It'll be interesting to see if there is actually any evidence to prove that these four are guilty as charged.  There's been so much talk and speculation.  I'm glad for all involved that the proceedings are in Galveston County where I believe the case will be presented on the merits as opposed to closer to home where both sides enjoy a lot of sympathy.

Where is the video?

There’s not always video. Sometimes a witnesses’ statements are enough to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. 

If you have 6 people say “I saw a tall dude in a green shirt kicking that one kid,” and then those six witnesses identify a guy in a green shirt in a picture taken the same day at the same location and they all agree “yeah, that’s him. That’s the dude that was doing the kicking.....” well, I’m convinced. 

But I have to admit that I’d be a lot more easily convinced if there was an actual video of the beating. 

I guess the bad news is that while the local community might view a racial slur (alleged) as a valid reason to beat someone half to death, your friends and families’ opinions don’t really matter. It all comes down to how a jury feels about it. 

My OPINION is that these young men will end up convicted (or pleading to) a lesser charge. Then everybody can get on with their lives. 

I hope that the right decision based on the available evidence be reached... whatever that decision turns out to be.

there is one, have a friend that is very close to the boy that got beat up. Im guessing they aren't trying to make it public, I hate to see good players do stupid things and get into trouble. Poor judgement happens all the time, curious to see how it all plays out in court.

I hate to see any young men or women do stupid things and get into trouble. Football players or not.

This article is in negative light and to post it to a sports forum.  Smh.  Non of those kids play on this year's Stang team.  Just seems that you (and your boss ) have a short history of posting and publishing things in a negative light.  I'm just glad that you're man enough to talk about this incident openly...

Because it involves former SETX athletes, yeah, I saw no problem posting it to that forum. Not my website, so I have no issue with it being moved.

And not all news is going to be positive. I know that, you know that. But news is news, whether you like it or not.

don't know who started it don't really care. Sad to say it but there is no denying it and no one is saying names. I don't understand why these young men get into trouble like they do but it happens. Hate to see anyone dig there selves a hole for any reason that it may be. I know these four young men aren't on the rosters this year and no way is it pointing to the WOS Mustangs as a whole. Good to see WOS doing what they do. Nothing but respect for the Stang tradition they come to play every year and have an impeccable reputation and a winning tradition!

Do what you do.  Obviously,  you're reaching to a target audience.  I prefer sports topics.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
