Ya think?
That's where they came from.
Actually it is probably the citizens, rather the taxpayers, of NC who are really going to take it in the shorts, financially speaking. The DA is employed by the state so any liability rests with them.
It is possible that the pimps and drug dealers in Durham are going to see a loss of revenue.
I am hoping the justice department decides to take a close look at the good citizens of Durham.
I am also hoping the IRS takes a close look at Crystal’s tax returns.
You might know it as “Juneteenph.”
Honestly, I saw the headline and expected it to have taken place in Pakistan or India or some place where mob stuff happens. I am stunned this happened in Austin.
Geeze, you do the right thing and look what happens. Has it come to the point where a driver has to take his chances with a hit and run charge instead of taking a chance with his life?

There is a link to an article in the Stateman about the sister of the morded many that states that police are calling it an accident.
Or possibly inciting a riot. Maybe a hate crime, too.
I am no NO WAY defending the crowds action - somewhat suggested that the driver was getting away with something and I said “We don’t know that”. In any case, in another published report I see that police have called it an accident.
That happened at a Mardi Gras event in Seattle a few years back. (But the poor guy was just an innocent bystander, nothing provoked the attack.) I think, thanks to video footage, they did eventually get some of the thugs.
Austin may be a leftist town but they will not hesitate to hand down a death penalty or life in prison.
I though every second thursday was.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6!
OK, I give up.
What "teenth" is Juneteenth?
Thompson St. is a bit further east of the areas that are gentrifying. It's a bit east of the Boggy Creek greenbelt - between Pleasant Valley and Webberville roads.

Best in the land. Original location on Inwood road since 1910. Better show up before 11:30 or they will be sold out of some items. Indoor seating is limited but you are welcome to what you can find in the parking lot or woodpile out back.
It is an alternate paid holiday for state employees. That is one of others - Texas Independence Day, Good Friday (I think) and others.
State employees get a certain number of paid holidays per year. Any holiday that falls on weekends, they lose as a paid holiday.
The state holidays are: Texas Independence Day (3/2), San Jacinto Day (4/21), Emancipation Day (6/19), LBJ’s Birthday (8/27) and Confederate Heroes’ Day (1/19) which often falls on the same day as the observed Martin Luther King’s Birthday...
I'm not going to scream his name, but the DA is Ronnie Earle.
Thanks. I used to have state employees working for me years ago. That was the hardest thing to keep track of, and which ones they decided to take off.
