It would of been "unarmed black male".......
But apparently if you are white, it does not matter if you are unarmed......

I've got to be really careful with what I put on social media, but this is a point I feel strongly, but bite my tongue on. Had the roles been reversed, with Metcalf stabbing Anthony under the exact same circumstances, the same people demanding justice for Anthony now would instead be demanding justice for... Anthony. 

Lol, I lost count. He can’t post without revealing who he is.

i made it clear that any future accounts will be banned the second it's obvious it's him. this was about his 6th account that's been banned.

Nope, I revoked his visa.

There’s not enough time for me to write everything down that I have learned from my grandfather.  His life in a very small nutshell….Grew up with no father….started helping out with what jobs an 8 year could do and then by 11 he was working as much as he could. Put himself thru Lamar…when on to become one of the top guys for gulf oil. Went over to Korea and oversaw from “ground up” building of a refinery.  Earned a black belt while time spent there. Retired from gulf when chevron took over…then later went back to work for chevron for a short time.  Master carpenter as well, but could do it all from plumbing and electrical. Him and my Dad built the two story house I grew up in with their own two hands as well as a two story barn. 
He learned to depend on himself and his God giving ability no matter the circumstances from an early age….the silent generation was produced by the greatest generation and to me there is not much difference.  
My great grandfather on my dad s side was in WW1. Lived to be 94…him and my great grandmother got married at 15 and 16 and went on to have 14 kids. We went to there house a many Sundays  growing up and were able to listen to his life stories.  
i didn’t live thru the Great Depression obviously but I was able to see the people it produced these people were in and around my life quite often not just holidays like some people.  We took the time to sit still and listen to what they had to say and learn from them.  
 
there a a very small percentage of those people left and even a smaller % of those type of people produced in this day in age.

like you said I absorbed as much as I could….most of it stuck and some didn’t.

I was raised on the farm (Dalhart, TX) in the early 60's. Dad just went to his next great adventure in 2023 at 87. As a leased family farm of 600 acres of maize & onions, dad, mom & my brother worked our butts off from sun up to sun down with school in between. I was driving a combine and helping with irrigation piping at 7. We would trade future crops for groceries & other needs at the COOP, and the big trip/adventure was to the S&H Green Stamp store. Trade in those stamps!
Dad learned to fly crop dusting, taught me, & I learned how to drive just about anything there is to drive & work on them early. Nowadays, I'd have to be a plumber with an IT degree to work on my truck. But, I can still work on my motorcycle at least. Although, sometimes my back doesn't always cooperate. 😀

My father was raised on a house boat and his father trapped and shrimped for a living in Louisiana. HE was born in 1930. He drove an ice truck and delivered ice to homes that had "ice boxes" - He learned to work on motors watching his Dad, and at 16 he was working in an outboard motor shop rebuilding outboards. He believed in zero waste - when he passed in 2020, I had to clean out his garage. Every thing I picked up was a part of my childhood. He built me a mustang in the 80's and he still had parts to it. He took off the headlights and blinkers on an old Yamaha motorcycle he gave me at 6 yo (that would be in 1971) and I found them on a shelf in a box.....and I could hear him tell me, if I ever build me a motorcycle, I could use those......
While I didn't absorb all his traits, I absorbed a bunch....lol

Bless your heart, just remember, it’s not important how small the gift, it’s the thought that counts.

It has truly been a pleasure officiating for Coach Sigler over the years. His professionalism and integrity in the game of high school basketball were evident every time his team stepped on the court. What set him apart was not just his knowledge of the game, but the respect he consistently showed to officials—even in moments where a call was questionable, he never tried to embarrass or demean. He addressed concerns with composure and always maintained the standard of respect.
 
Coach Sigler also went above and beyond by allowing me to come speak to his team on multiple occasions, giving insight on officiating and teaching the do’s and don’ts from a referee’s perspective. That openness to educate and bridge the gap between coaches, players, and officials is a rare and appreciated quality.
 
Wishing Coach Sigler a happy and well-deserved retirement. Your legacy of leadership, character, and respect will continue to influence the game and those who play it for years to come.

Silsbee head coach Joe Sigler will be retiring at the end of this school year.
Silsbee is now open.
 
I will post my thoughts and some stats later.
Going to miss Joe very much. Silsbee will miss him very much.

How does the best team in the state lose two district games?

This. Around 40% of the country isn’t affected by market volatility investments. They don’t participate because they are barely getting by as it is. Fixed income folks—or those living on their own savings right now—are getting hit. Those on medication (typically older, but I’ve read reports that state 70% of Americans of all ages are on at least one prescription) will get an unexpected hit, and insurance costs will drastically rise if this continues very long.
As a free trader, that would be my preference. I’ll settle for fair trade. I understand what is being attempted. But, I wish the tax cuts had come first.
The blame between D’s, R’s, MAGA’s, Progessives is really silly. We’ve had bad policies from all sides for a long time.
The U.S. began its own problem when we moved away from making stuff to simply making money from money. As a big Mike Rowe fan (and a retired engineering person), I wish we would again put more emphasis on crafts, skills, & trades vs. many of the worthless degrees kids are being suckered into now.
This emphasis would help our security, economy, and individual balance sheets all the way around. We need doers. Offshoring nor AI can take away jobs that require technical support at location.
JMHO

🤣🤣🤣
How far will people go to try and justify crimes?
Obviously you know this but…..
Rittenhouse twice tried to run away and only shot when corned or attacked with deadly weapons. When did the suspect in this case run away and was cornered?

the misinformation is appalling. The defense of his behavior is appalling. the complete fabrication of what happened to justify that defense is most appalling. A kid murdered another kid for telling him to leave, and possibly grabbing him by the shoulders. Many on the internet blame the victim. It's insane.

The suspect has hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from people supporting his innocence. Pitiful. What would happen if the races were switched. There ya go! Race shouldn’t enter into this, but it always does.
