  1. Unless the video/pictures were before the shot, or from the roof jump not a rifle, or limpgate was bullshit?
  2. Shooter from yesterday. Of course he has a recent Felony gun charge dismissed. https://x.com/AustinJustice/status/1966188076990083215 https://x.com/AustinJustice/status/1966202298926817721 UPDATE on the man who opened fire at Zilker on Wednesday: The criminal, 30-year-old Brandon Thompson, was shooting at his girlfriend. She was shot in the back of the head. Thompson ran into Barton Hills and bursts into a random home, where the homeowner shot him. Thompson was then arrested. Thompson is originally from Mechanicsburg, Ohio and has been living in Austin for years, perhaps working as a chef. He lived in a four-bedroom house near McKinney State Park. I'm told by sources he was a constant menace to police and at one point evaded them with a stolen motorcycle. He was arrested 7 times before. All 10 previous charges were dismissed or declined by prosecutors, except for two breezy plea deals. At last reporting, his girlfriend was in critical condition and not expected to survive. Step one in gun control should be actually prosecuting gun crimes.
  3. Like the Boston bombers, guaranteed there are people who recognize him
  4. *enhanced or AI?? shirt looks different too
  5. 10 years of the dehumanization of those you disagree with makes it ok to murder them for the lunatic fringe. Two failed presidential assassinations and one successful political assassination bear that out. Evil is real. Simple as that
  6. Fucking hero. Was he prepared because of all of the public notices?
  7. Ball park guess on decibel reduction from a suppressed hunting rifle?
  8. this is the propaganda that breeds more left wing assasins
  9. Agree to disagree on the cause https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/26/economy/inflation-larry-summers-biden-fed May 27, 2021 New YorkCNN Business — Larry Summers is urging Washington to tap the brakes on stimulus — or risk unleashing a serious burst of inflation. In December 2020 the inflation rate was 1.4% with an average of 2.46% the previous 4 years 2020 2025
  10. Correct. Only the one machete attack at town lake i could find, my bad. At least they caught the serial rapist who was targeting females running on the trail. Austin’s machete mayhem — a few of many cases: Mar 25, 2022 – West Campus students witness a machete scare near 28th & Rio Grande as APD floods the scene. Apr 18, 2022 – A man walking his dog near a homeless camp at Elmont & Pleasant Valley is slashed in the armin a sudden attack. Early 2022 – Reports swirl of multiple machete assaults at the same Southeast Austin corner. Aug 21, 2023 – Outside the Austin Proper Hotel, a security guard is nearly bled out after an attacker grabs a machete from a suitcase and strikes, causing nerve damage. Jan 9, 2024 – A random ambush on the Lady Bird Lake trail leaves 19-year-old Seth Gott with severe head wounds and a mangled hand. Jun 28, 2025 – A bus stop clash in northeast Austin ends with a man’s hand slashed and a suspect arrested. Sep 9, 2025 – Downtown bus chaos: 63-year-old Ronald Lee Turner allegedly raises a machete at CapMetro passengers near Fourth & Lavaca before being arrested with the weapon in his bag. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/travis-county-prosecutors-rejecting-criminal-cases/269-e8e9b982-19ff-400e-a61a-769828ca3342 A new policy means Travis County prosecutors are rejecting hundreds of criminal cases The KVUE Defenders analyzed hundreds of cases thrown out between March 1 and June 30 of this year. Some of the more serious rejected felony charges include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault of a pregnant woman, aggravated robbery and more. During the four months analyzed, the Travis County District Attorney’s Office rejected 142 felony cases – a 735% increase from the same timeframe in 2020.
  11. Have you tried running the trail after dark? All of my female friends have stopped running after dark because it is not safe. and obligatroy In January 2024, a man named Seth Gott, 19, was attacked with a machete by a stranger on the Town Lake Trail near Auditorium Shores in Downtown Austin, Texas.
  12. Sadly the Town Lake running trail has done the complete opposite.
  13. 100% agree, but begs the question. The last 4 years saw an average of 4.95% inflation with a peak of 9%, the worst period for the working class since Nixon, was the problem the President as well? To combat this interest rates were increased and home mortgages went from sub 4 to +7% while home prices were still rising. This effectively shut out 80% of the country from the real estate market for the last 4 years and counting.
  14. Just realized Yak N Yeti closed. Now i am sad.
  15. lost by .2 in dynasty (was down 5 non ppr) Up 6 in league 2 against Moore, lost by 1 point. Moore was able to thread the needle to clinch two losses for me but the last play of the week was a dick punch
  16. Luckily UT is not waiting for APD to get their shit together. They know how dangerous west campus has become since Casar repealed the camping ban. Aug 26, 2025 UTPD Increases West Campus Patrol, Cross-Trains With APD To Enhance Safety AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas at Austin Police Department has expanded its patrols to enhance safety for UT students who live in Austin’s West Campus neighborhood and thousands of employees and visitors who frequent it. Building on years of safety investments in West Campus and last year’s addition of the UTPD West Campus substation, UT police officers, in coordination with assigned officers from the Austin Police Department, will increase law enforcement visibility and coverage to improve safety.
  17. Brisket is right. APD is neither blameless nor good at their jobs. This was true before Garza, during Garza and probably after Garza. That variable has remained constant. The variable that has changed is the DA, and to his credit, he has done exactly what he has said he would do “reimagining criminal justice”. On those rare occasions APD does get around to arresting criminals they are not held accountable and are back at it in record time. Study after study shows recidivist are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime, incentivizing it has had predictable results. High crime is a policy choice.
  18. Cant find a full list of lap times by driver for the past race, but Oscar was absolutely hunting down Norris before the pit decision.
  19. Mclaren was giving Norris the #1 treatment to start the season, but Piastri was just better.
