Random Friday Morning Thoughts

And we would get to find out.

---

• The shooter was 16 years old, and a "community member" was the one who brought him down.
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• This youg man was from Azle.  After the hit, he was down on the field for over 45 minutes while first responders worked on him. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Story.  (The video is here but it's almost 4 hours long but the road side interaction is pretty crazy.)
  
  
  
  
• We don't know what is going on, but it has to be big if these two positions are involved.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Seems excessive. 
  
  
  
• Video of the leap.  Yep, the dog was careflighted to the vet, but he's back home and on the mend.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Democracy isn't supposed to have a $158,000.000(!) price tag: Elon Musk is single-handedly funding Ken Paxton.  And a friendly reminder that  SpaceX and Tesla are both based in Texas so  Musk couldn't possibly want anything for his money.
  
  
  
  
• We shouldn't trust this guy. At all. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Welcome to the Oligarchy.
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
• Trump decided that it wouldn't be good television. 
  
  
  
• ESPN would be smart to cut loose the most boring and overpaid play-by-play man in the business. 
  
  
• Legal nerdy stuff for you personal injury lawyers: Last night the Fort Worth Court of Appeals reversed a $55,000,000 verdict involving "Texas Live!" for a security guard hitting a guy in the head with a beer bottle.  It sounds like the plaintiffs' lawyer tried to make the case much simpler than what it was. 
• Lauren Whitener Clock: 7 years and 105 days.
