  1. Link to video of hostages escaping out the side and the hostage taker partially following and then going back in. Then the FBI Tactical team goes in. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/uncut-video-hostages-escape-building-situation-fbi-breaches-texas-synagogue-ending-nearly-12-hour-standoff-colleyville-tx/287-57f2bbd1-a933-4042-ba06-63f4ee51a68f?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab&fbclid=IwAR0jJvU-yanAe6r0PRSVk8MJlu2LuJhXSe0d6R-rhLa1bqDLYzxgEO_aMV8 As I said prior. They escaped, he did not release them.
  2. The other 3 were not released, but they were escaping.
  3. Appears to be over and hostages unharmed. Not sure about gunman.
  4. Add in some soccer fields, mention the elementary school (where the police are marshaling) and that pretty much sums it up.
  5. So it is kind of a pulling for a meteorite strike type of situation for him.
  6. The Temple serves members primarily in Colleyville, Southlake, Keller and Hurst areas (that general vicinity).
  7. Based on why she is incarcerated they would not let her talk with him.
  8. He did know the feed was on. There was video but no one on in the picture. The audio could be heard and the hostage taker did not realize it was on. He seems upset about life, but the news has now reported that he has a sister in Federal custody he wanted to communicate with. I believe he and his Sister are Pakistani.
  9. There was a Facebook stream of services up. Video was just of Bema but video was on for a while and went down a few hours ago. You could hear him ranting and cursing.
  10. 1 Gunman. 4 hostages including Rabbi. All hostages are men. Police/SWAT in the area. No shots fired and has been ongoing for 4+ hours. FBI negotiators working with local law enforcement.
  11. Shouldn't these two pictures/captions be reversed?
  12. So long haired freaky people need not wear masks?
  13. This must mean that all of you posters on Surly are brilliant!! ... You probably believed that and missed the sarcasm. Which means you're stupid.
  14. This is exactly how Texas handled this but even worse. Please tell all of your California friends!

    what an unlucky guy

    Happens all the time.
  16. When I first moved to Texas I thought it would be a similar type structure. I assumed each school district would set an annual budget. Property valuations would be used to determine your payment or percent of that total budget. So if you had a $100K valued house and it increased 10% to 110K, but the overall value of property in your school district increased by 15% on average, then you would pay LESS in taxes because your portion of the total school district property values went down and it would be applied to a fixed annual budget amount. The idea that property values would be done annually and if values went up the school district got more money without regard to budgeting and planning made no sense. Of course with Robin Hood it really means that if property values go up everyone pays more to get approximately the same school district budget but the school district pays more to the State who then gives it to other school districts. Or the State lowers the per student amount they give everyone which would be paid from other revenue sources and they use the additional tax/Robin Hood funds to cover the state paying less of the per student bill. Great system. Clear as mud.
  17. An interesting question with this would be how many of the ICU patients are there because of Covid or were admitted for something else and just tested positive as well.
  18. So what is the repair shop owners Surly ID? And what is the ex-employees Texags ID?
