Is anyone surprised?

Unfortunately no, not really.

The equipment that was obtained here was given to them through a grant program. It didn't cost the tax payers a dime. I've only seen it actually used once, rest of the time it's used in parades and local events for show. Didn't cost the taxpayers a dime? So this equipment magically appeared without...

Once the groundswell starts, there is no way to predict where it will end. Sixty days ago, none of this was realistically on the horizon--there were some protests and rhetoric about symbols of oppression but not much action. In one evening, all that changed because of Charlottesville. Within one wee...

Let's not even talk about Louisiana. One of the all time great political slogans: Edwin Edwards when an opponent running against him for Governor was slamming him for all his shady deals had bumper stickers put out that said "I'd rather be corrupt than inept" --he won handily. In 1983 run...

It's very easy to keyboard quarterback, a situation while sitting in a well lit, room, with much more facts than police had, who were answering this call. I am not going to defend, or condemn, the LEO in question, until more facts are present. But I know that at night, in an unfamiliar place, with ...

Sadly, this is not that uncommon in the last 15-20 years. It really accelerated with the increased use of "no-knock" warrants in the "War on Drugs" which has created a conglomeration of 3 and 4 letter agencies and departments with ever increasing size and out of control budgets a...

Message has to be sent from the top that as LEO's, especially Ranger, you better be an example and an advocate on how someone ought to behave and conduct ones self in public eye. :iagree: I prefaced my opinion that he be demoted and evaluated with "at the very least". A couple of other sc...

On the recording, the DPS officer told the Round Rock officer that the driver "goes around me real fast, shoots me the bird then sideswipes my truck". That last part wasn't true--he did not sideswipe the truck--lie #1. Ranger states he only got out of his truck to talk to the driver, he de...

[So to me these two posts prove to me that elected officials in Texas are the same as those in every other state. Despite their platitudes about helping the people their primary reason for being is to ensure their own permanent place at the taxpayers' teat. They dole out freebies and pieces of our ...

Texas legislators are among the lowest paid in the nation. I suspect with high probability that 100% of them would make more money doing their regular jobs over what they get paid for a Regular Session, and if it's not 100% then it's 98%. Nobody is stringing out the Regular Session just so he can g...

Personally I would rather ride a bike than be on 4 wheels on that road. A little more maneuverability, I think anyway, and it was a lot more fun I hear ya'...Kawasaki Concours here, but Wife refuses to ride with me. My first trip to Ouray was on our honeymoon--she'd gone there every summer for year...

I would guess that I was mistaken but sure looked to be caribou horns and they were quite close. Close enough to tell they weren't elk unless very deformed I wouldn't be surprised if someone did buy some from a game preserve and then they got out. That one that got hit in 2006 had a orange plastic ...

If there were Caribou around Telluride they were transplanted from a game preserve--there are no wild caribou in Colorado. The CO Division of Wildlife and the state veterinarian's office said they have no records of any caribou in Colorado. HOWEVER--a 350lb bull WAS hit and killed near LaSalle CO (a...

I've always liked the S&W snubbies. I keep one Model 34 .22 snub loaded with ratshot on a shelf by the patio door just for my wife to dispatch any snakes that decides to sun themselves in the open. I have two of them and they are amazingly accurate plinkers too. At my business office, I have a m...

Read Texas author Cormac McCarthy's Road. Won the 2007 Pullitzer for fiction for it's gritty dark portrayal of global cooling in a nuclear winter. Yeah bullets and food in the right containers. Takes place maybe 10 years after the apocalypse. Yes, we all have enough to last us 3 months, but what th...
