  1. Significant tourney run; Sweet 16 at worst.
  2. Roster is fully 10 deep assuming Disu comes back. Might be nice to add an 11th guy who can play, either an Avery Benson type, a strict 3 pt shooter, or a shot blocker. But either way this roster is stacked. Beard needs to make hay.
  3. Not a gun owner but seen them answer this question enough to know there are 2 answers: ”I don’t need a reason, it’s my constitutional right.” ”To protect myself and mine from an oppressive federal government or others who intend to do me harm.”
  4. So the NRA deal went off without a hitch? Trump and Cruz got up and spoke, uninterrupted? Fuck me, this world really is nothing but ash.
  5. Cornyn responded to my email: TLDR: His response was to highlight a bunch of legislation he sponsored that obviously didn’t work. Fuck him.
  6. I called both Cornyn and Cruz, and emailed them each twice. Neither answered the phone (although I did call Cornyn after hours). I left pleading messages. I don’t expect it to do any good. But had to take some kind of immediate action.
  7. Ted Cruz gunning for King of the Pieces of Shit
  8. I am pretty surprised there haven’t been more protests/riots etc about this. Contrasted to the reaction to something like George Floyd’s murder (for which I think the resulting nationwide protest was justified), you would think 19 little children getting slaughtered while cops cowered in fear nearby would trigger a similar if not greater response.
  9. https://apple.news/AT5VsOIF9Rcu9s1iYb2G94Q This is the latest timeline I’ve seen on the response. So he wasn’t engaged at all before entering the school. Cops got there 4 minutes later, got shot at, and RETREATED. By this time or likely shortly thereafter he killed most of his victims. Then they ATTEMPTED TO NEGOTIATE, with a hostage negotiator calling the shooter and him picking up and immediately hanging up. Finally, after 40+ minutes, they went in and killed him. Heads better roll, top to bottom.
  10. They got answers for all that shit, man. Just go talk to a priest (but watch your cornhole).
  11. Coming into a message board 48 hours after 19 4th graders were shot dead and calling the people demanding preventative change “angry dipshits” is an interesting move. Look inward, homes.
  12. Yes. At least 8 organizations have signed on to protest. My opinion: if that convention is allowed to go on uninterrupted (or at all), this state has no soul. Im no political activist but am discussing with my wife traveling to Houston tomorrow.
  13. For the past 48 hours the only thing I have been able to think about at all is that it could have been my precious innocent beautiful little daughter, paralyzed by fear as the shooter walked in, and the last thought going through her mind being “daddy come save me”, and me not being there. This one is really fucking me up.
  14. 0% chance Walker shows up to debate Warnock.
  15. I fucking hate Ted Cruz, but that’s fake.
  16. The reason so many are so angry right now is because the “practical solution” is very obvious and easily implemented if it weren’t for voters like you. That simple.
  17. Good point. They don’t know the power they have. Parents who didn’t know before got to know an inkling of what teaching is like during pandemic. If teachers presented a united front nationwide they could get a LOT done.
  18. Low hanging fruit was a poor choice of words. I meant that politically as compared to gun control. I realize getting the money for something like that would be near impossible. Just feels like there has to be the societal will to do something significant.
  19. Sorry that is happening to you. Good luck.
  20. Higher age limit, waiting periods, more extensive background checks, insurance requirements, training requirements, ANY of that would help.
  21. With all due respect, and I do mean with all due respect, fuck you (don’t take that as a personal attack because it’s not). You sure made a lot of assumptions about me from my comment. If we make the requisite changes, the teachers will come. Pay is one lever. But reducing the student/teacher ratio would also have a significant on impact teachers’ job satisfaction. I went through teacher certification and spent time in classrooms, and one of the main reasons I didn’t end up staying in teaching was because the teachers are just overwhelmed, mostly because they’re responsible for too many kids. ETA: I say low hanging fruit meaning politically compared to gun control.
  22. That beautiful little girl reminds me so much of my daughter. I almost couldn’t take them to school today. I imagine what those parents are going through and I don’t think I would survive that amount of grief and anger. So sorry for what they’re all going through.
