  2. Misinformation is common and much of it is likely unintentional. Assumptions and rumors are easy to start, especially in today’s instance communication World. All that is needed is a mere suggestion or question for false information to go wild. If a person asks, is blah blah blah true, the person hearing it will probably say to someone else, I heard that they might be looking at blah blah blah. By the third or fourth person, it is no longer a question but a fact. “I heard from a guy that I trust that blah blah blah is true!!”. I am sure that I have told this story before so I won’t go into great detail but I started a rumor at my police department by asking a question. I ask at my shift meeting if anyone heard the rumor that the city was about to name an interim Chief Of Police from the Amarillo PD. Of course no one had heard about it because I made it up about 15 seconds earlier. I concluded with, it is probably another nonsensical rumor based on nothing at all. Forget you even heard it. On the way into the police station the next afternoon, I was met by a lieutenant who asked if I had any details on the Amarillo PD assistant chief who was about to be named as our interim chief. I should have said that he was supposed to be there at 2 PM tomorrow for our evening shift Roll Call meeting and everybody needed to wear Class A uniforms with ties and hats. 🤣🤣🤣

  3. As a libertarian, I’m no big Trump fan. But, he was better than the alternatives. I didn’t vote in the last cycle (first time ever) because I said I was tired of voting against someone instead of voting ‘for’ someone. Either way, I’m a limited government guy. That means I’m not R or D. I’ll take the benefits available that I’ve paid into if they’re still there. But, if they’re not there, I’ll deal with that also. I have yet to see Trump do anything to ‘destroy the Constitution.’ I actually saw more of that in the last farcical administration where the people were lied to about a candidate & will never know who was actually running the government. Other than, it wasn’t the duly elected POTUS. THAT is the biggest scandal/corruption of all time.

  6. I’m willing to bet will all the “slash and burn” happening, the business of the country won’t miss a beat. Just like we didn’t implode when the government “shut down”, even though democrats were trying as hard as they could to convince us otherwise.

  7. So much false information going around. It blows me away the Suspect Karmelo Anthony is getting so much support. I'm curious if the knife was over 5.5" long. If so, That would be a 3rd degree felony in Texas having it on school property. @tvc184 - If the knife was over 5.5" long and if that is 3rd degree felony, could capital murder charges be filed, since he killed him while committing a felony? The young man needs to spend the rest of his life in jail. [Hidden Content]

  8. Thanks for the info, There is so much noise around this case it's tough to keep up. I really hope one of those 30 witnesses took video of the incident.

  9. AND….. It is not Capital Murder to be committing a felony during a Murder. It is Capital Murder to intentionally or knowingly kill a person only in certain specific situations, some of which are felonies. Examples are, killing more than one person during the same incident, killing a police officer or firefighter acting in the line of duty, Murder for hire, during a robbery, sexual assault, etc., killing a child under 15 years old and so on. Possessing a stolen credit card is a felony. Just for example, let’s say the suspect in this case, had a stolen credit card in his pocket. He would then be actively committing a felony. That doesn’t upgrade a Murder to a Capital Murder. The DA kind of threw gasoline on the fire and probably caused confusion when he made a statement something like, he was not going to seek the death penalty. There was no death penalty to seek. First, it does not fit the elements of the crime and secondly, they cannot seek the death penalty for someone under 18 years old. Then we start seeing comments like, “Oh, they are going to let him get away with whatever!!

  10. First time for everything…. I hate reading police reports. I spent about 30 years trying to teach cops to speak normal English. One of my pet peeves, and it was at least a couple of times in the I report you linked, is the phrase, “It should be noted”. No kidding? Newsflash: Everything should be noted. I was approving a report one time and called in the officer to completely rewrite it. Almost every sentence started with, it should be noted. It should be noted that I have arrived about five minutes after being dispatched. It should be noted that there were several offices already on scene. It should also be noted that I saw a man who appeared to be unconscious in the front yard, and it should be noted that there were several witnesses nearby…. YOU’RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!! 😳 Then the policespeak. 🤣 I then detained him in handcuffs (cuffed behind the back) blah blah….. Why not just say, I handcuffed him by in the back? Another favorite is, I saw a red in color Ford Mustang. I guess that’s for the benefit of people who don’t know that red is a color.

  11. As much as I would like Jacob to take over, he isn't certified. At Silsbee, all their head coaches are certified teachers.

  12. Westwood's Bryant will be interviewing next week. According to my sources he is the frontrunner and has the endorsement of Coach Sigler.

  13. Coach Travis never Scheduled or really challenged the tigers like Coach sigler did no disrespect to any of the teams in our area or to Coach Williams but scheduling a lot of our local teams like he did back then will not help playing 5a and 6a competition will help keep our young Tigers at the top of 4a unless Mr Williams coaching style has changed I don’t want to see Silsbee in the Evadale tournament again no disrespect to any team keep the run and gun style offense and intense defense that is Silsbee we need a coach that will keep that no fear of anyone 4a 5a or 6a competition Silsbee has never backed down from.

    This goes along with Reagan’s “art of the deal”. If you really want to know about someone, talk to someone who has worked side-by-side with them.

  16. My guess is that Bryant wouldn't be long term. As soon as his last son graduates, he would be gone. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he and his younger son left before he graduated. Both Travis and Tremaine would be here for a while. Travis would likely retire here. Jacob would definitely be here for many many years. He is a Silsbee Tiger through and through.

    The deficit is the difference between annual receipts and expenses. The debt is what we have to borrow to finance the deficits. Trump set records on both scores.
