  1. Please don't insult me by insinuating I'm a Roman Catholic! Sort of kidding, but I did not go to a Jesuit HS.
  2. I think Orem, UT. Population 100,000. But the Provo-Orem area has about 750,000 people.
  3. It is hard to fathom how a person could get onto campus in a modern city, set up with a rifle, fire it, and then disappear like a fart in the wind. I served on a jury in a criminal trial a few weeks ago in Harris County. There was so much video of the suspect it was as if we were watching a TV show. Cameras at most intersections he passed through, license plate readers, cell phone images. Have to think they will find this person pretty quickly, even if he ran off initially.
  4. That's such ignorant horseshit. He literally called for nonviolence for years. He may have said and believed many things others don't, but his message was not about violence. Anyone who listened for more than a sound bite understands this CK_IdeasCollide.mp4 .
  5. I have a son who is a freshman in high school. He doesn't yet have social media, but I follow all of his friends so he can peek at their IG accounts from my phone now and again. I think 100% of his friends whom I follow posted something in their IG stories about Kirk. Some of that is probably copycat, fit in, go with the crowd behavior, but my son said that "everyone at school knows who Charlie Kirk is." /csb
  6. Those last 2 pictures are eerie. Such a shame. Killed while in the very act of practicing peaceful political discourse.
  7. The evil is all the more egregious when you consider that Charlie Kirk has devoted his public life to building a platform rooted in good faith efforts at civil political discourse. More than almost anyone else in America, whether on the right or the left, he has sought to model reasoned debate in the public square. His entire project has been centered on bridging the divide, engaging with those who disagree, and relying on the power of speech rather than the threat of violence to confront the issues that tear at our nation. To attack a man who has consistently chosen dialogue over destruction and persuasion over coercion is not simply a wrong against him personally. It is a rejection of the very principles that make a free society possible. Crazy. Sad.
  8. Lots of truth in here.
  9. Stabber stopped by a good guy with a gun, thankfully.
  10. Congrats on funding the A&M Athletics Department. All kidding aside, the Torn family is great and Ozark/OTX are extremely popular.
  11. Is there a best website/source that has these statistics and updates them? I assume they are past the point of finding bodies daily now. Just a trickle with many never to be found at all. Just wondering what the current stats are.
  12. Anybody got any nice pictures for reference? Let's see a full lake.
  13. 1) I don't take my seat until the previews are almost over. I showed up to F1 about 20 minutes late, watched a preview or 2 and then it was showtime. 2) No intermission required for this length of film, though I prefer shorter movies, and this one could have lost 15-20 minutes and been fine. I don't go to the movie theater much anymore, but for a big film like F1 or Top Gun: Maverick, the experience is worth it to me.
  14. Thank God HOH was out of session. I don't know exactly what damage it sustained or where the waters got, but it did enough to kill Jane.
  15. Relax, statement police. He said that his daughter was elsewhere.
  16. That illustrates the power and destruction of such vast amounts of moving water. Hard to fathom. Devastating.
  17. Yes. Investigated and he was cleared. She appealed. Investigated again and he was cleared and she was fired.
  18. You gotta have a better gas station plan.
  19. Sadly, No. If you have to search that hard, it's pretty obvious.
  20. Cord is a good guy who craves the breaking info a bit too much. A horrible misstep.
  21. I'm glad they are finding so many bodies. I have a friend whose wife was washed away in a flood years ago. They never found her body. That's been tough on him and the family.
  22. yep. I watched his video several times to be sure. He has no direct evidence. Chip Roy flat out said it wasn't true. No law enforcement or rescue service has confirmed it. No news station has confirmed it. Of course, it's all over FB and mom texts.
