Our law enforcement is geared toward the protection of property and the collection of money through tickets and civil forfeiture. They do not have to protect the general public (Supreme Court said as much). The “protect and serve” is great marketing.
I miss those sunset rides on Travis when I worked at Lakeway Marina. We’d drop the bosses boat and someone would be in the water at 7:15. Ride till 9:15, which is when the Sun would drop behind the cliffs.
My insurance company didn’t make any changes. They said my coverage was fine and I have an umbrella policy as well. Curious to know if other folks have different info.
Apparently they were locking down everything in the garage. Some other garages had been looted when the fans stormed the track / locked access areas. They were stealing signs, equipment, and stuff from around the track.
Large protest at the Capital in Tenn. The GOP had the rooms cleared when chants of “Children are dead, You don’t care” were happening. I hope it continues.
Everyone needs to flood their reps office with phone calls. They HAVE TO take every call. They cannot block you unless you make a threat. Have your kids call and ask them why they won’t do anything legitimate to make schools safer. Grind work to a screeching halt. Tell them you will work with anyone that is running in a primary against them that offers to do anything about guns. Real noise and disruption is one of the few ways we can cause problems for these reps.
At some point, a kid is gonna get killed and a grandparent or parent is going to kill a lot of politicians. Even then - I don’t think much will change.
Wanted to. Fort Bend ISD Admin (2nd in command behind the head of all of Special Education for Fort Bend) apologized, thanked us for not suing them (it would have been a shot show and no telling if we would have ever seen a dime) and the guy got moved to another campus. We ended up with the district moving his amazing teacher (from the year prior) to our campus. We also got 40 hours of compensatory services. My kid’s friend received 200 hours… which had increased to 300 last I spoke to that family. My son is now home and doing online public school. Kid gets A’s and B’s mostly teaching himself. Things are much, much better.
