So he chose not to go on and help those babies. Wth is he a cop. Wasn't there multiple cops there. They vowed to serve and protect.

I actually agree with you on something. 

Brook wins 68-56. Impressed with their team, but not their clock management. Up about 14 early fourth and rushed and forced several bad shots that let BU cut it to 6. 

would love to see someone who's smarter than me do some math and determine how much of that drop has been to Trump's immigration policies. it's certainly helped by 1) keeping both criminals and people who are often victimized by criminals out of the country, and 2) removed the same two groups that were already here

I did not go deep into the case, but to me, there is a difference between risking your life and suicide......

They were looking for a scapegoat to an impossible situation. 

 

don't really agree with you on this one.

1) He should've gone in, even if he felt it was suicide. Civilian teachers are making the commitment to do just that through the school marshal program. A veteran police officer should've never hesitated. If he'd died trying to save them, then he would've died doing the right thing.

2) This was far from an impossible situation. the shooter was distracted doing terrible things. if the officer had acted quickly he would've had a chance, probably even a good chance, of stopping the shooter and saving at least some portion of the lives in the classroom with odds far better than "suicide." 

3) he did nothing illegal, and they did use him as a scapegoat. I just happen to believe he's deserved most of the hate that's come to him since, just as the SRO from the Parkland shooting did as well.

Warren beating Kountze.....

In basketball???

kountze is 2-16 this year. Warren is 11-12.

Haven’t rooted this hard for a team that wasn’t my team for a long time. The people’s champ!

I have 5 guns that were all handed down to me from my grandpa over the years. The Benelli Montefeltro 12 gauge Ducks Unlimited special edition is easily my favorite. Its too pretty to take out in the marshes though so it hasn't seen any "real" shooting lol. Not sure of the manufacture date off the top of my head.

yeah, i'll buy that one back from you. give you twice what the program is offering

On a separate note is HF any good this year? I know their coach left to go to Porter. 

they're not bad. played a tough schedule so far. they're 10-16 right now, I believe, and 10 of those losses came to 5A/6A schools. A little down from the last few years, but like AAW said, should end up 3rd or 4th.

Pretty amazing to me that there is clear video of the officer being hit by the car, clear precedent and case law showing why the officer was justified in the shooting, commentary from almost every legal expert in the country saying he was justified, etc... And yet somehow half the country (including politicians and law enforcement higher ups) is still screaming that this is murder.

Just asking since 5/6 of their losses since football players got back were too 5a/6a teams.

not bad teams, for the most part. but the only schools that get leeway with their losses in the rankings are the dallas and houston area schools (and silsbee, for several years) who are playing top-10 6A-5A teams throughout their pre-district schedule.

I am watching the game. HJ is legitimately fouling.

Oh, I know. Just thought it was funny. Looked like Livingston got called for more most of the rest of the game 

I fell asleep reading these updates. Raiders playing keep away? 

Tied at 14 after one. Hawks called for 5 fouls in the 1st, Livingston 1 😀

Any chance BC gets moved back into the rankings?

with a 14-9 record it's going to be kinda tough. if they sweep district they may have a shot in some of the last rankings of the year.

Went with current DC and associate AD.

you know I'm rooting for them, but HF seems really high at #6 with their 10-16 record and lack of quality wins. If it were my list, I'd probably swap the Huffman team ranked at #10 at 14-7 with close losses last week to your #1 and #4 teams with the horns at #6.

I wasn't at nor did I watch the game.  But.. sometimes there can be vastly different foul counts based on extreme differences in style of play.  Also, when a team is a "behind" situation late in a game, they will amass more fouls to intentionally force free throws.  Is it possible that this, or a combination of this was going on?

Simply stating foul count differences doesn't always prove evidence of bad officiating.  Even though it should be understood that officiating has gotten poorer over the years, across the board, for several reasons.  

based on the score updates there would've been minimal (if any) intentional fouling at the end of the game by either team.

The foul count was 5-26.    Just Bad 

Pretty wild 

Multiple fatal car accidents, a fatal plane crash, a man struck and killed by a train, a man electrocuted, a man committing suicide in a church parking lot after a police chase, and a kidnapping/shooting all in the course of 5 days. What the hell is going on in setx?

I had a break open .410 that belonged to my grandfather and then father. My father would hunt with it probably around 1935 during the Depression.

 I loaned it to my cousin so that he hunt rabbits. His father was an alcoholic and got drunk and traded it for a bottle of whiskey. It would probably by about 100 years old by now. 

I might’ve gotten in a fist fight over that. But maybe not if I was a cop.

Now that we’ve gotten past our first gun, I’ll ask you and everyone else what’s their favorite gun. It’s hard, I know, because we like them all, but there is still a favorite. Mine is my S&W 327 TRR8 Performance Center. I’ll pass it in to my son when I leave…..and the rest.

that's a tough one, but probably one of my Tikka .270s. or maybe the AR-10 that I spent way too much money building
