- I turned on Wimbledon for a second yesterday and caught Mrs. LL staring intently at the screen. Tennis fan? Nope. She wanted to know why it was necessary for the ball boys to sprint to get the ball once play stopped.
- If you were interested in the Denton prosecutors-being-fired story, you have got to read this from the Record Chronicle from over the weekend. At least one of them got a raw deal.
- Here is Channel 8's coverage of the teenager killed by a train in Alvord on Saturday. Photos included.
- Got caught in the weird rain storm when the sun was brightly shining yesterday. I've mentioned before that the weather oddity was referred to as "The Devil must be beating his wife" when I was a kid.
- I saw most of Road House for the first time yesterday. It may be the greatest bad movie of all time. Never have so many fights broken out in so many places.
- Chinese guy walking a tightrope backwards while blindfolded.What could go wrong?
- My next yard project was to put limestone edging around a tree. We're talking about a 10 foot by 10 foot square that is on a pretty good slope. Let's just say that after working on it all day Saturday I discovered that I am not an engineer.
- I've never seen players scramble off a baseball field like they did last night at the Ballpark in Arlington after the lightning strike. But it is funny to watch all the reactions.
- I may have lots of flaws but not being disciplined is not one of them.
- Mrs. LL will text one of the kids who is in another room from time to time. I guess it's better than yelling.
- Denton cops have now killed someone. Do you kill someone for simply not dropping a rifle when ordered?

Soooooooooooo the Denton guy had to aim or shoot at the cops first????? It always amazes me how people cannot grasp the simple concept that the police have to react to the actions of other people. The guy could have turned and fired before the officer even had a chance to pull his trigger because he is reacting. Plus, if you read the story, it said they told him to drop the rifle several times, but he refused.
The next comment will be: Why cant the police fire a warning shot.....
It still sucks that someone was killed, probably because they weren't in their right frame of mind for whatever reason. Sad.
Roadhouse was the movie that inspired me to change my life and be a better person.
The Jackal
We were at the Ranger game! I've ever heard a bomb, but I'm pretty sure that's what it sounds like! Players were funny!
I wonder if the tractor driver (pulling the tarp across Ranger Field during the storm) ever thought "I bet this roll bar acts just like a lightening rod".
Here is one command, from a police officer you should always follow. "Put the gun down" If you don't you usually get shot!
Sorry he was having a bad day but put the gun down dumb a__!
I too was at the Rangers game, in the third deck off first base. That is the LOUDEST sound I have ever heard!! Children were still crying even half an hour later, and lots of adults were visibly shaken as well. I didn't even see the footage of the players' reactions until I got home but if I could have run away, too, I would have. It was terrifying... but of course we still stayed! Go Rangers!
Current Denton DA is so much better than the last DA.
Sounds like this lady got jerked around and proved it to a jury.
Sounds like these asst DAs had it coming. Ironic that they are claiming they are innocent, much like many of the folks they prosecute.

Barry, sorry to be the grammarian this morning. Being disciplined relates to receiving a switch across your bare buttocks. Having discipline relates to a person who follows a rule of conduct and personal control.
Or did you really mean "being disciplined"?

trying to get that image out of my mind
It just occurred to me... With all the noise the media is making about Romney's wealth, I don't recall such bluster and hand-wringing over the Kennedy fortune. Or, for that matter, John Kerry. Or the fact that John Kerry gave virtually nothing to charity while Romney gave something on the order of $4 million...in addition to his entire inheritance from his father.
Oh. Wait. I just remembered. Romney is Republican. Kerry and the Kennedys are Democrats.
Also, Romney worked for his money. Kennedy inherited his. And Kerry married it. Oh Never mind.
Is this true?
Denton cops obviously forgot rule number one. As a police officer in today's society, apparently you have to raise your own hands and allow anyone with a gun to just shoot you dead.
The news reporter said Alvord right. Not Alvoid!
How is it that the print edition of the Dallas paper can give you the final score of last night's game, but the Fort Worth paper can't? Does electronic information traveling west take longer to get the fifteen or so miles than it does going east?
I can't believe you've never seen Roadhouse. It plays fairly regularly on TV. It's one of those can't-stop-watching bad movies. It's so bad, Jeff Healey was thankful for being blind (before he died), and didn't have to watch himself in it.
What was it Ron White said about the bouncers that tossed him out of the bar in NYC - that they probably pleasure themselves while watching this movie?
"The name...is Dalton!"
The suspect WAS aiming the rifle at the cops.
Napoli running off the field was hilarious, but not as funny as the first base coach. The most disturbing thing was the smell in the upper deck. Most people didn't bring an extra pair of pants.
Since you are always the skeptic...try this:
You and a buddy each get a rubber band and pull them back like your are going to launch them at each other.
Now, both of you lower your hands down by your waist. Stand about 20-25 feet apart from each other.
Now, have your buddy raise the rubber band and shoot it at your chest, whenever he is ready, but without signaling to you that he is about to do so.
Once your buddy begins to raise his rubber band to shoot you, you react and try to shoot him with your rubber band.
Want a hint on who gets hit first? Action is always faster than reaction.
Now, just for the sake of argument, lets run the same scenario without rubber bands. Lets use guns.
Willing to play the same game? Thought not.
So to answer your question about shooting someone who doesn't drop his rifle when ordered to do so, the answer is: You shoot them.

"I may have lots of flaws but not being disciplined is not one of them."
But using double negatives to confuse the blog readers is DEFINITELY one of them.
What's that gal got in her britches?
AND, you think the Denton officer should have waited until the other guy shot at him?
GEEZ.
but not being disciplined is not one of them
But not being a deft wordsmith is not one of them. Not.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Lil Barry.
I would like to see how Mr. Green would respond if someone had a rifle that was a potential threat.
Roadhouse is one of my favorite movies. Think how ridiculous and entertaining it is. Besides the fights they trash cars, drive a monster truck through a dealership, burn down a parts store, fire handguns inside a bar and murder people. The cops don't show up until the last scene for one comic line from Tinker.
P.S. Jimmy had it coming.
P.P.S. I want to party with Wade Garrett.
Ms. LL was telling you she was looking at the ball boys but she was really checking out Roger Federer, hottest tennis player ever!
9:27, you must of not read a newspaper while Kerry ran for president....Teresa's wealth was analyzed and Kerry eating habits, and aristicratic ways were made fun of daily.....guess you missed it.
it's been
alvoid fer 90 years . why do you change the pronunciation now?
Barry its time to come out and just say you HATE ANY POLICE. It hard to beleive that someone who has ever been a prosecutor could be this anti-police but thats just how F-up you are.
Hope you never need one becuase not sure if they would help you, considering you would do away with them all together.
I see that the Denton paper had to turn off commenting on the shooting story because of the amount of derp going on. Included in the comments were F the police by some guy and a girl suggesting that they should have shot this guy in the leg instead of killing him.
In regards to the yard project: hire a professional. Better for your back & marriage.

Does the devil have more than one wife?
Do people know that police are not trained to shoot to wound? They are trained to shoot to kill, if they are forced to discharge their weapon. If that weapon is un-holstered, it is because the officer fears for their life or the public safety. No trick shots like you see on tv. Just a double tap to the chest.

I'm glad I watched the Channel 8 piece by by Debbie Dedman. I would have never known the boy was killed with a train.
Do you kill someone for simply not dropping a rifle when ordered?
Yep.
The first one to the trigger wins.

The news reporter pronouned Alvord as Alvurd...locals say Alvoid...I not being native pronounce it Alvord. Either way it sure is a strange word...where did it come from?

This is America. One thing that makes that great is that Police come help who ever needs it. They are not sulective to the ones that agree with what they do. I do not agree with BG on most issues but know the Police have a great policy. You call they come. They don't ask a bunch of questions like do you support us.

First of all, that's not accurate. But even when they show, just remember that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Green,you'd shit your pants if you had to wear a uniform and make decisions that don't offer you the luxury of a few minutes to consider what you need to do before taking action.
Isn't it great to be in a position to take your sweet time and go over the facts with a fine tooth comb at a comfortable slow pace and then beat them down with it later?
Don't forget to put on your depends before strapping on the badge and belt,you'll need them.
Funny you typed this:

Landscaping leveling = string line
If you can Google hot chicks surely you can Google how to level with a string line.
Maybe not. :(
Shits ok but I guess leak isn't on the approved word list.
No rhyme,reason to what you approve or disapprove.
It's creepy to create Facebook pages in memory of dead people.
I worked w/ the Piels in Denton County and was also a resident victim in a case C. pile prosecuted. He and or they got what was coming. His mouth wrote checks his large butt could not cash!
Good job Denton PD! Everyone went home.
BG you are a couwerd! Purposefully mis-spelled to confuse your bain followers of misfortune, otherwise known as Wise County dumassians - also mis-spelled purposefully - Thank the Good Lord you are a little paper pushing weasel who never has to make a split decision in regard to life or death! Be thankful couwerd that your only decision is what color your wife will aint your toenails...douche couwerd!
" Do you kill someone for simply not dropping a rifle when ordered?"
Well, Mr. Green, there have been numerous instances of officers failing to shoot a guy who menaced with a rifle (note far more deadly than the officer's pistol), but failed to shoot him, and died for that oversight. For example, see this DPS trooper killed by an old man who wouldn't drop his rifle. Or check out this deputy sheriff who died after repeatedly telling a guy to put down the rifle.

Hey Bubear...
I don't think you'll be getting a Christmas Card from 3:59 this year.
If I were you, I would be happy about that.
Randy girl pic of the day:
My standards are pretty low, so I would definitely hit that, but I'd hate to see her backside. Don't get me wrong I enjoy doggie as much if not more than the next guy, but I dont prefer jello butt too much. Add to that, she looks like she may be sporting her own package.
On to an important question. Does the car washing blonde in the picture have a bulge in her bikini bottom?
Most of the ar-15 style rifles now shoot three round bursts.I like that!
Contrary to what the above fools have said about her, car-washing blonde is toight like a toiger!
