You did not. That’s why I stated it was not a good place for me to voice my opinion.

He continues to impress me. I hope he continues to drown out the noise and follow his dreams.

Commie #1 checking in. I never liked the idea of Santa. I never liked the idea of lying to kids about Santa. I taught my kids what I had learned about Jesus and Christianity while growing up, and explained to them they were given gifts out of love. They excepted my explanation pretty well. The decorations and gifts were still coming. The only issue we had concerning Santa was one year during the holidays at the Christian school they were attending they decided to tell their classmates that their father said Santa didn’t exist. Lots of sad kids, angry parents and administrators. Whenever we run into one of my kids former classmates we all have a laugh over how everyone overreacted to my decision not to lie to my kids. We didn’t do the Easter bunny thing either. They were taught about the resurrection. The eggs, games and candy were perks of playing with their cousins and friends after church. This isn’t a knock on those who choose to do otherwise. It was just my thing with my kids. Edit- I didn’t want to put this in charity challenge thread, because I didn’t want to seem like I was thread crapping the op’s post. Reading that post validates the unnecessary pressure people feel during the holidays. If Jesus is the reason for the season, that should be emphasized more than the receiving of gifts. I know that gift giving is symbolic, but corporations could care less about your feelings. SHOW THEM THE MONEY! No parent or child should feel depressed because they aren’t in a position to observe what has become a commercialized holiday.

The mom’s text messages to the son before the shooting and other social media could very likely harm the parents. The prosecutor seems to be ready to throw everything against the wall.

Yep! It’ll disturb the peace.

I got my booster about a week ago. I’m willing to take another if needed simply because people are nasty.

The video shown in court shows the home security camera video of the cameraman working on his porch when Ahmaud ran past the cameraman’s home. The cameraman calmly walked inside to retrieve his truck keys. The cameraman entered his truck and joined the pursuit. This event took 19 seconds according to the evidence. Sometimes it’s best to mind your business, especially when you’re not an actual witness to a transgression.

I agree. Once the shooter went inside the house he could have armed himself and called the cops to report a trespass situation. If the big loudmouth enters the home, then all bets are off. This entire situation is shady.

I’m glad you’re back up to speed. Congratulations on the kids. Stay safe.

I like the policing idea that we saw on 60 Minutes. The police chief said it saved his officers over 3600 calls so far. I do think the social workers should have a taser, pepper spray, radio and a baton just in case. Not every 911 call should require a police presence. Having someone respond to traffic accidents like the Memphis PST’s and others to respond to potential mental health issues without escalating the situation is a win in my book.

I’ve been reading, but not responding to your post since you’ve been a member. Judging by the adjectives you like to use to describe people, I would NEVER attend a party with you. If you were paying attention, my response was to another member. I’ll continue to disregard you, and I hope you’ll do the same regarding me. Good day!

Agreed, besides it’s petty, immature and stupid.

I have to agree. He was very composed and believable.

I imagine a lot of individuals and agencies will be sued.

I saw a preview. Kyle said he supports BLM and there are a lot of prosecutorial injustices. This will be a fun watch.

My wife and I got pedicures on Friday in mid town. She insisted that we stop by Makedas for cookies. This is going to sound f*cked up, but I’m from the hood and I try to avoid North Memphis, South Memphis, Orange Mound and especially Frayser at all cost. I don’t even visit friends and relatives in those areas. That being said she wanted those cookies, so I bit the bullet and drove over there. Seems the wife gets a rush out of going to known shady neighborhoods to try the food, because she has me. I’m not a fan of this line of thinking. With the exception of the old style school cafeteria cookies everything else is overrated, and not worth the risk of being near Airways and Ketchum. Insomnia Cookies are much better. I’ve heard of Dolph, but I’ve never heard his music. I haven’t heard of the circumstances surrounding his demise, but you don’t have to be doing anything wrong to get shot in Memphis. You’re playing the life lottery every time you walk out of your door. A situation not unique to Memphis. I live in S.E. Shelby and the SCSD is highly visible and also discreet, so I prefer to stay on the eastern side of the county.

Good for you! I received notification that Larue shipped me a new item today after having the claim approved by UPS.

It’s probably USPS Surepost. If that’s the case, it’s just sitting until they have to move it.

It’s everywhere brother.

I live about ten minutes from the Olive Branch location. They’ve been trash since the pandemic. They’ve lost several of my packages and others have sat in limbo for a week or more. UPS is no better. Lost or opened packages. I just had a claim approved by UPS for a Surefire flash hider that disappeared once it reached the UPS Memphis hub. The postal service is just slow. ‘I’m waiting on my replacement flash hider from Larue and some switches from Amazon, then I’m done with packages until January. It’s not worth the hassle.

Good point.

I just did my first form 1 today. I’m going to allow myself to forget about it like I did with the suppressors. Other things in life to do than stress over something I can’t control. Good luck to you guys.

That coach must be f*cked in the head to leave his family for a stripper.

This may not be the right dog for you. Mals are extremely high energy and high drive. They need constant activity and stimulation. They are working dogs. They need plenty to do or you will POTENTIALLY have your yard and belongings destroyed depending upon the amount of training you dog has.

Thanks brother.
