I'm kind of surprised this did not happen more often when I was a kid.

I went to a really large high school in Texas. I can't even keep track of all of the damn cliques that school had. Anyway, the goth kids were pretty much treated like shit so I don't even know where they congregated together with each other on campus to avoid people. The girls paid no attention to them, and the dudes just acted like they weren't even there. Looking back, I'm kind of surprised some of them didn't get together and decide to mow down some people at the school. Or maybe they did, and just never followed through with it.

He missed all six times. We never found out why but he was never seen again. The family left the town about a month later. For the record, this was the 1960s.

Far from a legal expert here, but what came to mind was the judge in the Chauvin case tacking on additional charges. Committing a heinous crime in full view of a child.

At the sentencing, I think.

Totally different circumstances, but my point being that it's not as binary as a win or loss. Almost like adding points after the last whistle because the other team sucked so bad.

Am I reading your question correctly? Originally Posted by eccieuser9500

I would guess she lived a long life because if it was her time to go soon, that would have definitely been the day... and out of morbid curiosity, I wonder what happened to that kid. If you do crazy shit like that when you are that young, it makes me wonder what the fuck you are capable of doing when you are an adult.

Gotta feel for Georgia fans a bit. They thought it was their year. The so called experts told them that it was their year. Then Bama comes knocking on your door and you get the same thing they always give you - an ass whoopin. And then you probably make the college playoffs, and your hangover briefly goes away, and then you get that same ass whoopin you just received a month earlier by the same damn team.

It's gotta suck being the SEC stepchild to Bama all of the time. You know you're a part of the family, but not really. You just want a slice of the pie for once, but Saban doesn't share any of that pie with his SEC competition when it matters most.

Probably not but I had already moved on to Junior High when that happened. Like I said, we (at least the children) never heard what happened to that family or kid. He would be about 58 years old now.

There seems to be a sea change beginning and Covid19 drives it.

The derangement driving the current disaster is painfully obvious on this board as merely a scratching of the surface. The Whiners on here can't even tie their shoes, much less run a one-car funeral. They can name-call, ridicule, and lie. That's it!

oeb did a similar thing where he injected DPST into every post. Is that your plan here counselor? To mention me in every post?

Interesting how you have already jumped the gun and convicted this couple without even a trial.

It seems you are now in the prediction business. Congratulations.
