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's a piece of shit who wanted to act out a violent fantasy against his political enemies.

  5. I'm not saying it's a coincidence.  I'd just like to see it confirmed by someone other than social justice warrior social media mob member.  
    If you read my post from last night you'd know that if it's confirmed to be him then he deserves everything that comes his way.


    The profile pic matches. The location matches. It's the same person. If it was some other Daniel Perry who tweeted that now is the time for taking up guns, I think his lawyers would have included that in their press release.

    Until it's proven that is his Twitter account nor do the ones on the opposite side who are ready to convict the guy in the court of public opinion.  I'd rather let the facts play out.

    Of course it's the same person.

    Here's his tweet history.....

    So it's just a big coincidence that the Daniel Perry from Fort Hood, Tx who goes by the Twitter handle @knivesfromtrigu just recently deleted his Twitter?

    Its just too much of a stretch to say he had intent and or a plan to do what he did after picking up passengers(strangers) from a hot spot.  I don't buy it.  

    Not a stretch at all if the assumption is he intentionally put himself in the midst of that protest, which is a very reasonable conclusion given the available video evidence that night.

    He created the situation, he escalated the situation, and he finished the situation. And we're just supposed to take him at his word when he has every motivation to lie? He deserves very little benefit of the doubt.

    Exactly right. MLB teams have been caught doing this 20+ times over the last 120 years, & the league's done nothing about it. It's not an Astros problem. It's leaguewide, & always has been.

     

    To take it even further, really how much of a "problem" is it? I don't think it's anywhere close to PEDs and the solution is really simple...change your signs. And even if a hitter *thinks* he knows what's coming, how certain is he? There's still the matter of execution by the hitter, pitcher, and fielders behind him. Sign stealing is and will always be a part of baseball culture, just like spitting sunflower seeds, crotch grabbing, eye black, and bat flips. 

    I believe that the spark that lit everything for MLB had less to do with the problematic nature of electronic surveillance than the personal beefs of an ex-Astro pitcher and an ex-Chronicle reporter on the Astros beat who were given cover by the actions of the organization in the wake of the Brandon Taubman incident. Had the Astros won game 7, this story never comes to light because there wouldn't have been oxygen to feed it.

  9. The Red Sox won it in 2018 and are cheaters as well but MLB gave them a pass just like what's happening with the Yankees.

    The main reason for the disproportionate outrage from other fanbases is a ginned up media theme laid an open secret of sign stealing throughout basebal at the feet of one franchise. That franchise was an easy mark for those media outlets and Rob Manfred because it wasn't one of the marquee organizations and could provide cover for the larger problem.

    Biggest organization wide cheating scandal in the history of team sports lol. And that’s what makes it feel so different in the eyes of most fans. Steroids taken by individuals isn’t the same as a system of cheating that’s been instructed from as high up as the president of the team. 

    This is just bullshit. Doug Glanville explains it better than I so read this...

  11. So fucking stupid.
    Bunt the guy over and the infield has to play in meaning a hard hit ground ball through or a sacrifice  fly wins the game.
    I would bunt every time no matter who was at the plate or on deck.
    I agree

  12. The problem is pretty much no one is going to bunt in today's game.   
    It has only been done once so far in the extra inning games ( total of either 5 or 6 of them so far) by KC as the visitors to lead off the 10th and it worked because the next guy hit a sac fly.  They managed to hold on 3-2 and win.  In every other game/scenario no team has bunted.   
    This.

    Also I'm sure that the front office analytics peeps are adamant about not giving up any free outs. I don't think it's on Dusty Baker as much as it's on the organizational edicts.
