When I started reading this thread, I got that sick "what could go wrong" feeling. Be aware that just because the law says it's yours, and logic says it's yours, that doesn't mean your safe when you take it from a POS.
I was sole owner of a business, and the business owned property (I'll call...
Glad this is working out so far. Glad this kid has at least a few standup people in his life. Hope the drama is truly over (at least about the truck).
Well done!
If I missed this in this long thread, sorry...
Did I hear the news right yesterday - the Incident Commander was a school police dept. chief?
Was he actually a school employee? Did he answer to the school board? You know, the same kind of board getting called on the carpet by parents all...
My Bad. Thanks for setting me straight. I heard in early reporting that this was an entry point, and that's why the BP agents were there. I didn't check, and that's on me.
So... Branden STILL won't visit the border!
Well, maybe not 'pre planned', but the tried and true playbook is "never let a crisis go to waste!" I'm personally convinced that they at least pre planned the sh** out of how to capitalize on the crisis that they knew would present itself.
Maybe the lesson here is - If your first on the scene, go deal with the problem BEFORE your politician boss gets involved.
I recall a few 'incidents' in the military where everything was under control until the brass got wind, then things turned to sh**.
That's what I want to know... Who was in command, making decisions. If I find out that some anti-2A activist at the ATF somehow inserted themself, my head will explode.
Thanks for sharing the story!
Sounds like you got a first class private lesson on the the effects of an adrenaline dump! An unfamiliar and unexpected situation, amplified by the time, your mood, and contact with a person with "Command Presence". I think your reaction is more common than you...
More than a correlation with drugs or parenting, I'm really interested in the relationship between MEDIA COVERAGE and political opportunism, and mass killings.
Killing during a robbery, a drug deal, or because someone slept with your wife - that's just murder. A "mass shooting", particularly...
Agreed.
There have always been "troubled youths" (I may have known one or two). I think it's the Magnitude of the damage they cause, and the lack of personal accountability that's changed in my lifetime. There's a big difference between a little vandalism or other juvinile rebellion, and a...
1. My take-away was that the MSM is actively massaging, grooming, the story to fit their agenda. It wasn't that "weed is evil".
2. Thousands of of years of history shows that mass killings and guns DON'T need to go together. It's only when you specify with the term 'shooting' that they do...
...and the original plan was for 2022? I REALLY want to know if the current shooter was one of the two arrested, or if he was friends with them, or ...
Hmmm... wonder how this also correlates with the diminishing authority to discipline students. For that matter the Parents right and/or willingness to discipline their own children? Seems like the late 70's and early 80's saw a pretty big shift. now give that some years to sink into the social...
I DON'T trust them. That's the point. Unfortunately, there aren't enough sane, mature, thoughtful young people looking at careers, who want to do the job!
I'm not disagreeing - and many of them are not. Unfortunately, we only get to pick from the available pool. Like other professions, many that would be great for the job, simply don't want to do it.
If we want better teachers, we need to make the job more attractive AND have better processes...
With due respect, the ranting and whatnot IS a process for vetting ideas and building better ones. It's not the best, but hey, this is an internet forum, not an established committee or anything. I think INGO is much more respectful and thoughtful than just about any forum, platform, etc. I've...
