    Great drive by Bama right before half. Do they Texans go with Bryce Young or Will Anderson? Young is great, but he’s small

  5. A Simple “Tongue in cheek” comment got attack. So wokism raises its ugly head in SETX. No wonder comedy is a dying art form. I won’t go into a rebuttal, for some fellow posters replied already. I will be happy to point out that the self-righteous folks who condemned the Locked thread never bothered to post a thread with the appropriate wishes. Well my, my, my, why am I not surprised.

  7. If this had been a conservative justice that made this remark, these liberals would absolutely lose their minds. And the MSM would be all over it. More of the same from the libs, no big deal.

    Me too, like where they found his DNA and how they matched it in Pennsylvania. Stuff like that. Also motive.

    I think they try to follow up on each, usually by a task force or group of investigators assigned to the incident. It is not always that many tips however even when there are that many tips. It isn’t like thousands of entirely different clues but mostly a repeating of clues. For example 800 people might report seeing a vehicle in that area and give similar descriptions. Like, we got an X number of tips that a small SUV was seen leaving the parking lot. Those tips collectively show: Year model: 2012-2019 or unknown Color: Green, blue, aqua, turquoise or unknown but medium to dark. Brand: Toyota, Hyundai, Honda or unknown. And so on. That matters because if someone turns in a bright yellow, 1998 Ford Explorer, it probably isn’t going to be a suspect vehicle. BUT…. you still keep the tip just in case. Maybe that was the one person that saw a different vehicle and I could break the case open. Another quick example is if 175 people gave the same name and/or description of a possible suspect. Like, a guy named Such And Such started hanging out with that group a couple of months ago and he seemed strange. But let’s say that a couple of those “same” tips gave additional information like, he had made claims of having fantasies about being a serial killer. Like with the vehicle, a very similar set of tips keep popping up. So with just the vehicle and suspect tips (none of which may be true) we have almost 1,000 tips of a maybe strange guy (likely with a physical description) possibly named Such And Such and a vehicle that may not be linked to him that is a midsize to small SUV, in a year model in the mid to late 2000s and having a green, blue or similar color. So do 1000 different investigators need to be assigned to that? No. I have been involved in a couple of those types of investigations on a smaller scale. I actually called a tip line from another state to give a tip (reported to me) about a national story (kind of like this) that was all over the news prior to today’s social media. The Internet was big but not like it is today. I spoke to a female sergeant (if I remember correctly) and she asked if I thought the tip was valid. I told her that the tip was from a person that I trusted and I absolutely thought that the person thought it was legitimate. We kind got a laugh out of that, cop to cop. She made a comment like, yeah I know what you mean. So, does each and every one get addressed? Yes and no. They probably get addressed by compiling them like I showed. Now that they have arrested a suspect, we could have a good chance of finding out that if the tips were valid as in, a few may have turned out to be correct. A person leaving a tip probably doesn’t know anything about the crime. They are just passing on potential leads. Just like the tip I called in, the person saw a vehicle and a description of two people but the tip was of an out of state license plate with either partial or complete numbers (getting too many years ago to remember). Was it actually the suspects? Did it help? Did it match similar information? I haven’t gotten a clue but that is sometimes what breaks a case. You can bet it was logged with the rest of the tips. So let’s play what if. What if the news story that I was involved in (from several states away) by passing on a tip was the only one from this area of Texas and with the license plate description? Does that make it invalid? Certainly not. A couple of hundred tips might’ve come in about another vehicle and they could’ve all been wrong although similar and the one I called in might have been completely accurate. So again, I think that the thousands of tips would be cataloged and an attempt made to follow up, depending on time. Of course, they could have locked on this guy very early and it just took this long to compile the case. That was kind of the point I wanted to make when this thread first started. Just because you don’t hear it on the news does not mean that it does not exist. To say the police have no clues is entirely understandable but likely not correct. I thought that I read in reference to this arrest that they had DNA material from the crime scene. That alone would be a significant clue, especially with computer searches.

  14. Sometimes it’s bad luck, occasionally a mental defect or just a little misfortune… but it generally comes down to bad choices. I mean… those guys had to squander their “privilege” somehow. When I see kids that are impoverished, I usually only see one parent. When I see homeless people, I see drug/alcohol use that turned into an addiction. When I see someone who can’t earn enough to support their family, I typically see someone who didn’t finish free public schooling… when I see people who aren’t employable because of prior felonies, I recognize poor life choices that put them in that position. I hate seeing kids in bad spots, but it’s almost always the result of bad choices on the part of their parents. Got a repossession, eviction, outstanding hot checks, no savings, and now you can’t get anybody to finance a house or car to you? Once again… poor choices in almost all cases. I can freely admit that most of the time when “my” people are in a bind, it’s of their own doing… but your argument seems to be that when a black person finds themselves in a similar predicament, it wasn’t bad choices but rather a result of slavery, oppression, systemic racism, etc… and reparations are the solution. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a person of color or a liberal acknowledge that a black person’s actions contributed at all to the realities of their life. Not even once.

  15. Not sure I'm arguing with you, more like not wasting time... I have a wife and a child I know what a woman is, I don't pay much attention to that nonsense.. I see you do though, as many times as you ask for clarification, seems you may be the confused one... enough wasted time here

  22. You’re argument is that the reason for poverty and lack of personal wealth in the black community is systemic racism and oppression… that’s why black people should receive reparations. But there are more white people living in poverty than black people, according to you (and I agree). So my question is this… if all black poverty is a direct result of systemic racism and oppression as you believe… what causes white people to live in poverty? It obviously wasn’t racism or oppression, yet they’re broke… why do you think that is?

    From a CNN article: “The arrest comes a day after police said they have received about 20,000 tips through more than 9,025 emails, 4,575 phone calls, iand 6,050 digital media submissions, while having conducted over 300 interviews”. [Hidden Content] Apparently they got DNA and other evidence from the scene that matched the suspect.
