I spent many years managing big box stores. When I left we could confront shoplifters in store and ask them how they would like to pay for the item in their pants/purse. If they ignored us and walked out, we could not physically restrain them.,,,, I was having a bad day one evening and a guy ran from the electronics department of Service Merchandise with a bag full of radios and small things. It may have been about $500.00 worth of stuff. I decided to give chase (to this day I have o idea what I would have done had he stopped LOL)....I chased him to the end of the parking lot and he ran across the street toward some woods. As soon as I turned around a guy in a big truck asked if he was a shoplifter. I told him yes and he said I'll be right back. About 20 minutes later he showed back up with the bag......He gave me his card, he was a Company A Texas Ranger. He claimed he never got out of his truck......

I was surprised he was actually charged

I get this is a discussions page, but this is about the biggest waste of time in any one thread I have ever seen. This sad part is there is no discussion. It is rants from each side trying to one up the other. That NEVER works......it usually just makes a few people mad enough to break the rules and receive a time out.......it is almost like that is what the OP wanted..........

I watched most of the trial. There were many mistakes. I'm not sure enough to change election but enough to cause concern. My guess is the Judge does not rule in favor of Lake.

Cut it with the name calling please. Discussions CAN be accomplished without name calling......

Thanks for the info. So much bad advice going around

Thanks TVC….those things are interesting….a warning shot might save a life…..but may out you in jail…..like brandishing a weapon.

Is that legal in Texas?

Don't be afraid to change if something is not working. I was fortunate (and old enough) to get to watch the undefeated 1980's TJ Yellow Jackets make it to the State Championship and watch a devastating loss to Odessa....... Play harder than you have every played and do it for all 4 quarters! GO PNG!!!!!

I heard it was around 150K in damages. Would that justify more than probation?

It will be served only if he looses the appeal...... Tonight he will be doing his regular podcast.....you should listen in

14-41 Lumberton

I’m watching 18 Thirteen or Kevin Steele….on Facebook.

We got to work on that

We gonna be ok

Lumberton QB fumble, run in TD Vidor

I would say kinda the same. The outrage of an adult Man fooling around with a 12 year old girl is much different than an adult woman fooling around with a 12 year old boy. Her Facebook is still up (yea, I as curious) and apparently she has a Son about that same age......NOT a good look.

Those were all made up or democratic talking points

On that same FB thread I sarcastically said the cop should of shot the manchette out of his hand or shot his thumbs off.......A few liked it and one commented thinking I was serious.......THAT is the state of our nation....lol

And we still get the comments they should of wounded him........He was frail...... I know plenty of 60 year old's that are FAR from frail....

That quote makes me so mad......

Depends........If he is dishonest and lied about paying for the abortion, is it all that shocking that a Man would lie about relationships with women? If we had to exclude men who cheated on their wives or lied to their girlfriends, how big a pool do you think we would have? I will admit that dang near EVERY bad decision I have made has usually been around a woman or alcohol or BOTH!

Did he admit to it? Last I heard a woman with no name and a card with possibly his signature. Even so, I don't think this will effect him. People vote on who represents what they would vote, you know, a representative. I would not vote for Beto for Governor if he walked on water and never sinned in his life......if he was for red flag laws and banning semi automatic rifles....

Question, if he shot at officer and went inside, than came back out with gun in hand, but maybe not pointed at officer (from what I read and assumed from article), is the officer justified in shooting him since he previously shot at him? My thoughts would be I'm not waiting on you to shoot at me again..

This is really no different than what hospitals around here do with patients who come in pregnant with no insurance. If they have time they pay an ambulance to ship them to Galveston to the charity hospital. Cheaper for the hospital to pay an ambulance bill than to deliver the baby.
