  3. Mmm....this game seems about.....40 seconds longer than it should be
  4. The shooter committed a murder. Not manslaughter or something else. When you intentionally cause the death of an individual, it is murder under TPC Ch 19. The question is whether the murder is justified under chapter 9 TPC. A person may be able to use force or deadly force to protect themselves, another person, or property. You really need to analyze the facts chronologically. Some facts we don’t know, like whether the deceased was a trespasser. Did he have notice that his entry was forbidden, or receive notice and fail to depart? It is important to note that The shooter producing a weapon is force, not deadly force, per TPC Ch 9. He can probably use force to terminate a trespass. So the production of a weapon is probably legal. But the shooter just didn’t produce the weapon. Discharging the firearm in the ground is deadly force, an aggravated assault, and also the crime of disorderly conduct - discharge firearm. I don’t see any justification for that at the moment it occurred. This is significant for a couple reasons. One, if you are engaged in criminal activity, you lose the castle doctrine presumption and no duty to retreat instruction that you might have in a self defense case. Similarly, provocation, by firing into the ground by the deceased, causes the same legal consequences. Moreover, I don’t think this is a castle doctrine case anyway as element one of the defense is missing (attempt to enter or remove from occupied habitation, business or vehicle). So the shooter is going to have a jury decide his case without the benefit of the most favorable parts of the law regarding defensive use of force. And the jury can consider whether the failure to retreat was unreasonable. Basically straight up old school self defense law. Back to the chronology of the events. The production of a weapon is probably legal to terminate a trespass on land. The discharge of the firearm appears to be an unjustified aggravated assault. At that point the deceased, not the shooter, has a right of self defense. Grabbing or attempting to grab a firearm pointed at him seems like reasonable use of force in self defense, regardless of whether the deceased is guilty of provocation or not being in a place where he had a right to be or engaged in criminal trespass if that is found to be the case. It is still reasonable force if he is the victim of an unjustified aggravated assault. Keep in mind the STATE has to prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the use of force, or deadly force, to protect persons or property was NOT justified under Ch 9 TPC. It is not the defendants burden to prove his use of force was justified. I think the shooter has an uphill battle. The video makes him appear to be the first person who used force that was not justified.
  5. I got an M&P 45 for free, hadn't even bothered to shoot it for months, took it to the range and found it was damn fine handgun.
  6. If the D line has the most talented number of bodies, why not 4 down lineman?
  7. Morgantown is a great road trip whike I am in the area for Thanksgiving, I’m thankful I won’t be going to this game.
  8. god damn I love baseball NCs I'd take one in baseball and basketball if we were still Mack Brown Texas Football good but not 8-5 to 5-7 good for 10 years
  9. Probably but it’s like a Buccee’s sized block long store of shitty souvenirs. A place first timers from the Rust Belt would marvel at.
  10. We went a few weeks ago. Nonstop out of Austin on Southwest was great. We carried on so the airport was a breeze. USA transfers to the Puerto warez ferry was great. The island was a bit disappointing in that it seems to have grown a little bit more than we cared for. Especially by the ferry, it seems pretty Americanized. The food as usual was great. Javi’s was awesome, we did not make it over to Bastos. Playa Norte was real nice early but got packed with boats anchored too close. We got rain here and there late in the day but it was fine, my guy on the island made sure we had some party favors for chilling on the porch. Can’t wait to go again
  11. our guide was amazing: Mike van den Dobbelsteen at https://alliedvictorytours.com/ (100% 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor) We went from pretty much dawn to dusk for two days, and he'll take you to whatever you want to see and won't quit until you tap out. Encyclopedic knowledge, amazing story teller. Can't recommend the guy enough. we did all the stops listed here and a whole lot more: https://alliedvictorytours.com/private-d-day-tours-menu/full-day-american-d-day-tour/ like Brecourt Manor, bridge over the river Merderet in La Fiere (Saving Private Ryan story, embellished), Purple Heart Highway, drop points for 82nd and 101st, Longues Sur Mer battery, Saint Marie du Mont over Utah, Carentan, Arromonches and more Stayed in Bayeaux, accomodations were great at Hotel Reine Mathilde, best restaurant for the 3 weeks we were in Europe was probably La Rapiere in Bayeaux
  12. I have stood in that ditch at Brecourt Manor. Been to the house where Winters learns he is leading Easy before the attack. And much much more. The tour is life changing and I would do it all again tomorrow.

  15. That was the first college football game I attended.
  16. Seems like the whole family is a bunch of quitters
  17. For a short trip, Sonoma/Healdsburg - specifically Armstrong State Park, check out the redwoods, if open. The many trails around Bodega Bay. And of course the wine country. an even better option is stay in Springfield UT and hike Zion NP.
  18. The English Department is going lights and sirens to the Banks’ residence right meow.
  19. is this possible? Grab a bottle a vodka at the duty free and bring it thru customs to T&C without a $$$ hickey? also is the fish fry up and running? do you have the contact info for the driver? headed that way soon, thanks for all the recs that have been given....and if anyone has some more recent ones, they would be appreciated!
  20. We all knew this thread would end poorly Looking forward to @Elvis’s version of a “meet us at a bar for day drinking” thread
  21. Might have been my PSA 223 Wylde rec, I made it here multiple times. It is definitely my most accurate AR. Easy sub MOA shooting with Hornady Match ammo.
  22. I just rebuilt my herb garden, new bricks, brand new garden dirt, three kinds of lettuce, spinach, herbs, flowers and have a few trays of seedlings. Arugula and more spinach and lettuce The garden is full of tomatoes that I started from seed during the summer
  23. Is BJ Foster seeking a major in shoulder checks and a minor in missed tackles?
