Nederland returns opening kickoff to FB 29.

Those judges are state judges feds don’t have a dog in the hunt. Dual sovereignty.

Any time you think we have finally reached the end of the insanity tunnel, they come up with a new spin. Then you say, we have finally reached the end of the insanity tunnel……

The border has been completely corrupted by the Biden administration. The rest has nothing to do with him. A lot has to do with like minded Democrat legislatures and governors though.

Ah yes, the “are you so still beating your wife” question. Has he broken any law? Has he been indicted? Tried? Convicted? I don’t deny that anyone might have broken a law. What law and what evidence?

It won’t become the norm because that many people aren’t crazy. It will become more likely just like a latest internet challenge. It should be fairly obvious that society is reaching new lows each month. Our open society has now degraded into deviant behavior not only being acceptable but encouraged.

How do you steal something you own?

So he is flipping through the Penal Code to see if he can find a crime that fits? Hahaha…. 😂

If a frog had wings…..

I wonder if there sheriff should refer to Texas law before making a fool of himself? Nah, probably not. Texas Penal Code, Chapter 20, Section 20.03 … Kidnapping: A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly “abducts” another person. Section 20.01, definitions in this chapter. Abduct: to restrain a person with to prevent his liberation by (A) secreting or holding him in a location where he is not likely to be found or (B) using or threatening to use deadly force. I am not part of the “investigation” obviously but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that they were not hidden somewhere (quite the opposite) and no one threaten them with deadly force if they did not get on the plane. BUT, that is just going by the law. I am sure that when he is running for office, the law or applying it is the last thing on his mind. Maybe the high sheriff is thinking of some other law but I can’t figure that out right now.

Obviously the Dems are afraid of DeSantis and should be.

The meaning of treason is somewhat blurred in history.

In a way I think they have already become the norm. As WOSdrummer99 said, it is a classic battle between good and evil. The main problem today is that the evil has been made main stream. Now it seems fashionable to side with evil for political reasons. This isn’t about HS football though and it just happened to be the venue for this incident. Society is the problem. I have posted many times in several forums, when you lock down the schools, a person intent on evil will simply change his target or find another way to hit the same target.

High school football games have been shot up in mass shootings forever? I kind of feel like even in the “old days” when we had three television channels, and they went off air at midnight, if several people would be shot at a high school football game, we would have heard about it.

That may be true but why would separatist be banned? (and I know it wasn’t your comment )

That’s it. It is either misunderstood or intentionally misleading to call this fights. It is violent crime, period and should be dealt with as such. It appears from the WB video, if it is authentic, at least one and possibly more students could be facing several felony charges up to 99 years in prison, according to what injures and other actions may be involved. I have read that the kid was possibly lured into the restroom. Let’s go out on a limb here and say that at least two other students, along with the one that did the beating, were involved in someway in setting this up. That means no matter the felony, it would be one degree higher under organized crime. If the kids suffered serious, bodily injury, and they stole something such as a cell phone or wallet as has been claimed, it is a first-degree felony not of a 5-99 year possible sentence but (I think and we’ll look it up later) it goes to 25-99.

The problem in my opinion is that many or maybe most of these “fights” aren’t fights. That is a cop out and a convenient explanation. They are assaults, sex assaults, robberies, probably kidnappings, etc. Everybody knows and has said that fights at school have been around since there were schools. How many times did I hear at school, meet me at the bicycle rack after third period or what became popular for a time, let’s meet behind the church. That was across the street from the school and not on school property so we thought we were exempt from consequences. But the theme was the same. A couple of guys had a score to settle and they did, often not a spur of the moment burst of testosterone but a planned event with the aforementioned, meet me at…… Luring kids into a restroom for a robbery, having a pre planned beat down of a timid kid by a gang of bullies is not part of, “there have always been fights”. So yeah, covid might have played a part if it was just tempers flaring. I don’t buy it though. Kids were in school together for 9 years and being out of school for a year all of a sudden they don’t know how to act? Sometimes? Sure. But again, this isn’t tempers running high. If it is a result of covid, shouldn’t every school be suffering the same consequences? There are two major emotional or logical motivating factors in behavior. Those are incentives and consequences. Incentives. Why do some people go to college? Why do some people volunteer for overtime? Why do some people choose one profession over another? It is the personal desire to achieve money, status, a desired profession and so on. Most of the time it is a combination of the and other factors. Consequences. If it were not for laws, social status, etc, and if there were no consequences, would any of us act differently? If Texas retains the 5 speckled trout limit but then says, we will no longer all out game wardens to enforce that law, how many otherwise upstanding people would always stop at legal but unenforced limit? If the speed limits remained the same but the police were told to no longer in force them, how many people would speed or how high would they go? When you take away incentives to work, is there any shock that many people won’t work? When you take away consequences, is there any shock that bad behavior increases, sometimes dramatically? I believe that some people will always be bums. They existed long before any welfare system came into play. I believe that there will always be and has been criminals no matter how severe the law. But what are the percentages? We have probably all heard the 10-80-10 (15-70-15, 20-60-20, etc) management concept. It is like 10% of the people will always do the right thing, 10% will always do the wrong thing but the 80% in the middle will go which way they are led. Which way has our country (and the world ) been led on incentives and consequences?

Sometimes I think it may be required by law. I am not familiar with the state and federal laws on student admissions but like the police, sometimes a school administrators hands might be tired. I don’t know that and maybe someone in the school administration will speak up. I mean, look at Illinois, where they are about to start a new law where some rapists and murderer suspects will be allowed to walk the streets, being released on their own recognizance. There a time when it is not the officials’ fault, but the elected legislators who cannot be sued

We have a growing pattern but this girl’s story isn’t part of it. The Safe T act is pure Democratic insanity. First they called the police out of high crime areas such as in Baltimore and Minneapolis and are they shocked that crime soared. Next they defunded and still trying to defund the police and are shocked that crime has soared. Now in Illinois they are going to completely eliminate cash bail. You will see no more…. bail was set at $10,000 for felony drug sales. A person will either be held in jail to await trial or simply be released. Even for violent crimes, a judge had to hold a hearing to determine if the person needs to be held until trial or simply released. So for the crimes of kidnapping, 2nd degree murder (probably without premeditation such as killing somebody in a bar fight), robbery, drug induced homicide, burglary (breaking into someone’s home), assault with serious injuries, etc., a judge has to have a hearing to determine if there are other circumstances (other than the murder, kidnapping, felony assault, breaking into people’s homes, etc that they committed) that would make him/her think that the person is a danger. So…… if you kidnap or murder someone, that doesn’t automatically mean you are a threat to the public. Gee, what can go wrong? The country has seen and is about to really see what happens when you make the police out to be the bad guy and criminals as victims of being misunderstood. Every time something stupid happens such as in the last few years (federal judges don’t know what different sexes are, criminals don’t need to be held in jail, it is okay for teachers to discuss with 8 year old children the pros and cons of having a sex change, some people are born racist by skin color, etc) and you think, nothing will be worse than this…. but then we have things like the Safe T act that leaves us thinking, what next?

And for now (fingers crossed it won’t happen), Pelosi is next in line after Harris. Sure, we all know the Constitution and if Harris became the president, she could then choose her vice president which would have to be approved by the Senate and the House similar to a Supreme Court nominee except both houses would vote and not just the Senate. Pelosi would then go back to #3 in line. Hopefully that dynamic changes in 7 weeks. Here is a “what if” that might scare Democrats. If the Republicans pick up only 1 seat in the Senate, they will have control if they all vote together. No nominee can be approved without at least some Republican support. If they can flip 4 seats in the House, the Speaker of the House, with complete control of ALL legislation, would be a Republican. The biggest “what if”….. If both scenarios happen (or even one actually) and Biden leaves office for whatever reason, the Republican Speaker of the House would be #2 in line for the presidency until both houses of Congress agrees on the Vice President nominee. So the Republicans would have to approve of any Harris nominee (or if she left office first, any Biden nominee) as vice president or a Republican would be next in line. It kind of gives a different view of the current Democrat, who needs you or bipartisanship stance. I would bet they now will all of a sudden want to reach across the aisle.

Sure, the DA could probably have not agreed to the guilty plea which was likely a deal. She had a choice not to confess. She had the choice to a trial by jury but pleaded guilty. The judge had the choice of not showing leniency. And so on…..

What appears to be facts: She was a runaway and was living in apartments in the hallways, etc. She claims to have been kidnapped and forced into prostitution. Maybe true, maybe not. Her guy/pimp/abductor was wrong in any case and if alive, should be put into prison for many years. From the articles I have read, including this one, it is her alibi as told only by her. Uhhhh…. He forced me into this. She confessed to the murder, saying that the man was asleep. When she got up to kill him, she likely could have walked away. Her own statement was that she got up, got a knife and stabbed him 30 times, sometimes in the groin area. That makes it sound like anger instead of self defense. Understandable? Probably but it is hardly like he was attacking her and she grabbed a knife and it got out of hand. She could have taken her case to a trial but chose to plead guilty. Although confessing to and charged with Murder, she was allowed to plead guilty to two lesser charges. Instead of sentencing her to prison, the judge gave her probation only and then for only five years. As the judge noted, while being held in juvenile detention she had issues with violating the rules. She apparently doesn’t work and play well with others. Iowa law calls for any guilty verdict in a death to also carry a mandatory minimum of $150,000 restitution to the family of the deceased. The judge gave her the absolute minimum under the law. 1. She chose to run away. 2. She chose to sleep among adults and possibly to let men abuse her to survive. 3. She claimed that one man in particular was her captor. 4. She claimed that she waited until he was asleep and confessed to murdering him instead of trying to leave. 5. She could have taken it to a jury but chose to plead guilty for only five years probation where the judge appears to have sentenced her as lightly as the law allows. I have read hundreds of comments on Facebook where the system is broken, the judge was corrupt, they charged her while she defended herself, etc. Do we really know what happened? No since we can’t read the case file. Her attorney certainly did. I read the applicable Alabama law and it doesn’t appear that she was a valid self defense claim. Her own confession said that she was not being attacked. I read the law of mandatory compensation for the dead guy’s family. It seems the judge took all of that into consideration and gave her the bare minimum allowed. EDIT: Tpyo only.

Wrong. It shows how brilliant the Democrats are. A man is distraught as he comes home and sees his house full engulfed in flames and the fire department desperately trying to put it out. As he falls to the ground and starts crying in despair, Kamala Harris walks up, pats the man on the shoulder and tells him not to worry, his house is not burning to the ground. The man jumps to his feet and walks away smiling while saying, “Thank you!! For a minute I thought I was in a horrible situation”. Utterly brilliant in front of the correct audience.

Yeah, kids were fighting in school 200 years ago. I think this is different in recent years where people gang up and commit aggravated assault or robbery. Sometimes it is probably race based. I never saw any fight that wasn’t 1 on 1.
