None of it matters.... I saw an article about the guy that they found hung in a tree in Southern California. People were calling it a lynching, etc... somebody pointed out that practically all of the hangings in the US are suicide, and have been for decades... there has been ZERO indications that this is anything but a typical suicide... to which someone replied...”suicide? Black people don’t just hang themselves from trees.... and even if he did, it’s obvious that he was overwhelmed by all of the racism and oppression, so his blood is on your hands, too!” Of course it is.

I’ve heard a couple of LEOs say “yes,” because once the officer is tazed he’s unable to defend himself. Also, my understanding has always been that whatever you do, the cops “go up one level.” They’re not obligated to match your level of force. That’s a common misconception. “I was hitting him, but that’s no reason to hit me with his stick.”

What’s your opinion on this use of force? I’ve seen a few LEO-types post that this was justified because the officer would have been incapacitated if tazed and unable to defend himself. Mike Tyson said “everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face.” A fight is extremely stressful, whether you’re a pro fighter, untrained civilian, or trained policeman. When a person initiates combat with a policeman, they’re basically putting him/her into an unbelievably stressful position and counting on them to make sound decisions under those conditions. Sometimes I think that a lot of these people complaining have never been in a fight.

That’s back before we all knew how offensive a flag could be.

I think you’ll see more of this, not less. When the lefties made sure that you can no longer restrain a person around their neck, they guaranteed that more of these fights will have deadly endings. Either one of those cops could have taken the guy’s back and locked him down.... except now they can’t. That tool was taken. I think the police should do a little protest of their own. Just a public announcement that “due to our systemic racism and uncontrollable oppression, each and every one of us has decided to suspend ourselves for one week without pay, effective now. May the odds be ever in your favor.” And cue the Purge siren.

Yeah.:.. she’s not talking about any accountability for the guy who was wilding out.

When they say “defund the police” they’re talking about taking the money that police departments operate with. Some people want to see less police and some people want them to be completely disbanded. That’s what the Minneapolis City Council voted to do this week. Completely do away with the police force. Some people believe we’d be better off with no police.

That word means different things to different people. Some just want to see police budgets cut to teach them a lesson or make them de-militarize. Others want police budgets (Or a part of them) taken away and given to community outreach programs. Others mean that they want the police departments dismantled, period. It’s a good question.

This is why everybody should have stood up for the truth whenever the first people started saying that the police and the justice system are racist, as evidenced by incarceration rates broken down by race. It went unchallenged, so now it’s generally accepted that law enforcement and the legal system as a whole are racist... what choice do they have but to do away with it like an offensive statue? This isn’t the end game. The American flag will be next, the means of production, and ultimately property ownership because they all are “systematically racist.” I’m telling you... you’re already in danger just for dissent against the movement. Im afraid that at some point we’re going to have to decide to subject ourselves to the mob or take up arms.

He only played in 15. The qb in 16 was a lb in 15. It was his first year under center in the “T.” We also lost the starting wing before the Silsbee game in 15. That kid was a first team all district back in 16, but unavailable in 15. Plus y’all had Tyler in 16. Silsbee had Calvin Tyler, Tre, Barnes, etc. in 16. It wasn’t a rebuilding year. There was one kid that played at the next level from that BC team. Y’all had something like 6, I think. Don’t quote me on that.

It was just an example and I'm sure that we could find plenty that go the other way...

I’m sorry that you feel that way, but it’s just not true. Contrary to what you believe, successful business owners want the best candidate for a position, period. The only color that they care about is green. That ol’ racist NFL would prefer to give all of those player salaries to white guys, right? So why don’t they?

Do it, Soulja!

I disagree. I don't think anybody believes MCM will be the same this year if they are forced to play in an empty stadium. Have you ever been to a MCM?

That was a gross injustice, lol.

Should have... that's a 5A D2 School beating up on a 4A D2. I've been so disappointed the last few years. It's not even fun anymore.

42 two points hung on superior athletes two years in a row. By a bunch of slow kids from BC. Sounds like y'all have it figured out. Seven on seven should have y'all ready for the Pirates. Carry on. EDIT..... HJ (1-9) point more points on the Tigers in District play in 2019 than any other team... even WOS.

Let's be honest.... there's Mid County Madness and then everybody else. Attendance is a big part of it. When tickets can't be had and every seat is filled..... You know the crowd is 100% pumped on both sides of the field. Relative parity is important, too. The fact that the series is relatively close and the fact that you can throw the current season records out the window at kickoff because it's anybody's game.

Honestly, we were gashing them so bad that we weren't killing much clock. Better athletes on the Silsbee squad, they just weren't ready for the T. I still favor Silsbee in the matchup with Vidor, but I could see it being a potential stumbling block.

Hiring based on skin color, sex, or any other such “qualification” is wrong. Even if you’re doing it to try and correct a wrong. It’s still wrong. I have a cousin that got a CJ degree from Lamar in the mid 90s and his plan was to join the DPS. He admittedly wasn’t a top-tier candidate, and at the time the DPS was committed to hiring 60% minority candidates if my memory is correct. The only problem is that they weren’t getting enough minority candidates of any tier... you had to be Superman to get hired if you were white, but preferred (POC, female) candidates would get hired if they could fog a mirror. He’s in school administration now, lol.

17 would have been a down year and then we got clobbered by injuries. Dubois was gone in 18, hence the “run it well.” You guys always have good teams. 15 was our first year in the system and we out 42 on you. Y’all had a year to get ready and in 16 we put 42 on your D again. If a bunch of slow white kids (y’all have us on speed) hang 40+ on you repeatedly with a ball-control offense... you’re having trouble with the slot-T. That’s been several years, no doubt... I guess the question for you, Defender of the Tigers, is whether or not you guys have faced anybody that ran a good “T” since we beat Calvin, Tre, Barnes and the rest of those “scrubs(?)”for the DC in ‘16? Because that was a good Silsbee squad.

The most talented group to ever come out of Silsbee got done up by a bunch of slow white kids running the T in ‘16. Maybe Coach Smith has helped with defensive discipline... I just believe that Silsbee hasn’t seen much of it, and when they did they struggled. We held them fairly close in 15, too... with the starting wing out for the season. 17 was a wash for us injury wise, then we abandoned the T. Any time a slot t team hangs fifty on you, you’re struggling.

You know who knows that Bible through-and-through? The devil. I flew in and out of Chicago O’Hare about 15 years ago. We had time to kill before our flight out so we decided to hop on the El Train and see downtown. Not smart. The whole way down there looked like we were rolling through the part of town that JJ lived in on “Good Times.” I felt like I had a “mug me” sign on my back. And I lived down in Port Arthur, lol. My opinion on the state of affairs in Chicago comes almost exclusively from looking at shooting and murder totals from whichever sources toss up a headline. I normally don’t get too deep into the articles.

They haven’t faced any that I’m aware of in that time span. I’m aware of. Somebody from Silsbee can correct me if I’m off about that. Correction.... Lumberton has been running it some, but not well

I’m excited about Silsbee Jasper coming back this year.
