  1. the next Kendra Sunderland
  2. this applies to yelp/google reviews of restaurants times eleventy billion "Came in on a recent Friday night and no one greeted me at the host stand for twelve seconds blah blah blah WE WON'T BE COMING BACK!!!" Ok cool bye. Just don't come back, no one cares about your pronouncement.
  3. It would really be something if Jairo Solis actually panned out considering how long he occupied a 40-man spot as a teenager and beyond. He's still young (23) and has time to develop but his walk rate is atrocious.
  4. I called this move years ago. This mfer has always mimicked Drellich, not surprised he went there.
  5. Meyers is the 2023 edition of Surly's April 2022 Goodrum
  6. We lost our first game to the Rangers last year as well. Can't win the WS without losing that game to Arlington first!
  7. Here's the full 76-pg document the court released yesterday detailing Perry's social media and texting activities. Anyone defending this guy is defending a classic red-pilled incel pedo loser who was obsessed with right-wing political memes and thought often about how to hypothetically kill those he viewed as his political opponents and get away with it. A lot of conversation with his level-headed facebook friend about what would constitute a "good shoot". Some of his family and friends admonished him for saying crazy shit online even though many of them had similar viewpoints. https://www.scribd.com/document/638145231/Court-filing-in-Daniel-Perry-case The funniest part is on pg 6: Enchantress: "You started being racist first." Outgoing message (Perry): "You said my face looked like mash potatoes you might as well called me a lard ass with a face so ugly it looks like a bowl of potato's." Enchantress: "Calling someone mash potato isn't racist." Enchantress: "YOU actually started calling me racist names." Enchantress: "I don't call you mash potatoes to offend you! You called me names to offend me!" Enchantress: "You wanted to hurt my feelings! Otherwise you wouldn't have said those names." Enchantress: "After you started being racist so did I." Enchantress: "You shared to be racist and until you apologize we are breaking up." Outgoing message: "Look I don't want to lose you but calling me a mash potato is where I draw the line."
  8. Reminder that their record at the end of April 2022 was 11-10. Definitely trending that way, or worse, for April 2023. Can this team reel off an 11-gm winning streak like they did early last May and then finish May with a 32-18 overall record?
  9. hmmm that is weird. did Chas get cross with Dusty?
  10. Fucking Adolis
  11. yeah back in 1980-81
  12. Wrt the narrative that APD investigated and determined this was self defense, who made David Fugitt the lone authoritative voice? Since when does APD decide whether or not an accused person should be charged with a crime? Where exactly did he get his law degree? I said this three years ago--if any self-defense case should be heard by a jury, it's this one. Before we learned all the facts of the case, one could reasonably argue the case either way but it was unreasonable from the beginning to think that Fugitt alone gets to decide. Fuck that guy.
  13. Yep, many of the posters on this thread got it spectacularly wrong and were quick to defend this repugnant, violent incel while disregarding all the eyewitness testimony that said Foster never pointed his gun at Perry and Perry quickly shot him five times as he rolled down his window. Many of us posting here and on the cloak room thread called this one out accurately almost three years ago. Some DTers should take the threats and realities of right-wing political violence more seriously. (doubtful) Now Fox News and the idiot right-wing patriot online echo chamber are actively distorting critical facts in this case that have already been litigated and decided at trial, lying in the service of defending a racist shitbag convicted murderer. They are retelling the story as "BLM terrorist pointed AK 47 at Army sergeant working for Uber!" and "rogue Soros DA hid exculpatory evidence!!!" Sickening. By Perry's own admission to APD we know Foster never pointed his weapon at him, as the jury rightly concluded, and the accusation by the defense and former homicide detective Fugitt of prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Jose Garza has already been heard and ruled on by the judge in the case. Judge Brown denied all defense motions to dismiss, finding no evidence of criminal or egregious conduct by the prosecution. "Reading (Fugitt's) affidavit on its face, I do not find anything to be legally or criminally coercive," Brown said. "I am not prepared to jump across the chasm with you that (prosecutors) have engaged in some criminal conduct." All of this so-called exculpatory evidence was provided to the defense during discovery and all of the minutes of the grand jury testimony were turned over as well. Fugitt testified as a witness for the defense iirc, yet despite all of it.....the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict.
  14. If the shooter had been black and had killed a white BLM protester, Tucker Carlson would have never used his show to order Abbott to pardon a freshly convicted black man.
  15. Uhhhh my dude that's EXACTLY what happened.
  16. Garza's response to Abbott: In a state that believes in upholding the importance of the rule of law, the Governor’s statement that he will intervene in the legal proceedings surrounding the death of Garrett Foster is deeply troubling. In this case, a jury of twelve listened to testimony for nearly two weeks, upending their lives to painstakingly evaluate the evidence and arguments presented by both the State and the Defense. After hearing from civilian eyewitnesses and expert witnesses, and deliberating for over fifteen hours, they reached the unanimous decision that Daniel Perry did not kill Garrett Foster in self- defense and was guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. I thank them for their service and want them to know that their service and the service of every juror matters. In our legal system, a jury that gets to decide whether a defendant is guilty or innocent – not the Governor. Make no mistake, without intervention from the Governor, the defendant’s conviction would be reviewed by both state and federal courts who will examine the record to ensure that no legal errors were made at this level and that the evidence supported the conviction. Our constitution has built in protections to ensure that no defendant is convicted when the law or evidence does not support it, and this is a central tenant of our legal system. I want to thank the Foster family. I want them to know that the Travis County District Attorney’s office will continue to fight for a justice system that treats everyone equally, including Garrett Foster. I know how long they have waited for justice for Garrett and their family. I can imagine that justice must feel so elusive for them and right now, and for that, I am more sorry than words can express. The proceedings in the case of the State of Texas v. Perry are not yet concluded. Tomorrow morning, Criminal District Judge Clifford Brown will set a date for the sentencing hearing. At that the sentencing hearing, the Judge will be able to consider and evaluate additional evidence before sentencing Mr. Perry for the crime he committed. As this process continues, the Travis County District Attorney’s office will continue to fight to uphold the rule of law and to hold accountable people who commit acts of gun violence in our community.
  17. I think Abbott is posturing and trying to buy time until the right-wing lunatics move on the their next Big Mad White Aggrievement. In the event he actually follows through with this threat and interferes to free a convicted murderer, he may be lighting a powder keg in Austin.
  18. jfc stfu evan and put the booze down.
