This was entertaining. Lots of Inglorious Basterds DNA.

I've been very wary of Houston poker for a while. Many of the rooms rake, much of the management have questionable histories, and security and clientele are a problem at many of the clubs. I fear these clubs will ruin it for everyone. We're lucky in Austin relative to them.

I know they don't like them. I just wonder if Egypt could be paid enough to tolerate them. You would still have Hezbollah as a perpetual irritant.

Hezbollah is Shiite, the Arabs don't like them either.

Thursday nights 2001: Library for $1 Long Islands, then Aquarium for $1 beers and hotter chicks, back to Library, maybe stop at the shit show of the last days of Bob Populars, then on to Voodoo for some San Marcos coked up strange. Then Jack in the Crack for tacos and a jumbo jack.
I digress.What, no going to Buffalo club at 1:55 to order LIT. Then they lock the doors at 215 and keep serving till 240? Loved that place.

I guess it's an interesting thought experiment. Like did the bene geserit just happen upon what would actually come to pass and create a narrative for it or did they sort of will it into fruition?
She was pretty phenomenal. To each their own I guess.
It was a breeding program by the Gesserit.

I don't think there's anything that will ever change your mind that cracking protester heads is the right move. You and yours sure enjoyed it during the 2020 summer of love.
That was the Summer of the CHOP in Seattle, right? Of the antifa riots right? Yeah it was great fun watching the country immolate. We should all do it again.
2 minutes ago, Brisketexan said:Being that the probable cause affidavits on over 80% of the arrests (so far) look to have been bullshit
Were the charges dropped because they were weak, or because the Travis County DA is a Cunt? If only there were a trail of past actions with which to discern.

Define that, specifically, as it pertains to these events. Because based on what I've seen, it seems hyperbolic.

Good fucking lord the false victimhood from y'all is suffocating. Other people saying speech you don't like on the six pack lawn isn't lawlessness and threats
I'm sure that's what they thought at Columbia. It was very clearly stated what was intended, to "occupy the lawn", to "cancel classes", and to establish "THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA". Doesn't sound lawless or threatening at all. It's not like there wasn't already a playbook or anything.

I love the classic "outside agitators." It's one of the laziest fascist tropes out there, and you trot it out shamelessly. You know why non-students were there? Because our right-wing government thought it was so important that non-students be allowed to use the public spaces of this state - expressly including college campuses - to state their views, THAT THEY PASSED A SPECIAL LAW ENSURING THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO.
They were on campus the same reason any other citizen might be on campus: to state their views and peaceably assemble. What's that you say? Some of them may have been intended to engage in non-peaceful activities? Cool. Then the second that they do something that makes it clear that non-peaceful action is imminent, arrest them. But you don't ever, never ever ever, get to arrest someone for what they MIGHT MAYBE DO. The Bureau of Pre-Crime ain't a thing.
Just harmless fellow citizens enjoying the sights I see. Just bad luck that as a numerical minority, they were a majority of the arrested. Were they wearing "I'm not a student" vests, making it easier to pick them out, or were they the ones most confrontational begging for arrest? Such a conundrum.

Because they weren't planning to fucking camp out on the lawn, you goddamned moron.

1 minute ago, Hank_Hill said:Soooo the cops were justified in assaulting people because of the possibility of tents being set up because of similar protests at universities 1000 miles away???
"assaulting". And yes, when the same umbrella organization's called for "occupations" that resulted in lawless and threatening tent cities at other Universities, yes it was justified. Why do you think the majority of the arrested were outside agitators? Why were they there?

nothing of that sort was happening on Texas's campus yesterday.
Correct. There's a reason that it didn't, why do you think that was?

Dude, there were organizers wearing yellow high-viz vests that were working with the cops before they went aggroid and started teakettling and arresting students and journalists.
There was not an """occupation""" going on or imminent, no matter how much you or abbott repeat it.
You and sack and incredulity and everyone else taking the governor at his word need to actually watch some of the reporting and footage from the event.
It is not as you are so desperately describing.
27 minutes ago, Hank Kingsley said:Would love more information on how they established intent.
They took them at their word, and because of their previous actions at Columbia, USC, etc. Here is the instagram post announcing the "occupation":
"Reclaim our space"
"Class is canceled"
"Occupy the lawn"
"In the footsteps of our comrades at Columbia SJP, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Yale, and countless others across the nation, we will be establishing THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA and demanding our administration divest from death."
Watching what the "solidarity committees" did at Columbia and Yale, perhaps it was prudent to take them at their word. The fact that 26 of the arrestees weren't student, and were outside agitators, should be a clue.

The fact that the law enforcement left en masse at a certain point yesterday and people came back to the same areas and there was no problem showed that this was not the big bogeyman that they claimed. If it was what the Powers That Be claimed it was, law enforcement should not have left, as clearly the protestors would have taken over the entire campus. Yet, that didn’t happen and was never going to happen based on videos before shit went down yesterday.
Assuming the "occupations" were wholly organic, and that the Texas one would actually be in good faith and peaceful, is naive. Now that it's been cleared out once, I think we'll hopefully see any subsequent gatherings to be less rowdy and confrontationally framed.

Sounds like, the University was intentionally stamping down on free speech and violating constitutional rights. Sounds like Hartzell was full of shit and had already decided the outcome before the event took place.
2 hours ago, BeardIP said:Completely and pure speculation, but I could see the thinking and reasoning being an overreaction to the Harvard and Penn presidents who were fired--er, resigned-- due to their not stepping in and allowing things to get out of control. So maybe he's thinking about his job, which is kind of ironic, give that this overreaction the other direction is more likely to cost it than inaction (probably) was.
Maybe he was probably thinking, "crap, I don't want to get paraded in front of congress and embarrased and what a pain in the butt, and who knows what happens if this thing gets out of control and goes all anti-semitic like it did in the Ivies, ugh. better safe than sorry, and I AM in Texas, after all..."
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, I guess.
56 minutes ago, Pato del Muerto said:Hartzell’s letter also appears to ascribe a meaning to the word occupy that is above and beyond the generally accepted meaning of being in the space. And using the term as sometimes to imply “without authority to do so.” Then acting on the implied meaning prior to any actual rules being violated.
“Nobody is allowed to occupy campus” is such a red herring.Looks like they weren't going to allow an "occupation" like what's happening at Columbia, USC, Stanford, etc; and as was promised by the "UT Palestine solidarity committee":
QuoteThe University of Texas (UT) at Austin Palestine Solidarity Committee is planning a classroom walk-out on Wednesday, where students are invited to “occupy” the South Lawn of the campus.
“The footsteps of our comrades at Columbia SJP, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Yale, and countless others across the nation, we will be establishing THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA and demanding our administration divest from death,” states the Instagram post.
All things considered, I think it went well, with no injuries, deaths, or horrible videos for folks to fixate on. There was no occupation, and subsequent tent city full of agitators and professional protesters threatening students and disrupting school, and the protesters got to be arrested/herded/chastised by "fascists", thereby stoking their ego, burnishing their brand, and establishing their cred. Win:Win
This is an interesting article dealing with the predicament Universities find themselves in:

Peak Community was absolutely awesome. I also think season 5-6 were underrated considering the limitations they were working with.
