If any district can be trusted to stay ahead of the growth and be good stewards, it's BH. The planning that has gone into the new campuses and sustaining adequate space when experiencing exploding growth, has been a marvel to watch. I work over here and have heard from residents that BH has only passed one bond in the history of the district? Anyone know if that is true? If so, wow is all I can say. I'm also interested to see if Enterprise or any of the other local operators is contributing to the project. I know that happens quite a bit and is a major benefit for BHISD.

And now wants to increase taxes on the rich to bail them out. Democrats always want someone else to pay for their mistakes, yet somehow convince the low information crowd to keep voting for them.

Anyone accused of election fraud, and I mean ALL involved, should be charged with treason, for which the penalty used to be death.

It’s the radical left that are getting people killed, conservatives are simply enforcing laws on the books. It’s a simple solution, stay out of law enforcement’s way.

Unbelievable…..but not surprised!

It is called staying ahead of the growth and being good stewards of the tax payers money.

Look, we knew the brain dead moron JoeBama did not get 82 million votes. It's only a matter of time before all the evidence of fraud comes out!

I know there’s no expectation of privacy in public. But, I can see some of this being abused. This reminds me of The Patriot Act. “The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies that federal agents are tapping in their deportation campaign.” [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Exactly. That’s what LPISD does. Every 9 years like clockwork.

I remember it well. It was ignored from Governor Kemp on down. I hope all involved go to prison!

True! It's all about the cause! As long as it's someone else dying, that is!!

The tolerant left…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [Hidden Content]

Surprised at that score

That is just smart business..... Schools should always piggyback Bonds so the tax rate stays constant, but the school is always getting upgraded. Getting voters to "continue" the current tax rate is ALWAYS easier than getting them to raise the rate.

I heard there were some ejections in the Tarkington/Shepherd game. Tarkington's #21 dad was one of them. I guess the season isn't going where he thought it would.

I remember it well and made a few social media posts about it. It also showed that Qualified Immunity didn’t stop the police officer from a 60 prison sentence for falsifying a probable cause affidavit. Obviously that long sentence was not for perjury but that the perjury led to a Felony Murder charge.

In both cases I believe that they are open to being charged in a crime. That is to say that they have no Qualified Immunity that protects them from criminal prosecution (as in all cases). Both cases resulted in intentionally or knowingly killing a person (Texas culpable mental states) so Murder unless under self defense which is the issue. Everyone knows who did it and the results. The only real question in my opinion is whether there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that it was clearly not a case of self defense. Without knowing Minnesota or federal laws on self defense, I will rely on Texas law only as a similar situation. The shooting of Good in my opinion clearly has reasonable doubt that it was not Murder. I don’t think the agent had the culpable mental state (as I have seen claimed numerous times) of, I know that I am not in danger but here’s a chance to take out a protester. If this incident happened locally, I would expect a No Bill from the grand jury. I have no clear opinion on Pretti but I lean toward the same results but not as clear. In Good the agent was alone and we could see what happened for the most part. In Pretti at the speed in which it happened and agents (possibly including the shooter) yelling gun and the continued struggle, I believe that it would take some definitive information that the agent knew that no one was in danger and merely chose to take out a demonstrator. Unlike Good, we have no clear video of what happened in the scrum as the one video called it. As you know that the burden is always on the government to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Only as an anecdote, I was the supervisor on scene of a homicide where two guys confronted each other outside of a club about a block away from the entrance. One guy pulled a gun and fired it, possibly to scare the other guy away. It worked and the other guy left. However….. He walked about a block away in the other direction, got a pistol out of his car, came back and confronted the guy who fired the shot and then shot and killed him. I said at the scene that it was clearly Murder because it wasn’t a stand your ground case in my opinion. The suspect had left the scene and was out of danger since the guy who fired the shot didn’t follow him. He came back to the scene, now armed, to continue the argument and ended up killing the other guy. The DA did not get an indictment from the grand jury. Obviously by law it’s the grand jury‘s opinion and not the DA’s but it was clearly a Murder under Texas law (intentionally or knowingly took another person‘s life) but with self defense as a defense to prosecution. Obviously the DA could likely have pushed for an indictment and let a trial jury make the call (a principle which I do not believe in) but apparently there was a reasonable doubt in the opinion of the DA that they could not overcome in front of a jury. It does not matter if the guy was guilty. What matters is the proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If a jury is 90% sure that a crime was committed, that to me is not guilty. It is the same standard everywhere. The elements might change depending on jurisdiction. It is the same in the Pretti case for now. Is there body cameras which show a clear picture of what happened and the agent knew that no one was in danger? That’s possible but I believe that is what it would take to bring criminal charges. So Good in my opinion should be a No Bill unless there’s evidence that hasn’t been made public which is always possible. Pretti is in limbo but that in my opinion means no case unless there is evidence that hasn’t been made public. The other agent grabbing Pretti’s pistol before the shots were fired will probably have no bearing unless it can be shown that the agent shooting knew that the danger had been removed and had time to respond. More in a layman’s terms, if an issue is debatable then there is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If it is beyond debate or the evidence clearly shows that there was no reasonable belief of possible serious bodily injury or death, it should be brought to trial. Notwithstanding that a defense will always claim there is a reasonable doubt. Do you think there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, in what is now public information, that the agent knew that there was no threat under split second decision making under the Supreme Court ruling in Graham v. Connor?

Homan's full press conference with questions & answers. He also mentions the networks that are organizing people against law enforcement have justice coming. I’d believe him if I were them. He doesn’t impress me as a bluffer. About 35 minutes. But, a good listen. [Hidden Content]

Deport all illegals. Report anyone suspected of being an illegal in your neighborhood or job to 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423), the official 24/7 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tip Line - it is now active.

I am usually humored on social media on how many people believe that Qualified Immunity protects an officer/agent from being charged in a crime.
