    That was my first thought, but people were shot at several locations according to the article.

     

    Also imagining this happening in a small town, in Texas.  Sonofabitch would have been shot sooner; if word was out that someone was on a rampage.  Fucking cowards love shooting up unarmed people...

    Didn’t some guy do almost the exact same thing in the Midland-Odessa shooting last year? Shot over 20 people, killed 8. And Canada has relatively high gun ownership rates too.

    Perhaps read again slowly.  No where anywhere did I say they deserved jail time. But court of public opinion has them never going to school and likely unable to get a decent job ever which means likely a permanent drain in society. I compared the statements of discussions where folks where in favor of rehab of inmates but when it comes to saying the n word on social media they felt differently and where in favor of them not being able to be a productive member of society 

    You’re literally just inventing a problem. No one is wishing these people anything more than difficulty getting into school or a job for a while. They can easily manage to do both anyway. Community college, some low-level job for a few years. Hardly a “punishment” in the grand scheme of things. The dude here was essentially in an American semi-pro Lucha Libre league. He was never some Rhodes scholar on his way to a decent job anyway. I know you feel sorry for these two but they played a stupid game and now they’ll get their stupid prize. That’s just life.

    Having a hard time grasping how a public school has the right to expel them from school based on something they did out of school that was in their legal rights to do.

    I understand if they were on a sports team or other sports organization, they could kick them off them. But is there something that says racists do not have the right to a public education?

    They're seniors and school is cancelled the rest of the year anyway. They'd be morons to stay in the limelight and try and fight it (but they clearly are morons so they just might). Even if they weren't seniors I wouldn't even want to go back to that school. There'd be a fair amount of people that now have problems with them I imagine. It was just a ceremonial motion by the school. But I don't know what their student code of conduct policy is, maybe there is legitimate grounds to expel them. 

    If they actually have gotten death threats, the school could argue their attendance creates student safety issues I suppose. 

  4. UTSA gets a commitment from Sharyland Pioneer QB Eddie Lee Marburger. Solid pickup for the Roadrunners, as many believe Marburger to be the best QB prospect in valley history. Yes the competition was weak but still 5500 total yards and 75 total TD's last year are eye popping numbers. He also torched Boerne Champion in that 3rd round OT playoff loss last year fwiw. 

  5. Racism can absolutely be funny, anything can be. That video just wasn’t to be honest. Unoriginal jokes, no wit. Just all around stupid. 

    My perspective might be different than most, I grew up in the social media age. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people that post stupid shit. Even as a kid I knew not to post anything offensive, even any cuss words and stuff like that. The whole world can see whatever you post, forever. I’m not uniquely smart either, it’s just common sense.

    I’m a major history buff, love watching a great documentary. 
     

    Ken Burns docs suck shit through a bendy straw. Like watching paint still inside of a bucket dry. So incredibly boring. While his baseball docs are the most comprehensive, there’s far more interesting ones out there (Battered bastards, Screwball, most of the baseball 30 for 30s)

    And by Screwball I meant Knuckleball. Point still stands.

    Read an article he was a friend and greatly respected by Rittiman (outgoing coach) and his mentor is DW Rutledge,  likely received their endorsement.   Still,  for such a prominent program...

    Johnson’s not a very prominent school, only about 12 years old. Not a whole lot of football success. Judson is who you’re thinking of. Unless my meter is broken.

    Boy, looking at flights to NYC for a long weekend vacation in early May and I have to tell you, you can get a round trip for $287 and have your pick of anywhere on the plane with United. Seattle is $301 and Vegas is $401 through the end of June. Hotels are through the floor for the same period. We went ahead and locked up trip to all 3 places. Reservations at 7:30 available at every nice restaurant you can imagine in every one of those cities, too. 

    We figure we’ll go catch corona in NYC, enjoy ourselves while there, come back to Houston and convalesce if necessary, and then run amok in the other places along with the rest of Branch Covidians who’ve all recovered. Meanwhile, gmr5389272794 and the rest of the despondent pearl clutchers can continue to shelter in place and advocate patience well into 2022 until we can all be certain. 

    Every poor person I know either has Vegas as a favorite vacation spot or a dream destination. That’s not a joke at all either. Every one. Can’t fathom someone with any semblance of class and actual money wanting to go there.

    Jeff, the "hitman" and jet ski guy were the smartest of the group, or at least they listened to good advice. When the federal govt is after you, it's highly likely they are going to convict you.You need to find a way to get on the govt side ASAP. Jeff seemed scared when he found out the operations were being investigated and the feds hadn't spoken to him yet. That sounds like you're close to the 6am banging on the front door. Smart of him to seek out a conversation.

    I get that Carole and crew went after Joe's business of going to malls for petting/photo with tiger cubs, but he seemingly had a good thing going for him in OK. Why he failed to stop using their trademarks is beyond me. Of course he did that only to fuck with her. He treated these business relationships like kids running lemonade stands not multi-million dollar business that people are dependent on for a living.

    Finally I have no idea if he actually hired that guy to kill Carole or not, but I do think it wouldn't have been tough to convince him to do it. If you hang around enough shady characters and constantly talk about wanting someone dead, I imagine one of them will eventually agree to it.

     

    I was amazed at how quick to snitching the three most “criminal” dudes in the show were. Really highlights the difference between fraudsters like them and actual tough criminals.

    Saw that Jordan Battles, QB at Brandies is now enrolling at Judson.

    Their QB the past 2 yrs, Mike Chandler, played his frosh & soph years at Johnson HS. The Rockets going full Lincoln Riley at the QB spot. But I did hear that Battles wanted to move to WR or DB (which is what he would play in college) and his Brandeis coaches weren’t having it. Hence his move. 
     

    Might be all for naught though if the season is cancelled. Damn shame, I thought Harlingen had the right pieces to go all the way this year. Guess we’ll never know.

    If you're telling me I have to wait until fucking June 1 for a haircut, I'm going to kill someone. 

    Got a way shorter than normal haircut about a week before shit got crazy. I just didn’t want to be in close contact for awhile with a barber with the virus around, but I didn’t imagine we’d go into quarantine like this. Worked out great. I could go till June with no haircut, I’ve got thick wavy hair the babes go crazy for. Sorry you have shitty hair/can’t plan ahead.
