  1. I was not implying you said it was. Sorry, I’m just venting. It’s frustrating. We’ve made our voice heard with our local and state officials while donating but besides taking work off and marching in front of the NRA and Congress, I don’t know what else can be done.
  2. I’m done, so sick of our lack of action. Little girls rubbing their dead friends blood on themselves to play dead…the bravery with survival tactics for a fuking child!!!! Why is this OK????!!!!????!!!!
  3. Kids were getting slaughtered while cops waited for the tactical team. That’s fairly clear by now. The exact timeline is still being pieced together. Look, the blame first and foremost is easy access to guns and military weapons. The murderer waited for his 18th birthday to buy them. He’s not committing the rampage with knife. Someone would have knocked his teeth out. But, since our love for guns and lack of gun laws are a complete joke…the next best defense is our brave men and women who are supposed to protect and serve the people and the community that pay their salaries. Now the politicians there want to spin it that “it could have been worse” and “gun control has nothing to do with this.” The entire tragedy is a failure on so many levels.
  4. It doesn’t look good: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/texas-police-lieutenant-says-cops-were-reluctant-to-engage-gunman-because-they-couldve-been-shot/
  5. Oh it was a terrible swing but a 3w most likely falls short of the creek, even if it was the same swing. That’s what I meant. So a bad 3w still leaves you free from a penalty stroke where at worst you bogey and head to a playoff. Phil Mickelson made a similar mistake in at Wingfoot back in the mid 2000s when he was up by 1 on a relatively easier 18th hole than this and also took out his driver and shanked it way left into the tent and ended up with a double, and handed the trophy to Jeff Ogilvy. It’s probably the most iconic 72nd hole meltdown in a major, ever. This is right up there but the big name and experience of Phil’s blunder surpasses. Mito’s caddie should have stepped in especially for a young player…” hold on my man, let’s keep it short of the creek then long iron on or near the green. Easy two put or up and down for the trophy. No problem.”
  6. It’s hard not to politicize this when only the politicians can do something about it…and there’s a certain segment of them to which their souls are owned by the gun lobbyists so they deflect to hardening schools to arming teachers to suggesting a one door only point of entry. Anything else but stricter gun laws.
  7. It’s beyond comprehension nor should the majority need to construct anymore legitimate reasons for the do nothing congress to act. Call me skeptical though because I thought they’d act after Sandy Hook. And in Texas, it’s only gotten worse (looser gun laws).
  8. Not necessarily friend. First hand reports from parents have been adamant that armed officials stood outside while the terrorist was inside shooting, while they awaited the swat team. He was in there for a very long time. Too long.
  9. It was a perfect spring week, amout. Couldn’t draw it any better.
  10. It’s sickening to watch some of these politicians and media outlets continue to bend over with their hands tied behind their backs to the NRA while blaming everyone and everything else.
  11. And then of course the NRA has a gun ban for THEIR convention:
  12. The major COC stretch since 5/9 has certainly helped. Seasons behaving like seasons, be thankful for mid spring.
  13. Well the point is lets not wrap ourselves around a piece of paper written by a bunch of colonizers hundreds of years ago and say/think this is an unmovable “right” and thus it cannot be amended to calculate for present day life. Yes, people will always kill people but we can easily curb mass shootings and gun violence like so many other countries have.
  14. Yea and America does it the best with easy access to military style weapons.
  15. America, #1 baby….in gun violence and mass shootings. Oh and the amount of billionaires. Everything else, we’re at the bottom. But hey, don’t speak out about it because they’ll tell you to go back to where you came from or “if you don’t like it, leave.” The world watches and cringes again and again. It’s pathetic and shameful, yet we do nothing.
  16. It’s been here since April…remember the summeh has arrived and here to stay visions?
  17. I found it to be enjoyable actually. The inexperienced but talented up top with a top 5 player making a back 9 surge. Then the bonus 3hole playoff…
  18. Sure it would have, it would have been short of the creek. Driver brings it into play. He hit driver on Saturday there, great, but it’s sunday and you have a one shot lead. Let’s not pull a Phil Mickelson at the US Open…and that’s exactly what happened. Terrible course management but somewhat expected from the inexperience.
  19. Everyone is enjoying it. 67/48, another checkmark for the rooster.
  20. Some meltdowns but mostly Mito. I have no idea why his caddie didn’t hand him a 3w on the 18th tee.
  21. We did not have thunder, lightning, or rain. Just dangerous looking skies. Bust. Yea, everyone is out there enjoying this one today and more incoming. Spring.
