    Short people.  smh

    They got little baby legs
    And they stand so low
    You got to pick 'em up
    Just to say hello
    They got little cars
    That go beep, beep, beep
    They got little voices
    Goin' peep, peep, peep
    They got grubby little fingers
    And dirty little minds
    They're gonna get you every time

    It’s not a surprise that our government can be bought, it’s a surprise just how cheaply it came be done.

    Exactly. 50k could get me 500k in business I could otherwise not get and it’s a win-win and likely peanuts compared to the shit that actually happens. Only risk is I’m small enough to be held accountable if caught.

    Sorry to have to spell it out: It's a figure of speech. There is a meme going around that a keffiyeh on an American college campus is just a hipster swastika

     

     

     

    Googled this meme and the saying is attributed to Jim Treacher (not real name of course) a blogger for The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson’s website. Good to know what parts of the internet you hang out on to come across this “meme.”

    I didn’t say they weren’t wronged. They probably were. What do you do when you’re wronged?

    Shorted my creamy pepper sauce at Whataburger? Get over it.

     

    Falsely arrested and a night in jail. Lawyer up and sue.

    I don’t really know what happened. Neither do you. I know that if a group I supported were arrested and ultimately released without charge because of police being heavy handed or because of campus administration / police being scared of a PR disaster, I’d get over it very quickly. 

    I believe more alumni are more perturbed with the messages the naive protestors were sending than anything Abbott or Hartzell or police did.  I don’t think the comparison is close.

    I understand what you’re saying. We still do not know what happened behind the scenes (though I’ll reiterate it appears police were unnecessarily heavy handed). And my perspective is certainly shaped by age. Despite that all you say above is true, life isn’t fair, and everyone arrested should be able to get over it. 


     

    Just get over being falsely detained/arrested/spending a night in jail because the cops realized they couldn’t continue their bullshit anymore. Just an inexplicably stupid take.

    That's horse blood.  You can see briefly where it's most wet and appears to be flowing out.  Horses almost never trample people if there is enough space to avoid it.  They have fragile legs and enough self-preservation instinct to steer clear of people in their way, especially ceremonial horses.  

    Used to work with a horse trainer that did a lot of work with the mounted officers in Austin.  Now THOSE, are some damn well trained horses/riders.  In the event of a riot, they can stand nose to tail and form a wall and sidestep and entire crowd off the street if they have to.  

    That's a sad video of a couple of scared, wounded animals.

    Trained to charge into a crowd of innocent bystanders on sixth street mardi gras weekend 2001 setting off a riot they used to justify canceling of Fat Tuesday parade/celebrations. And basically ending actual sanctioned Mardi Gras activities on sixth going forward.

    Fascinating. So you're one of those guys on the freeway.  Every time I get on an open highway it's obvious most people aren't aware cruise control even exists, especially younger drivers.    It's infuriating dealing with all the chucklefucks who will drive a couple of miles per hour slower than you would like to, but only speed up after you pass them and then slow right back down after they get in front of you again.  I gues they can't handle being behind someone.  Anyone who pulls that shit should lose their highway driving privileges.  Pick a fucking speed and stick with it. 


    I see this too, but it’s not young drivers, usually middle aged to olds doing the up down speed and catching up when they get passed only to slow again while I’m using my ACC to maintain same speed the whole time.

    Because I know how to control a gas pedal and maintain speed? And I like to pass slow drivers.

    Whoa there ... Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is the greatest highway driving advancement of my lifetime.

    Exactly people pedal driving are missing out on the benefits of ACC I can keep an eye on it and lane change when available to maintain speed in loose traffic, or it can slow me down in heavier traffic so someone like Hank can weave in and out causing the slow down he claims he’s avoiding.

    Maybe that's one rare example then. Then again, you got a lot of Jan 6 realtors up that way. 

    I was just trying to say we’re not as rich and as assholeish as the southlakes of the world lol, never said we didn’t have our share of crazies…

    I do have some more insight into it but it’s honestly not worth it. Mike mike and his brother and his family said it happened and I’m gonna leave it at that. There were lots of rumors of ulterior motives behind the move though. I will say this I watched him play in elementary school and he was always the best athlete on the field.
     

    My kids play sports in Allen and I will say that football and basketball are more diverse than baseball at the youth level.  Allen as a whole seems more diverse than those other places. Maybe it’s just what I’m around though.
