  1. Here is my take.... If PNG was called the Nazi's and had a guy dress up like Hitler for the mascot, people would assume PNG is racist and supports and worships Nazism and Hitler. If PNG was called the Confederate's and had a guy dress up like a confederate solider for the mascot, people would assume PNG is racist and supports Jim Crow laws and stuff..... But if we insert Indians it's racist and disrespectful....... How do you buy that with a straight face? Who in the heck would support or dress up for someone they disrespected? I bet you if I wore a confederate flag t-shirt to a Port Arthur football game, I bet not ONE person would think I was disrespecting the Confederate flag, people or tradition......... So while PNG was always a rival in football, and my High School (TJ) was taken away from me......I have to say PNG has the coolest mascot and fight song I have ever seen....... I believe the motto is "Honor - Tradition - Pride".........How is that disrespectful?
  2. David Chapelle does a skit about the story......it is great....
  3. Actually read what he said…..saying a strategy is smart is not cheering someone on, it’s being honest.
  4. You have inside knowledge or letting your emotions see into the future?
  5. Seems to me PNG just hired Todd to COACH, mentor a team deep in playoff's????
  6. I don't particularly care for the guy, but I see nothing wrong with this. Workplace romances are more than common. Heck, I met my wife at the workplace and married her 20 years later....lol
  7. He is lucky he missed IMO...... [Hidden Content]
  8. Looks bad, but I doubt illegal
  9. This entire thread is why we can't have nice things..... A 17 year old had the absolute most tragic thing happen to him and it's all on camera, which translates to televisions and cell phones all over the world. Think of the most tragic thing that is happened to you and imagine it filmed and broadcast all over the world.....and your a household name overnight....... Has anyone on this page been chased by a mob, and had to shoot shoot 2 people, and vaporize someone's arm while trying to make sure you didn't die in the process? I find it very, very reasonable he wants everything associated with that night to go away. I've been on these forums many years, and people that say they could kill someone and sleep the next night or it wouldn't bother them....has never killed anyone. I hope I'm ready to shoot if I'm ever put in that situation....but I hope more I'm never put in that situation.....
  10. And they wonder why the police officers might be a little jumpy. There is no way I could of been a cop..... My personal opinion if the media continues to go after police officers, we will have a shortage of them if not all ready......10 years ago I would of been OK with my Son being a cop......now, not so much.....
  11. I really thought the 2016 elections proved that polls were unreliable. I'm a realist and also a Trump voter......I liked his policies, his mouth, not so much...... However, When a man causes this much turmoil pushing policies that benefited the country, it makes me wonder why even some of his own party were trying to shut him down..... Remember when Tweeting was not "Presidential"? Now every member of Government tweets... Back to the article.....I think he has a very good chance in 2024, especially if Biden keeps this downward spiral of inflation...... and 45/44 percent could play out much different according to the margin of error on this poll. Politico/Morning Consult surveyed 2,005 registered voters between January 22 and January 23. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points
  12. I actually laughed out loud on this one...... Could you imagine the level of debate in that vehicle.....lol
  13. I don't think you get enough thanks for all the long and detailed explanations you give. I would guess between this page and all the others you frequent, you have stopped a few "I know the law" gun nuts, or "I know my rights" guys from making some terrible decisions, after getting their legal advice from the self proclaimed Facebook lawyers...... =So THANKS!
  14. I have read other articles that give witness statements. The read in one he slowed down, a man jumped on his vehicle, started yelling, broke off one of his windshield wipers and banged it on his windshield......the off duty officer got out of his car and shot him. I agree, more questions, did he charge at the man when he got out, etc..... Here is a better explanation based on the 911 call [Hidden Content]
  15. Thoughts? Personally I think he "jumped the gun" a little quick, but at the same time, the guy made a pretty stupid decision to jump on a mans vehicle and act crazy with his family in the vehicle..... [Hidden Content]
  16. Add woman shot sitting in vehicle at 8pm last night around the turtle creek area😔
  17. Everyone has opinions, and normally I would say social media changed the game, BUT today, 3 Dollar generals robbed in Beaumont, a 12 year old leads police on a chase in Orange with speeds to 91 Mph…..it’s getting nuts I’m thinking we should post a “crimes page” as a topic and just post links to the crimes in the area…..I imagine it would be a busy post….
  18. Dedicated safe place? Isn’t that what Twitter and Facebook has become?
  19. Explain, I'm going to be in Port Arthur for 2 years......why should I not be concerned crime is higher there than other places I have lived?
