COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I can't find an appointment anywhere for the next few weeks. Where are you guys going to get boosted? Any place doing walk ins? We tried walkin at Walgreens for 2nd shot and they said we had to book it via the app sitting there in the store (but there are no appts to book now.)

Charles Maund (of Charles Maund Toyota) indicted in murder-for-hire plot
I can't get over that there are multiple professional hitmen with companies who are former military. And why did he need 3 of them?

Man in Texas killed trying to pick up kids from ex-wife
A few years ago in Midland a homeowner shot and killed a police officer who entered his home after a false security alarm. He was charged with murder and just acquitted today. That is a non-guilty verdict I can get behind in a castle doctrine case. https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/crime/trial-david-wilson-midland-police-officer-nathan-heidelberg/513-1e34dfd5-86ab-4384-898f-921bc8103f64 The one this thread is about however, I cannot at this point.

Did he actually say this? And we can argue that taking the gun away when being threatened with one (including a warning shot) is self defense as well.

Those actions do not justify lethal violence - whether via gun, stabbing, or slamming someone over the head with a rock.

gun threats at crockett high school
It sounds like they identified the kid(s) and they are not at school.

Man in Texas killed trying to pick up kids from ex-wife
Can we leave the sexist and insulting comments about the judge out of it? She didn't do anything wrong here and in fact is trying to protect her kids from their murderous dad. She is not the crazy exwife. The crazy ex is Christina.

They are divorced. The judge has filed to keep their kids from him. She doesn't support her ex in this in any way.

I think. Maybe not.

No - that was the wife's kid. I know it's very confusing.

The home where it happened belongs to the shooter's parents.

Man in Texas killed trying to pick up kids from ex-wife
It happened the first week of Nov. It's only getting attention now because the family of the victim is speaking out, and because the name of the shooter was finally revealed in court docs when his now ex-wife filed a counter suit in the divorce.

This family is neighbors with someone close to me and they know them pretty well. They said the guy has been a gun nut ever since they have known him.

UT buys Dobie Center
Hardin House resident here. And it looks exactly the same as it did in the mid-90s. 💅 My kid is probably going to UT in the fall. If you haven't been there lately, the changes to West Campus changes are crazy. He will probably live at Callaway which I liken to the former Towers maybe.

The last appointed SOS wouldn't be corrupt so she wasn't confirmed. So it's been vacant for months.

75 Dogs Die In Georgetown Boarding Facility Fire
His facebook posts are a big reason I stopped going to this place, honestly. I use an in-home place now. It's really tragic all around. Definitely not something to joke about.

75 Dogs Die In Georgetown Boarding Facility Fire
Yes it is disclosed. I don't disagree that having overnight staff there is the best practice in general. Apparently many boarding places don't have them. Hopefully that changes.

75 Dogs Die In Georgetown Boarding Facility Fire
My thought is that a sprinkler system and fire alarm would have done more good in this case than a person there overnight. I live in Georgetown and have used this facility many times over the years. I know people who lost their dogs. I know the owner and his family and my kid knows some of the staff. It is extremely devastating for all involved. Georgetown is reeling.
