I won't be going anywhere near downtown at all this week. Turner doesn't have the cojones to squash it before it starts. The fact that he hasn't done some initial preparations shows he is a bit incompetent IMO.

I don't see anything important burning. I can see a group burning down stores in the hood and looting a Ross in one of the wards.
Yeah, taking a fatal dose of fentanyl and then fighting cops had nothing to do with it at all...smhOcean Of Funk said:
Sad state of affairs that we even have to wonder. Let's not forget Floyd is dead because he tried to buy some smokes with fake money.

Agree. Turner, HPD, then Chief Acevedo did a fantastic job. 600 arrests.aTm2004 said:
Nope. Turner, to his credit, set the tone last summer and I believe he'll do it again. We also have a new police chief, and I'd like to think he'll not allow this to be his first failure. But who knows.

Folks in Houston who are inclined towards that sort of thing also know that there are alot more people carrying guns around Houston than there are in portland or Mpls. And they know most juries down here are more likely to want to shake the hand of somebody who shoots a rioter than they are to convict them.

It is Slab Party Weekend in Galveston. The police were overwhelmed last year. I hope the verdict comes next week.

He did a tremendous amount for the city and there certainly aren't many better faces for a city than Watt.cajunaggie08 said:You've got to be the only person in the state of Texas glad to see JJ gone. How do you go through life being so miserable every day?Onceaggie2.0 said:

Football-wise i have zero issue with him moving on. Sentimentally I would have liked to see him be a Texan for life, but since he still feels he can contribute and there is a team out there willing to pay him, it is what it is. The Texans need to use that money to fill many roster holes rather than pay a big name who is past his prime.HtownAg92 said:He did a tremendous amount for the city and there certainly aren't many better faces for a city than Watt.cajunaggie08 said:You've got to be the only person in the state of Texas glad to see JJ gone.

But strictly football? His first few years were incredible, but once the hype really started to attach to him, he played to it. He became a huge self-promoter, often to the detriment of the team.
After his departure, word started getting out about him hurting the D by playing out of position to boost his sacks. Opposing offenses began to account for Watt running himself out of plays.
My turning point (again, football-wise only) was a playoff game, goal-line situation for the offense, when Watt essentially forced himself into the game -- helmet on, next to the coach, bouncing up and down, getting the crowd into it, with the camera on him. He got his wish and a critical play failed because it was obvious what was coming. That's on the coach for not having cajones somewhat, but Watt didn't need to put him in that position. Stay in your lane, do what's best for the team.
I'll see if I can find it.
Herbstreit is going to give John Boehner a clinic on how to ugly cry like a *****.Onceaggie2.0 said:
