Mexican-American woman in Dallas hates Indian immigrants
crash_davis replied to HornPhD's topic in Daily Texan
Update. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/plano-texas-racist-attack-esmeralda-upton-collin-county-hate-crime-charges/287-99a1494f-bd6f-4cf9-81a7-295ff6ceffa4 A North Texas woman has been convicted on hate crime charges in a racist attack on women of South Asian descent outside of a restaurant in 2022, officials announced Tuesday. Esmeralda Upton, 59, of Plano, pleaded guilty to four state hate crime charges: Three misdemeanor assault charges and one misdemeanor charge of terroristic threat, with all four charges falling under the Texas hate crime enhancement statute, according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office. The hate crime enhancement was added to the charges on allegations that Upton "intentionally selected the victim because of Upton's bias and prejudice against the victim's race and national origin," the district attorney's office said in a release. Upton was sentenced to two years of community supervision probation and 40 days in the Collin County Jail. She was also fined $500 for each charge. The incident involved four victims and happened Aug. 24, 2022, outside of a Sixty Vines restaurant in Plano. “As Americans, we should all be able to enjoy our Constitutional liberties, free and secure from this type of racially motivated assault," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said. "Indeed, America is the only nation on earth defined more by its ideals than by race or ethnicity." According to the arrest affidavit, the group of women told police that Upton approached them and began yelling at them to go back to India and that "Indians are ruining this country." This is when the group of women started recording Upton, the affidavit said. Police said the group of women told officers Upton hit them, which she admitted to and the viral video also shows. The affidavit also said Upton continued to make racially-charged comments throughout her conversation with the officer on scene. According to the affidavit, Upton told police she became agitated when the group called her a "white woman." Upton originally stated to police she was a "first generation" American, but later said she was "second generation." She told police that she is "Mexican-American" and "Native-American" and lives in a $1.5 million home. Upton admitted to police she struck one of the women because they were "videoing and saying all of this (expletive) that I wasn't doing. And that's what they do. Just like the Black people," the affidavit said. The affidavit also said one of the three videos recorded by the group of women shows Upton saying, "I'm going to blow your (expletive) brains out" and "I swear to God I am going to shoot your (expletive)." According to the affidavit, after being asked for her identification, Upton asked police if they'd like to see her license to carry a firearm as well. The officer asked Upton if she was "carrying" at the time, and she said she wasn't, but stated that her firearm was in her vehicle. Police referred to Upton in the affidavit as "very agitated and uncooperative." -
Bride Tries to Charge 1500 a Head to Attend Her Wedding

Bride Tries to Charge 1500 a Head to Attend Her Wedding
crash_davis replied to G650's topic in Daily Texan
Had the wedding in the OP gone through, I bet she'd be in this statistic. Pricier weddings led to higher chance of divorce. Could it be that the bride is a demanding bitch whom the groom will soon tire of? https://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/13/living/wedding-expenses-study/index.html#: Want a happy marriage? Have a big, cheap wedding A new study found that couples who spend less on their wedding tend to have longer-lasting marriages than those who splurge. The study, by two economics professors at Emory University, found a similar correlation between less-expensive engagement rings and lower divorce rates. Specifically, the study found that women whose wedding cost more than $20,000 divorced at a rate roughly 1.6 times higher than women whose wedding cost between $5,000 and $10,000. And couples who spent $1,000 or less on their big day had a lower than average rate of divorce. -
Different strokes for different folks. I have a ton of "friends" in Houston suburbs who commute hours to work, think a vacation is spending a week on the Frio, who spend every weekend at a baseball/volleyball/soccer/softball tourney, and never venture far from their shitty suburb except to sit in a lawn chair/bleacher somewhere. No wonder they are all pissed off all the time. That's living hell in my book.

For all the shit we give her, she sometimes actually tries to do good shit. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/council-member-moves-to-ease-burden-of-homeless-camp-cleanups-on-private-property-owners/ Council member moves to ease burden of homeless camp cleanups on private property owners “They said they were getting no help from the city, which would be accurate because it is the responsibility of a private property owner to clean when there is an encampment,” Kelly said. “I decided that I wanted to do everything I could to help them get that taken care of so I organized a group of volunteers and we went out there and cleaned almost 2.5 tons of trash.” That’s why Kelly is working on a resolution that could provide resources for neighborhoods — or property owners — in the same situation. She’ll need other council members to get on board with the idea to get the resolution on a city council agenda. “My hope is that I can get my colleagues on board with a resolution that would direct the city manager to provide additional resources for individuals who have this type of crisis where they are, because that’s what it is, it’s a crisis,” Kelly said. There's a pretty big homeless camp in 2 vacant buildings right off Lamar directly across from the DPS station. It's immediately behind the P. Terry's. Last week driving by the buildings when I was leaving P. Terry's, I saw a homeless dude inside the fences between the 2 buildings swinging at the air with 2 big ass machetes. The place trashed on the outside. I hate to imagine what the inside of the 2 buildings looks like. I imagine it's some sort of Thunderdome. I imagine there are 10s to 100s of abandon buildings infested with homeless. I'd hate to see the cleaning bill if/when the city finally evicts the homeless from the buildings. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9ckLspun6oWSA7ks7

Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.

They are hurting financially, missing earnings. Which leads to this... https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/ouch-southwest-airlines-just-raised-early-boarding-fees-heres-how-much-more-youll-pay/ar-BB1nHbq0 Southwest Airlines' EarlyBird Check-In still starts at $15, but can now cost up to $99 one way, depending on the flight. EarlyBird Check-in promises a higher boarding position than regular check-in. Previously, EarlyBird Check-In cost a maximum of $25 one way. Southwest Upgraded Boarding, which guarantees a boarding position between A1 and A15 for flights departing within 24 hours, starts at $30 and will now cost as much as $149 per segment per customer. -

How does a 51 yr old man still have a roommate? Oh, he's a Travis County assistant DA. Maybe he can act crazy unfit to stand trial and his boss will let him back out on the street immediately. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/travis-county-assistant-district-attorney-arrested-charged-with-aggravated-assault/ A Travis County assistant district attorney was arrested Saturday morning on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following an argument with a roommate, according to an arrest affidavit. Joseph Frederick III, 51, was booked in the Travis County jail at 3:49 a.m. by the Austin Police Department, according to Travis County inmate records. According to the arrest affidavit, Frederick and his roommate got into an argument Friday after Frederick said his roommate was making “googly eyes” at a guest in their apartment. An argument escalated and the roommate went into his bedroom, locked his door and packed his belongings, the affidavit said. During this time, the roommate told police Frederick was trying to force the bedroom door open and caused damage to the door. The roommate told police he opened the bedroom door and saw Frederick pointing a silver revolver at him, according to the affidavit. The roommate left the room, and when he returned he saw Frederick point a gun at his face and say, “I’ll shoot you.”

I am not lookin for the video nor would I post it. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/python-swallows-woman-whole-indonesia/ Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017. The husband of 45-year-old Farida and residents of Kalempang village in South Sulawesi province discovered her on Friday inside the reticulated python, which measured around five meters (16 feet). The mother-of-four had gone missing Thursday night and failed to return home, forcing a search effort, village head Suardi Rosi told AFP. Her husband "found her belongings... which made him suspicious. The villagers then searched the area. They soon spotted a python with a large belly," said Suardi. "They agreed to cut open the python's stomach. As soon as they did, Farida's head was immediately visible." Farida was found fully clothed inside the snake. Graphic video published by TMZ appeared to show the snake being cut open in a wooded area while more footage posted by the Daily Mail appeared to show the woman's body being carried in a blanket past distressed villagers.

MoJames said it post 147. Acetazolamide https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2020/0415/p505.html Acetazolamide aids in acclimatization and should be strongly considered for high-altitude travelers at moderate to high risk of AMS. The recommended prophylactic dosage for adults is 125 mg every 12 hours; the dosage for children is 2.5 mg per kg (maximum: 125 mg) every 12 hours. Acetazolamide should be started the day before ascent and continued for two to four days after arrival at the target altitude. However, it still has beneficial effects if started the day of ascent. Although acetazolamide is a sulfonamide, it is extremely unlikely to cause an allergic reaction; a supervised trial can be considered before traveling

Glad you did my favorite part about visiting Paris, walking around getting "lost" in the city and finding out how fucking awesome it is. The "rude Parisians" are the ones clueless American's walk up to and without even a polite "Bonjour Monsieur/Madame", immediately start speaking/asking questions in English, and then get pissed that the French person France is not so nice or cordial in answering. Florence is awesome but for me Florence is a place where I love to visit. Paris is a place where I'd love to live.

Worst bike crash I ever had. We had a neighborhood slide like the below which broke. We decided to convert it into a bike ramp. Laid if flat on the ground which meant the ramp was about 60 degrees straight up. I was the first and only idiot to try the jump. Hauled ass, took the jump, which basically shot me up vertically. No down ramp to come down on. I landed straight down on both wheels. My handle bar stripped forward. I fell over the front of the bike as the handle bar stripped. My nuts crashed the goose neck at the base of the handle bar. I broke my balls and dick. I don't think I stopped crying for 30 mins. My friends could not stop laughing the entire time. It was the last time I ever tried any stupid shit on my bike.
