No.

But, I’ve seen them not exit deer a number of times. It certainly happens. Bullets do crazy things inside the body of a mammal sometimes.

They did the red card to England tonight too. Terrible call.

No it wasn't, that was a text book red.

The call on Balogun was a bad a call, especially since the ref had a good look at it and didn't even give it a yellow in live time.

Nobody's telling anyone in this country to turn off the AC.

Not yet, but you and I both know that this is one of the first steps for government to regulate our AC and energy consumption. It’s the first step to governors on home electricity meters.

Heck, I got mine sitting on 86°

You have achieved nothing but showing these politicians and energy execs that people like you will swallow their commands.

Over time they know that consolidation will eliminate useless career leeches that populate the combined departments.

That’s fine, and I’m all for it.

I’m not for it this way.

They should have eliminated the position before an election was held, instead of the week after the election was held because the candidate who won the election is someone that the governor and his pal Cannizzaro don’t like.

It reeks of impropriety.

The position of criminal clerk had existed for 175 years, but it needed to be eliminated the week after Duncan won the election? If this were a republican won position being eliminated in this manner, this board would be having a 5 alarm meltdown and screaming about “election interference,” and, “this country is done for!”

This is typical slimy Louisiana politics on both sides. It’s embarrassing.

No one can say with a straight face that this issue has been handled well by the state. I don't think many people at all would be as angry about this had the Governor decided to eliminate the position before the candidates ran a race and there was an election.

I'm not a democrat, but I personally think it's a terribly egregious move to do this right after voters had cast their ballot. It stinks.

And how exactly am I supposed to know that dip shite?

Oh shite, I don’t know… with intellect?

You’re sitting there bragging about this thugs GPA as if he’s some intelligent human being.

---

No, I wasn’t. I inferred that a jury, knowing what they know from select information given to them by attorneys about someone they have never met, probably wouldn’t believe that he was out hunting track athletes at a stadium full of people, because he’s “hood.”

You’re not very good at this.

quote:

---

The idea that he needed to wake up and plan to leave his house with the intent to kill is stupid.

---

I never suggested that this was the case, but I was responding to a poster who seemed to believe that he was at the stadium hunting track athletes because “hood rat culture.”

Go back and read what I was responding to.

quote:

---

The possibility of stuff being taken is another reason why many schools take staying out of others areas seriously and leaving when asked. Also, it is why several “leaders” are picked to try to have someone at or nearby as much as possible. They also can’t really just flip the switch only around certain schools,
so they do it for all track events.

---

I get that, but the attorneys have proven pretty clearly through text messages that Karmelo and a kid on the Memorial track team were friends. That, coupled with the fact that it was raining and most of the memorial team was under the tent because of the weather, makes it pretty unlikely that he was there trying to steal things under a crowded tent because of “hood rat culture.”

quote:

---

Or because he was intending to murder someone

---

He murdered Austin. I firmly believe that.

I think it’s pretty wild though, and would be nearly impossible to convince a jury, that a kid with no arrest record and a 3.7 gpa went to a track meet in the rain at 10:30am to hunt a victim to kill in front of hundreds of people.

Call me crazy.

quote:

---

I get that. But like 30 years ago in junior high our bus got robbed while playing a football game at a local public school. It's not out of the question that this kind of thing is still

---

I’m not saying that’s not what was happening, but as far as I’ve read, the prosecution hasn’t even suggested this angle.

It seems pretty clear that he went under Memorial High tent because of a combination of the weather and he loosely knew a young man on the Memorial team.
