"Damn, Aqib had to drop that Amazon bag"

I said it a couple times last season, dude was a really fun listen on game calls. He sounded really enthusiastic and of course, was super knowledgeable. Worse than that, though, someone lost their life...over a youth football game.

Houston still has lots of nice pockets. And real estate is still pretty doggone cheap so there's that! I couldn't imagine trying to afford my house here in another really big city.

Besides that? Yeah, people are getting dumber and more comfortable with being quite dumb. Identity politics is brutal. And, at least to me, people seem to think they're on Twitter no matter where they are: their jobs, public places, wherever.

I'm embarrassed with how people are turning politics to their religion.

And don't even start me on religion and how much sillier people have gotten with it. And again..its the comfort that gets to me. And if you ask ANY questions about it, you might get a 'cuz Jesus' answer, the convo is just over, and no one is going to 'learn' ANYTHING.

And if its not that, its race and sexual orientation/identity stuff. I think I grew up knowing that a bunch of white people would at least subconsciously think 'hey, I'm white...there's certain stuff I just expect to get/have over people who aren't white'. But now I look at it like lots of 'groups' do it too. And again, confident, brazen, and lurking around waiting to hop out of a bush to confront someone for not respecting their clique enough. Again, maybe its just me and I'm missing something as a dude who just shows up to shit trying to be decent to everyone and not just the people who think exactly like me or who are in the same categories as me.

But hell, is this Texas-specific? Regional? Worse in some areas than others?

everytime there's a storm (rain, snow, sleet whatever) it seems like the entire state suffers way more than it should

started using a first down marker to protect himself or use to fight back,
and that’s when Aqib’s brother drew his firearm and shot the referee several
times.

So I don’t think Aqib committed a crime in that instance. However, they can sue him
for his actions which led to the death of the referee.

What was his brother doing with a firearm at a youth football game,
and did he have a permit for it?

His defense is going to be that he felt his life and his brother’s life were in danger,
because the ref was using the first down marker as a weapon. I can’t imagine him
not being convicted for his savage and reckless act, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Maybe had he fired once he could define it as such, but he let off multiple shots.
It might not be murder 1, but it’s definitely manslaughter.

Edit: I watched another video with a different angle. Damn. He let off 5 shots.
He just might face a murder 1 count. Shooting someone 5 times while they aren’t a
threat (the ref was already falling backwards) could be defined as an intent to murder
someone…

basically all you have to do is convince 1 out of 12 products of the texas educational system that you had a reasonable fear for your life and you avoid conviction.

doesnt really matter who pursued/initiated/escalated/etc (going by the zimmerman case).

That’s what I was originally stating. You’re correct. But damn he let off 5
direct shots.

My heart dropped, because you knew he was instantly dead by being shot
like that at close range.
