  1. Pepper spray /= firearm Not everyone needs to be armed with a lethal weapon to protect themselves from occupational hazards. As for your links, how many millions of deliveries are made each day? Of the occupational hazards of the occupation, I’m guessing FiFi is way below auto accidents, distracted driving, slip ‘n falls, back strain, etc.
  2. And Tennessee fan based on the table and chair. S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C!
  3. 1. How does one discover that they are a “monkey torture enthusiast?” That’s some real specific, sick shit. 2. The picture tells you pretty much everything you need to know about this cretin.
  4. To the first question, it’s not fucking Falllujah out there. To the second question, agreed.
  5. Lol if you think 67% of food delivery folks are packing heat. Additional lol that you think “uncontrolled pit bulls” are some sort of gigantic threat to delivery drivers. How come postal carriers aren’t dropping like flies when all they can be armed with is pepper spray? Where are all the headlines about UPS, FedEx and Amazon delivery drivers getting mauled? Dude, you either sound like someone scared of their own shadow in this post or you just really want to justify killing a 30 pound dog.
  6. It’s an odd Venn diagram, that’s for sure.
  7. Dude is a pussy if his first instinct is to pull a gun and shoot. If he does get a bite, it likely doesn’t do much damage and then he gets to sue Angie Harmon who surely has good insurance. He missed out on a potential pay day.
  8. I’ve been pulled over (knocks on wood) exactly once in the last 23 years and it was by a Harris County Constable about the lack of a front license plate on my car. Want to know where said traffic stop occurred? While I was in the drive-thru line at the Raising Cane’s in my neighborhood. That’s real impactful law enforcement right there.

    Great summary of your thoughts. I agree with pretty much everything you state here with a slight nit to pick with “egregious over representation.” That’s going down a Newsmax path, IMO, even if I don’t think you’re taking it to that extreme. As for your original statement of DEI isn’t politics, I think maybe what you’re saying is DEI shouldn’t be politics, because what we’re seeing DEI has very much been a target of politicians. If that’s what you’re saying, I agree, DEI shouldn’t be politics, but when we have shitheel politicians actively attacking diversity, I think we have to have some guardrails and protections in place.

    Count me in the more cynical camp. I’m just curious about his opinion that this isn’t political when these changes are being brought on in response to legislation that was passed and signed into law by politicians.
  11. Was just about to post this same thing. I watched it 3x to closely watch the guys behind him. Not one of them even flinches.

    If what you suppose is the case, and maybe it will turn out that it is, why did our elected politicians need to pass a law to address it? That just feels to me like we made university administrators do a lot of work to restructure programs all in the name of politics.

    I have two Nirvanas in my neighborhood orbit.
  15. I hear you, but it eventually contributes to a bigger gap between the haves and have nots as opposed to actually addressing the root problem. Since that’s not going to happen any time soon we play with what we have, I suppose.
  16. On a good day, it can be very, very good. I’ve also had Pit Room and a bad day and it was pretty terrible. I live right smack in between the Pit Room and Truth so I go to Truth 9 times out of 10.
  17. A true solution requires a big investment in mental health and substance abuse treatment and we know that’s not going to happen. Instead, we use the justice system at a higher price.
  18. I read it when it came out a week or two ago. Pretty good read. Bottom line is that Harris County has empowered the constables to create a place in the law enforcement ecosystem that is unique in the state. To your point about the constable being more helpful than calling HPD, that was one of the main points of the article. Basically, the constables don’t and won’t investigate real crime. They respond to nuisance shit which makes them viewed favorably in the community. All of these elected constables are greatly incentivized to go out and sell their services to neighborhoods to expand their fiefdom. One of the funniest things in the series was about a particular precinct that doesn’t have any HCTRA roads in it. The constable was mad because his precinct wasn’t getting any of that sweet, sweet HCTRA ticket revenue so HCTRA carved off a few miles of BW8 so that this precinct’s deputies could patrol it. it makes some pretty good points that lead you to question the expansion of constables into law enforcement instead of being process servers since it is diverting resources away from the sheriff’s office.
  19. Your point is very valid. I was going more about the uneducated that make up his most enthusiastic and cult like base. The people on the videos from rallies that get posted on Twitter and we all laugh at. That’s the frustrating thing to me. These are people that Trump despises yet they worship him. And then the assumingly educated folks you refer to are in on it as well for reasons I’ll never understand. I’ve made jokes about it before, but the fact is that traffic on this site would take an huge hit if all the Trumpers moved to TexAgs where they belong. There are lots of folks that received an education at this once fine state’s flagship university that not only think this is all hunky dory, they vote for it enthusiastically.
  20. Because these people never leave their trailer parks to see the world for themselves so they believe everything that’s shoveled at them by Trump. These dimwits are the exact reason why the GQP wants to dismantle the education system in this country.
  21. And we have no idea how many dead bodies and scooters are in the lake so we can’t determine the effectiveness of these initiatives.
