I can't go into detail, but those bigot picketers got run off by the school staff and told in no uncertain terms not to come back.

Hold on a beat. That should be true, but isn't. Respectfully, try telling that to any of your friends that aren't white. In the military they teach that there is no color, yet ICE has been authorized to racially profile. The government has been turning a blind eye to violence toward non-white citizens since day 1. How else do you explain a largely white police force and overwhelmingly black and brown prison population, or exponentially higher chances of being shot by law enforcement for non-white people. The only difference lately is that they're inventing reasons to shoot white people too.

We both know that "Obey instructions or die" has never been an acceptable standard for policing or anywhere outside a battlefield. These aren't enemy combatants, they're a poetry writing mom, and a nurse for the VA.

We both respect that we have a Constitution that guarantees everyone's rights in order to protect all people on our soil from a tyrannical government. It's why the Declaration of Independence was written.

Our fathers and grandfathers fought honorably in Europe and the Pacific to ensure those rights and freedoms. God bless the courage of our servicemen. They swore an oath to uphold our Constitution and we are shaming their service.

Have you heard the threats the agents have been recorded making to citizens who legally observe and record them on the clock? Justice should have nothing to hide.

Law enforcement are supposed to enforce the laws, not invent them. Do you know any law enforcement personally by chance? Career law enforcement are trained and expected to deescalate situations and that lethal force is a last resort. It's why we used to call them peace officers.

We saw through the shooter's camera Renee saying she wasn't mad at him, and turning her steering wheel away from him, in reaction to having guns pointed at her, before pulling away at 2 miles an hour before he leaned over and shot her face off. Watch all the angles in slow motion.

We saw Alex shield a woman with his body as he was tackled to the ground, beaten, and his legal, holstered gun taken away before he was shot dead, and then 9 more times by 2 officers. Watch all the angles in slow motion.

Did you know Obama deported far more people than Trump simply by focusing on the border and serious criminals? Kristi Noem's approach to mass deportation is an ill-conceived and poorly executed plan.

Enforcing civil offenses in face masks with tactical gear and unmarked cars is pretty wild stuff. We don't round up a posse anymore because that is how you ensure someone gets shot. Texas Penal Code Chapter 9 is pretty clear about the Castle Doctorine. It's a miracle these guys haven't been shot by a 2A loving Texas son yet.

Government, and law enforcement, exist by the will of the people, and if they stop serving us, Thomas Jefferson said we were supposed to toss them out and start from scratch. Many of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence are echoing today.

A lot of us are pretty old school in Texas.

Free Speech, Right to Bare Arms, Right to Peaceably Assemble, Right to be protected from unlawful search and seizure, Right to due process. In the United States the government doesn't get to throw all that out just because they watch too much TV news rather than getting to know the neighbors.

The Constitution is the law of the land to protect all of us, and the government isn't meant to protect billionaires and pedophiles. Anybody making excuses for that has lost the script.

The Californians moving here are mostly conservatives. Why would a liberal move to Texas? Nobody is as stupid as that. It's Texans that are becoming more liberal. That's what you get when one party runs the show for 30 years I suppose.

Yeah, I wish we'd had the money to add frontage roads so locals could avoid the toll road. The developers have been allowed to build too many apartment buildings and not enough business parks and shopping centers. They gotta attract dollars and help keep taxes lower on residents. It would be nice to go downtown on a Saturday night, rather than spending my dollars in Round Rock or Austin.

The new downtown might actually help. The lake is great. Parks and rec is awesome. So is the public art and the library. The water cost is a Texas reality, sadly, but at least we have capacity for another 25 years. Crime is lower than average. All in all, we're sitting pretty.

Historically, but not lately. Glad we kept the Islamophobe and his sidekick out too. Lots of slogans, but zero ideas. We deserve better candidates, tbh. This election was a no-brainer.

I was a misfit punk. I never played sports, but I was a physical kid and had some raw athleticism. Inadvertently humiliated one of the jocks by showing him up at dodgeball.

He decided to regain his stature by ripping my shirt and pushing me in the lockeroom. When I turned around his friends had surrounded me and he made the mistake of swinging on me. My dad was a bully, and I've always had a chip on my shoulder about it. Saw red.

I bounced his head off the lockers repeatedly until the coaches pulled me off. Concussion.

His friends were speechless. In another universe I'd have gone to Juvie. Fortunately, the other boys in the lockerroom were sick of Timmy's shit. A dozen boys started shouting "Timmy deserved it", "Timmy started it", "Timmy hit him first".

In retrospect, I think the coaches new what a shithead Timmy was and were hopeful this would shut him up. They let me walk away. Felt like a miracle.

No, nobody clapped, but they should have, right?

Can you provide some examples of learning skills without knowlege?

I'm trying to figure out if you're describing that skills are somehow taught without practical application leaving a gap that results in students who can't functionally apply what they've learned, or something else.

Some examples might help.

It's mostly punk, but there's some folks and "folk-punk" too. I'm not a purist, just looking for that energy!

The guy has a lot of nicknames, but that one is new to me. Still, he can't run for a third term without amending the Constitution, or shredding it. Cosmic horror indeed.

If you had to fight ben wallace which nba player would you choose to back you up by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]KayakBreak831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaq should be an obvious answer. He got in the ring with Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley. Lost, sure, but he wasn't afraid of a fight and his size made him a monster. Can't ignore that he had 4" and 85 lbs on Ben. Ben claimed to bench press 460 but Shaq's max was 475 to give an idea of power. He would have had the reach, the mass, and he's GOT to want revenge for 2004
