You notice there isn’t any Crosby fans on here running their head. If they were up by 20 we wouldn’t even be able to talk😎

WOW!!! I just left Cal Preps and talk bout some exciting news! I used the infamous "project a matchup" and this is what said LCM 22 Jasper 7 wouldn't that be fantabuously fun!

Just look around. It’s about cancelling what’s been about American. Whether it works or not is not the question. Future consequences don’t enter into their warped mind set. Remember, Yobama said we are X amount of days from changing American. If you love something then why do you want to change it?! I’m sure Yobama is one of the ones pulling Joebama’s strings. When a battery can get a 787 off the ground, then we’ll talk!

At times, yes, in big cases like this. But 99.99% of the time they are false even if not intentionally so. After going to approximately 40,000 crime scenes and speaking with and sometimes interviewing over 100,000 witnesses, I can assure you that there are people that do not want to be seen or known talking to the police. Some will even talk if you can get them alone but they will not voluntarily come in to see you. I was the supervisor on scene of a murder few years ago (a very large crowd had gathered) and I saw a woman off to the side by herself. She made eye contact with me and then with her hand by her side made like a “come here” motion with her index finger. She walked away as if she was leaving the area so I waited and then finally went to where she was hiding. She said I’m not giving you my name and I said I understand. She then said the person you’re looking for is blah blah blah…… That is just a nature of the job. Some people will give you very good information if they think they don’t have to come forward and testify. The woman that talked to me even told me she knew recognized me which is why she was talking to me. She made a comment something like, I know you know the game. She was afraid of the younger officers trying to find a reason to put her in jail to get her name and also terrified of people seeing her talk to the police. So, it does not matter how many tips you get. What matters is that one correct tip. Maybe 15-20 years ago there were some big national search but before the days of instant social media like we have now. I can’t even remember what the guy’s name was or the actual case but he had committed a murder in Florida I think and was on the run. There was information that he might be heading to Mexico and blah blah blah. It was actually even more minute by minute stuff than this case. I had a friend who I trusted called me and said I swear I just saw that guy they’re looking for at a restaurant in Port Arthur. My friend said when I looked at him in the face he turned away and a couple of minutes later he and a girl got up and left. He followed them kind of discreetly outside and saw them leave I think in a white pickup truck and he got a partial license plate but what was interesting was it was from Alabama or Florida or something like that. My reaction was kind of, yeah yeah yeah… But, one of those tips from across the nation is going to be good, we just don’t know which one. So I called the lead investigator, I think for Tampa Bay Police Department but it’s been too long ago. It was a female Sgt and she I had a good time talking with with each other. She asked me if I believe the tip was true. I told her my friend absolutely thought it was true but being that I was about a 15 year (at the time) officer with detective and supervisor experience… uhhhhhh…… do I think he is in PA right now? She got a big laugh out of that also. Yes, on local cases but particularly a national cases like this, you get all kinds of tips. Actually to me this guy Laundrie has a fairly common face when he has about a three or four day beard going. I wouldn’t be surprised if 20,000 people think they saw him and would get on a polygraph to prove it. But with all that, I would bet there are people talking to Chapman that will not call the FBI.

Of course it is the media so you have to take it with a grain of salt but I saw a story that came out yesterday. It said Chapman and “his team” which included dogs, searched some islands that a tip said where Laundrie was supposed to be. Chapman’s conclusion was, there’s no evidence that Laundrie had even been there. I think I saw where he made a comment that he was getting hundreds or maybe even thousands of tips. That means a lot of people and money was wasted on a “tip” that concluded that it had no factual basis. Maybe I will call in a tip that he is hiding in Kokomo in the Keys. Maybe his team can search for a few days before they find out that Kokomo is a fictional location. I will say this, it is easier for the average guy on the street to get a tip and not the police. It does not make you an investigator, some people just don’t want to talk with the police out of fear. Many times when we are investigating something, a witness does not really come forward. Other people however come forward and say hey, that girl with the red blouse standing by herself on the corner witnessed the whole thing. The police then go talk with that girl and sometime it is productive and sometime it is not but the point is, the person that actually knew what happened did not come forward. Word gets out on the street however and those people give tips to the police. A person like Chatman might get a tip direct because people might talk to him or anyone else because they are in fear of talking to the police and being made a witness. That is actually why crime stoppers was created. So there is a chance that Chatman could actually get a tip that would lead to something. By the same reason, a person could walk up to any of us and whisper something like, hey, the guy the police are looking for is buying a six pack of beer at the store across the street. If one of us was to go in and catch the guy, that does not make us a good tracker. It means somebody gave us a good tip. Chatman is hoping that someone gives him a tip and does not give law-enforcement the same tip.

I don't think anyone overlooking them, they just not going to be title contenders or deep playoff teams. They will finish in the top 3 of their district like always but that's not saying much considering the district race will be solely between 3 teams. Drop HJ or Huffman in the district with Silsbee, Lumberton, WOS, LCM, and BC then the talk is totally different then from years before. Neither team is a sure win over any of the top 4A teams in the area, competitive of course, but not one sure win like past years.

It is not technology. It is because there is no one there that is paid to do it. The local news media now is almost nonexistent compared to what it was. That is from regular news to sports to whatever. You can go to any of the local media Facebook pages and see dozens or even hundreds of comments about an incident. Then someone will ask, what about the details, which way did they run, what do they look like, etc. and why wasn’t that information in there? more than likely the reason is, the story was not from a reporter. It was likely from a news release from a police department and sometime copied word for word or it is rewritten saying the same thing. A reporter probably did not show up at the scene although I do see them on rare occasion. I have brought this up before usually in another forum. As a police officer when I used to show up at some kind of major incident (house fire, shooting, robbery, etc.) 30 years ago, once the scene was secured, one of the next steps was to set up an area for the media. They naturally wanted to get close to the scene where they could take pictures or talk to witnesses. I could show up at a large house fire at 2 AM and within about 30 minutes I might be talking to reporters from the Beaumont Enterprise and Port Arthur News and also from the three local television stations. So I would have at least five reporters asking questions and wanting to know details. I think they used to have at least one junior reporter listening to the police and fire scanners at night. I have had a few reporters called me and tell me that they just heard something on the radio and wanted to know if it was worth showing up at the scene. I would not be surprised if any officer that has less than 15 years of experience, has ever talked to or even seen a reporter at a major scene. They surely would not know what I was talking about if I walked up to one and said, where is the media area going to be. I believe it is the same way as sports. At one time the papers had full staffs of reporters for all kinds of new stories. I would not be surprised if newspapers have lost 80% or more of their reporters. I think the technology is what killed it. The news media no longer depends on hiring several persons to drive to locations to find out what is happening. That includes local sports. They have not completely vanished and there are still reporters but they have certainly been cut way back. In my opinion.

Hey when ppl talk down on us in Port Arthur bout them Titans I might send them folks to you. 😤😁

Great game. Of course I’m happy my Dogs won, but I’m not here to talk about my team. I would ask the PNG faithful if there could possibly be a way to install handrails on the visitor side going up the aisles to the seating? Lots of older people being helped up the stairs, and for me, I had foot surgery and have one good foot right now (it will get better) and I use a cane for balance. I can put a little pressure on the left foot, just not full weight. A handrail would help tremendously. I wasn’t about to miss the game, but since my injury, I can truly see how difficult it is for handicapped people. Before you tell me to sit in the handicapped seats on the bottom row, you can’t see the game for all the people/kids traffic. Also, the aisle between “I” and “J” sections goes nowhere. The tunnel underneath is encased with railing forcing people to go to opposite ends of the aisle. It could also present a fire hazard for evacuation purposes. If the seating around the railing was removed, people could exit a lot easier. Thanks for listening. Just trying to help.

All this talk has taken away from the excitement of that last drive for orangefield. They had a 3rd and 28 and completed their only pass of the game for 48 yards. All to have their FRESHMAN kicker kick the game winning field goal from about 30 yards out leaving 8 seconds on the clock. On homecoming night. You can’t make this stuff up, and no matter who you were rooting for last night one thing is true: this is why we are all FANatics of High School football

Some people call it a bye week, but I call it one extra week to talk PNG - Nederland. Let’s get this started.

I agree, but not if this attorney aided his disappearance or tried to cover it in any way. If this guy is not guilty, a good attorney would have suggested he talk with police to help find Gabby.

Wow. And you just dismiss the over 90% non-stop negative (and very hateful) media coverage of Trump. Yeah, let's blame Trump's loss on some mean tweets. Let's not talk about the behavior of the lefties. Who mobilized who?

I was there. I have never seen grown men talk crap to kids before.

Did he? The god loving, family people you talk about know what and who he was talking about.

If this was a suicide, this guy must be the most stupid guy on the face of the Earth. Let’s see, my girlfriend killed herself so I’m going to act like nothing happened, refuse to talk with anyone when they realize that she has not been there for several days and then go in hiding… all while I had nothing to do with it.

Then why hide it for several days, refuse to talk with the police when they finally find out she is missing and then disappear?

Biden will not run in 2024.....No way......I don't think he could remain silent and not talk to the media if he did. If Kamala runs or end up President before 2024, she was at the bottom of the line up when she threw her hat in for President.....She is not and will not be popular..... Biden might as well be Trump's Campaign manager.....I don't think anyone is helping Trump more than Biden for a 2024 run........Gas prices, pricing on EVERYTHING, promised and failed to fix covid, screwed up leaving Afghanistan, left US Citizens behind, the southern border is a mess......that is just rambling off the top of my head......Also Dems will be helpless when the house and senate are taken again by Republicans...... So while there is no guarantee that Trump will win (or run for that matter), politically they are in BAD shape.....they can't even pass bills in the Senate with Kamala as tie breaker.....

This scenario keeps getting repeated repeatedly. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. That said, why do the Dem voters keep drinking the kool-aid? Talk about puppets on a string. [Hidden Content]

I called this a disservice by the news media. Anybody could look at that report and come to the same conclusion that you did. In fact they practically said it by calling them Beaumont transit workers which they are not. The news media somewhat of a joke (notwithstanding some good reporters) and they never explain anything and sometimes I think they don’t know either. I have done many interviews over the years on television, new specials, print media and hundreds of press releases. I can assure you that when you talk to them they sometimes never have a clue but don’t ask anything follow up. There is no problem not understanding a situation with something you’re not familiar with but that should be part of reporting, asking pertinent questions. “What do you mean by that” would go a long way. They just put what they think they heard and it might be totally bogus. I honestly don’t think they outright lie on purpose. There just seems to be very little investigative reporting, just filling up space in the news.

No, there are not dozens or hundreds of such cases a year. There are hundreds of missing people but not when a boyfriend shows up and doesn’t report the person missing for several days, then refuses to talk with the police, etc. In probably 99% of cases the missing person later shows up at home or is later found dead of a suicide or natural causes. This is not a typical case.

Last year was last year! Now let’s talk about BH getting their district championship back👍

Just wouldn't be you if you didn't come on this site with the negative talk about our coverage area teams.

Talk about abuse of power, and hiding the truth. Fox has been using drones on the border 7 months, but showing all the illegal aliens coming across, Biden’s folks shut’em down. Sounds like what happens in China & Russia. Kudos to the TX Dept of Safety. They took reporters up in their helicopter. [Hidden Content]

HF beat EC like 26 14 and Lcm was up on HF 26 -6. All this lump talk lol
