  1. Something, something, South Austin’s mom.
  2. I hate to be “that guy” but is buffstreams still the service of choice for the PPV card?
  3. The virologist quoted as noting the data as “stunning also says that it would be a mistake to base public health decisions off antibody rates across a population
  4. A giant swath of the population does not get to stay home from work while they wait for test results, even if they don’t feel 100%.
  5. Candidate for longest surly motto ever? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I think I addressed this up thread (20 posts earlier), but gummies = felony. For your friend, that 8 ounces is sentenced under the same framework as coke or meth. Ergo, 8 ounces = 2nd degree felony, which is punishable by 2-10 years TDCJ.
  7. Here is a nugget/pro-tip/etc.: Simply because APD is no longer enforcing MJ laws, that does NOT mean that it is "legal". Seems obvious enough, but it matters because even wth the new policy change, a cop COULD (and would, IMO) use the odor of MJ alone as PC to search your vehicle without consent, to then charge you with any other crimes they uncover. Also, do not carry a pistol if you have weed in your car/on you, because that results in an Unlawful Carryiing of a weapon. This applies whether y9ou have a conceal carry permit or not.
  8. The usual line at my daily 7-11 stop in Belton on Friday. No masks and the concept of “6 feet” seems really difficult for them.
  9. If someone thinks less of a real hate crime or responds differently because of the existence of fake ones, that’s their problem and they probably didn’t give a fuck about the real issues anyway.
  10. Just to make sure...everyone needs to realize that the article is from February.
  11. There are a lot of shitty outcomes between “asymptomatic” and “dead”. Also, I’m not sure “weaker strain” is what you actually mean, but I’m no scientist. Are you saying that the virus has mutated or what?
  12. Explain. I have zero idea what your post is referring to.
  13. What a convenient bitch-assed way to bow out of the thread after multiple posts not coming anywhere NEAR addressing the legal analysis which refutes your theory. You didn't just ghost the thread. You set of some false martyrish "high road". Weak

  15. I have no issue with the conclusion that Brooks was under the influence, but I would point out that the “breathalyzer” test referenced is not admissible in court at all, because it does not meet minimal standards of reliability and accuracy.
  16. Is your theory about “leftist DA’s” deliberately trying to have cops walk away unscathed, as a result of their over-charging, in order to spark violence? If so, WOW. They may be politically motivated to “go for more”, but your explanation is literally not even fathomable, because you ignore how LESSER INCLUDED CHARGES work in Minnesota. I won’t get into the details since most people here are familiar, but if you are saying that Floyd’s killer is going to walk because he was charged with 2nd degree, just name a dollar amount and we can book this wager however you want. They could up it to the most severe charge that they have on the books and he STILL isn’t walking out of that courtroom a free man.
  17. Not sure if it’s what you are after, but from April 10 - June 10, overall U.S. deaths totaled 109k more than the same period of last year.
  18. Wow. They really take that oath seriously.
  19. The indictment contains a bunch of lesser insiders so I’m thinking that something will land.
  20. Who the fuck arms themselves and goes out solo to “protect a sculpture”? Obviously doesn’t merit being surrounded and jumped (if that’s the whole story), but seriously. WTF?

  22. This sounds like very plausible analysis, but if you throw around terms like “every jurisdiction” and “clear” from a legal standpoint”, you need to cite statutes and case law. I would pick at one piece of your analysis regarding “attempted aggravated assault” though. The hypothetical you describe would just be aggravated assault (assuming a taser qualifies) and not “attempted”, under Texas law. ETA: The scenario you describe would almost always be prosecuted under the deadly conduct statute, and it would not be uncommon for it to be a misdemeanor.
  23. So tasers should be classified and treated as deadly force? So cops should only use them when confronted with deadly force? They shouldn’t use them to subdue unarmed fleeing/resisting individuals?
  24. Yeah. You see him point a bright yellow taser.
  25. I mean, I’m not behind the banning of the Eyes, but your post implies that this THE THING (singular) that they chose to go after, out of “all of the change the athletes could ask for”. That implication is fucking inaccurate and stupid AF. It’s one of 8 bullet points of asks from a list of proposals specific the The University and athletics. It’s like if they abandoned these goals than suddenly their main goal of “no more police murdering blacks” would magically come to fruition.
