The Good Ole Days
WOSdrummer99 and one other reacted to thetragichippy for a topic
When I was young the almost weekly visit to Hi/Lo Auto parts with my Dad was always fun. My Dad would bring in a part, and the sales clerk would almost guess what it came off of. I remember bringing in bolts, belts and hoses and the clerk would walk in the back and try and match parts. As I look back, it was simply excellent customer service. The other benefit of going as a kid was to check out the Hot Rods that most of he employees drove to work or possibly worked on during their breaks,,,,,lol Now, The reason for my post. I have an old homemade boat trailer with older style leaf springs. Where they mount to the trailer requires a rubber bushing. It's a very simple bushing....All three auto parts stores had no clue what is was when I put it on the counter. Once I explained it was off a homemade trailer and what is was, one clerk looked me dead in the eyes and asked me for the model and year of my trailer....... So I guess I'm old enough to remember when people that worked in auto parts stores actually knew auto parts. If you are wondering why brick and mortar is a dying sales model, I found everything I needed online with free shipping, I just didn't want to wait the 2 days.......2 points -

Mexican Illegal Alien Wanted for Murder of Five Hondurans Deported 3 Times!
LumRaiderFan and one other reacted to baddog for a topic
Haven’t heard anything from the gun control crowd. Probably because they would have to deal with this being an illegal, which is more important than gun control……let as many in as possible. Funny how that works, huh? Like the transgendered mass murderer was the victim. You liberals are a bunch of weirdos. I can’t imagine anyone thinking like that. No one!2 points -

Go to a firearms counter at a big box sporting goods store and listen. 🤣 I have heard things that are completely wrong. I am not talking like an opinion like brand A is better than B. I am talking about wrong. Even a young person at a specialty counter was expected to have some basic knowledge of the product. Not so much any more. I think I have told this story before, but a few years ago I was at Subway sandwich with my partner at work. He ordered a 6 inch sandwich and I ordered a 12 inch sandwich. The conversation went like this: I would like a 12 inch on white bread. We don’t have that. OK give me a 12 inch wheat. We don’t have that. OK, what do you have? We have white, wheat, jalapeño cheese… OK, give me the 12 inch white. We don’t have that. Sir, all we have is 6 inch and foot long sandwiches. We don’t have 12 inch bread. My mistake, give me the foot-long white.1 point -

Yes, in fact (great question) warrants have nothing to do with charges being filed. Maybe (likely?) a misunderstood part(s) of law. Accusations, warrants, filing charges, indictments, court complaints, etc., are or can all be different. They are sometimes used interchangeably in discussions when technically they are related as involving criminal justice but one may have nothing to do with the other… other than being in criminal justice. If anyone is interested….1 point -

Wasn’t meant to be a jab. I’m old. KJ is a kid to me too. But point taken. It wasn’t at all meant to be a derogatory statement. I would imagine Remi will make a fine coach. Always been impressed with him, his dad, and his brothers.1 point -

9 people shot in Jasper

From the law… Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person: (1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse; This is misdemeanor assault or assault with an injury (bruise, pain, etc.). Notice that it only requires to prove the injury was caused by being reckless. Next is Aggravated Assault….. Sec. 22.02. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person commits assault as defined in Sec. 22.01 and the person: (1) causes serious bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse; or (2) uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault. First a person must commit an Assault as defined in 22.01 which is to intentionally or knowingly OR recklessly causing injury. Then it becomes aggravated by either causing serious bodily injury OR using a deadly weapon. A firearm by Texas law is the only item specifically listed as a deadly weapon. Other things “could be”, depending on how used, which requires proof. A firearm requires no proof and just is a deadly weapon. "Deadly weapon" means: (A) a firearm or anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or serious bodily injury;1 point -

I am sure but it will be likely concurrent. And a note on the law… just because it may (probably) come up later in the media. Aggravated Assault is a better charge than Attempted Murder. Things like Att. Murder or Manslaughter sound worse but Aggravated Assault is way easier to prove for the same penalty. An example is Attempted Murder carries a 20 year maximum sentence (2nd degree felony) and Aggravated Assault carries a 20 year maximum sentence (2nd degree felony). In Attempted Murder the state has to prove that the defendant’s intent was to kill the injured victim. So what if the victim was a bystander? Maybe the shooter/defendant was shooting at A and accidentally hit B. How do you prove intent to kill B when it was an accident remembering that B was a bystander. Aggravated Assault only requires the state to show that the defendant “recklessly” injured victim B. So would the DA rather try to prove “intent” which is not only way more difficult, it might actually be true that the defendant did not want to injury victim B or would the DA rather try to prove that B was recklessly injured, meaning an accident, but caused by someone acting recklessly? Remember that both are 2nd degree felonies with a 20 year maximum. I could just about guarantee that they will be charged with aggravated assault for the victims who did not die and Facebook will explode with comments about how stupid the DA is and the police don’t have to investigate because it should be Attempted Murder!!! No, it should be Aggravated Assault.1 point -
BUNA NEW COACH
Tyler Dixson reacted to TxHoops for a topic
Ok, ok. You did at least do some research to get the correct records. I still suspect you’ve seen zero of their games over the past two years or seen KJ coach a single game. I wouldn’t expect you to, it’s 2A girls basketball. Not like it’s televised. But from what it sounds like, it came down to a couple of guys that actually wanted the job and your administration hired the more experienced. I’m sure they wish they had more interest in the job. And speaking of the boys job, I wonder how much interest they would have gotten there too. You see, when the local “experts” run off a historically GREAT (not just good) coach, word tends to get around and the more qualified guys (and gals) may shy away. So KJ could be the best women’s coach since Hyden there and I suppose it’s possible your comrades still won’t be satisfied. Tough gig over there.1 point -
Jerry Springer - Dead at 79
thetragichippy reacted to tvc184 for a topic
I was off duty and on the way home but in uniform (in my personal vehicle) about 10 years ago. I stopped a guy parked in a handicap parking spot at a pharmacy where I had stopped to pick up a prescription. He had no license plate or hang tag and admitted to not being handicapped. His wife was with him. I hardly made any public contacts on traffic stop but that is maybe a pet peeve. Not unusual in this kind of a situation, he could’ve parked 10 feet away in a regular parking spot and half the parking lot was empty. Since I was off duty and did not have a ticket book, I contacted the dispatcher by walkie-talkie and asked for a patrol unit to check by with me. A lieutenant showed up (actually my lieutenant and I was one of his sergeants) since he was on the way home also but he had a take home patrol unit, so had his ticket book. So the lieutenant agreed with the citation and begin writing it. As a routine, the guy was checked for warrants. Oops! He had a couple of traffic tickets that we that he had not paid and warrants for his arrest. So he started boohooing and his wife was crying. Geez…. I know that you don’t want to go to jail but you have warrants so no option but it’s only for traffic citations. What does this have to do with Jerry Springer? All the crying was because they were supposed to catch a flight the next morning (in about 14 hours) to NYC to be on the Jerry Springer Show. I said just pay for the warrants. Nope… they had no money. These folks from the country (like a heavy east Texas accent) were about to miss their dream shot at NYC because the about 30 year old healthy guy didn’t want to walk 10 more feet. I asked them why they were going to be on the show. The guy told me he was supposed to claim that he was having an affair with his wife’s sister and they were supposed to get in the big argument when he springs the information on his wife. Of course the sister-in-law would then walk on stage. I asked him about being paid and he said they would get something like $500 but got to stay in New York City with all expenses paid for a couple of days.1 point -

Cazzy Francis played college ball and went to try out with the Tampa Bay Bucs. Richard Pannell went to USL to play qb both of those guys played the next level. They ran the triple I option in high school so it was heavy run but Pannell Could throw the ball anywhere on the field. Kris Omey led is team 4 rounds in the playoffs in the wishbone. Buster Ascol and Kourtney Curtis prob the best qb combination duo and by far the best ground and pound that LCM ever had. Several OL went to play college ball on the OL they were big up front. Ashton Landry was a great runner look what happen this past season when he was not on the field. Hunter went 7-3 and missed the playoffs. He had a great receiver in Sonnier. I would say Hunter was better in Baseball player and just a good high school football player.1 point

Is this the guy that got escorted out of our gym this year after the Orangefield game? Playing too fast and out of control could be a recipe for the Bobcats to not have much success, they have been really skilled lately but never overly athletic.0 points
