    It didn't look like he got hit that hard...probably fainted out of fear. 

    His sunglasses flew into another zip code, he got whacked pretty good. Gator jaws are fucking solid, not something you want to get hit with.

    live oak county is about as crooked at they come in south texas

     

     

    I still prefer that route instead of the corpus one to get to the valley from SA. Only go 77 if I’m actually going straight to harlingen. So much traffic in George West & three rivers the past few years, totally wipes out the “small town appeal”. Not sure why anyone with a choice would live there. 
     

    But yeah, I make it a point to not speed until I’m well clear of both those towns. Not really people you’d ever want to deal with.

  3. 6 dead, husband & wife and their 4 kids. Father was in military, the family had just moved to SA in January. Officers found weird note on front door. Treating it as a murder/suicide. Lots of psychos out there, shame he (or both of them) were such big pieces of shit that they didn’t spare the kids.

    This is gonna sound bad because it means the lives of 4 human beings (ironically including a black officer who was in on the intial arrest of Floyd) will be trashed, but at this point i hope the charges against the officers stick..for the safety and sanity of this country.

    I've seen a criminal trial lawyer on another forum give detailed reasons (with citations anyone can look up for themselves) why he believes they all walk with basically a slap on the wrist. We all know what that means if true..

    Good, fuck those killers. It’s why the 3rd degree murder charge was genius, it places less importance on the officers intent and more on his reckless actions. Much higher probability of conviction that way.

  5. How positive are we that Eagles won’t play? I read his statement a few times, it comes across as more of a “im not going to play with the same world outlook I had before” instead of a “im not going to play at all”.

    People keep having a nonsense argument over the freedom of speech/protest based on their level of reverence for the flag. In the end, he and other kneelers were never under risk of criminal prosecution so their first amendment rights were well maintained. They do choose to work in an entertainment industry, and holding a protest that offends a large portion of your employer’s customers is never going to fly. Protesters can say it has nothing to do with the flag or veterans (except I think the quote above showed Caepernick did think it was about the flag), but that doesn’t offend most NFL fans any less. It’s the equivalent of saying “No offense, but...” and unloading on someone. The kneeling or other protest could have been done in a way to get attention but not disrespect anyone (everyone kneeling during coin flip, before the opening kickoff, before returning to the locker room at halftime, whatever).

    Incredibly poor timing by Brees though. 

    No one would ever notice or care if they kneeled at your suggested times. Kap kneeled during the anthem and it became one of the year’s top news stories. A protest that doesn’t offend anyone or disrupt anything by definition isn’t a protest at all. 
     

    I never really gave a shit either way. I didn’t really like Kap’s protest because it was so vague in its end goal, but I also thought everyone up in arms about it was being an easily offended snowflake. The flag is a symbol, it means different things to different people. Also to me the act of kneeling is usually a gesture of respect, there’s a lot more disrespectful things that they could’ve done.

    He grew up in Westlake

    Ehlinger seems to get it. Can't imagine Westlake changed much if at all in the years between their attendance.

    Who are they reaching, though? The like-minded people already agree with them? Just more virtue signaling.

    I would always roll my eyes at any kind of sweeping social media activist campaign. But now we’re reaching a point in society that social media movements really do influence the real world. I mean the whole #MeToo thing started as a hashtag in one person’s tweet, and look what it led to.

  9. Just thinking how crazy it all is. Just in terms of notoriety, last week George Floyd was about as average of a person as you can be. Now he’ll forever be a significant figure in American and possibly world history. Pretty wild.

    I’m serious when I say this, help me understand... I don’t read anything flippant in what he’s saying, where are you coming from when feeling that? 

    I'm not black but I know exactly what Pancho is talking about. The classic "I won't tell you what I really think because you can't handle it/are too dumb to understand because you're a minority, so here's a placative statement". Notice how spanky didn't just say "It's maddening for everyone that you feel unequal" he had to put the condescending qualifier in front of it. I hear that underhanded shit all the time.

    Yea. I was wondering what he envisioned before he left the house. His ability with the bow suggested that maybe he just bought it a few minutes before.

    Did he imagine himself as heroically defeating the heathen horde? Was he Green Arrow in muscle-bulging lycra loosing his shafts of justice to save the dear old USA? He surely seems to have that crazy American notion that you're the only brave person among cowards. It's so strange.

    When the mob he sought to rout closed above him, what did he think then? I'm truly curious to see what the full ride was for this doomed, malign idiot.

    So apparently all the mob did was take his bow away. He left the scene & SLC police say they know who he is & are considering charges against him. 

    I think if he got mobbed anywhere but Utah he might be dead or severely injured.

  12. Cops kicked off my hatred derby with the years of rights-stomping and killing with impunity. Rioters came on strong with their vandalism & chaos to take the lead. Cops storming back now on the final lap with the hyper-authoritarian responses. Neck and neck right now, who will win?

    Mob in downtown Dallas has evidently beaten someone to death.
    Because he was white.
    Just saw the video in Twitter.

    Well now that second vid I just saw shows him chasing someone with a sword through the street before the mob jumps him, so I’m not sure what was going on. Maybe he was still defending his store or something but I’m not sure it was a smart move on his part. Doesn’t look like it was “because he was white” but it probably didn’t help his case either.

    He’s still alive. Appears he was a businessowner or something, trying to drive people away with his sword/machete. Didn’t work. It was a quick attack involving 6-10 people, hopefully the vid quality is good enough to get them all identified & arrested.

    It’s times like these I’m glad I live in SA. We don’t have shit worth burning down. 

    One of the most riot-proof cities in the country IMO. Mexicans haven’t rioted for shit since the Zoot suit riots in the 40s, and we weren’t even really the aggressors in that case.

  16. CSB contribution: Middle school (mid 2000s mind you), we were playing a basketball game against a team that had one black kid. He got tangled up with one of my teammates and they both fell to the ground. My friend said something like “get the fuck off me, changito” (little monkey). I was right there. I don’t think the other kid understood what it meant. I didn’t say anything or call out my friend on it, ever. I still feel bad about that. 
     

    I think a lot of times non-black people hear people say racist slurs or ideas, and they don’t say or do anything about it. Can’t have this racist person think you’re not “cool”, can’t seem like a sensitive person or whatever other BS excuse you can think of. Many people still feel perfectly ok expressing racist views when that “group” isn’t around, and that really needs to change if race relations can ever really improve more.

  17. Say what you want about Spike Lee, it took me a long time to finally understand his point about the riot scene in Do The Right Thing. Many people will always value a white man's property over a black man's life. 

    Many of the rioters may be people truly fed up with their reality, but the ones that loot just see an opportunity for greed and take it.
