Heard it's a record year for GOP officials resigning at various officer levels, perhaps there's a common theme to their struggles (other than with basic human decency)

In the last few months I've been enjoying the addition of PBS America to my telly. Not least because I now understand when Lisa Simpson makes reference to a documentary she has been watching on PBS.....anyway, I was watching this documentary on PBS the other night...
It was a very worthy and well sourced hour dealing with the US's first broken arrow over Alaska/Canada in 1945.
At the end there was a throwaway line that said since that first time, the US has suffered over 60 broken arrows.
....over 60. That's either 2 entire subs or one sub and 15 B-52's..?. I dunno the math. But FFS.
How many did they recover..?.

I see one of the S.American countries has recently lost a sub without trace so fair play, it does happen.

PBS has some great stuff on occasion. I usually enjoy Rick Steves traveling the globe.

If only the teachers had guns...perhaps more of the students too!

But he's really a nice kid at heart who just has some psychological issues because he was unpopular and bullied at school. :cry:

Apartheid, Zionists, psychopathic killers. Anyone else you'd like to cheer for while you're at it? :roll:

I don’t cheer for any of those, that’s your psychosis talking.

You fit the profile of these killers quite well, though. A maladjusted, lonely person who lives his life vicariously on the internet.

No, I just annoy you by condemning Apartheid, Zionism, American war crimes - and psychopathic killers. That's perfectly evident. 8-)

Wrong again.

I suggest a long and deep period of self-reflection, though I suspect you are in incapable of it.

Everyone following this Amber Guyger / Botham Jean thing? Is this just normal now?

I wouldn't say following, but it's an appalling set of events, and one can only hope it's competently investigated

I've only heard they quite reasonably took the investigation away from the office of the shooter. Where the Rangers are with it and why the seeming delay in making an arrest I don't know. I've also no idea what a competent defence might sound like

How about, "I was off my tits on meth and tripping balls when I saw a black man, so I shooted him in self defense".

This is why football players take a knee Mr. Precedent.

Yep. Blindingly obvious to most people.

There's more to this, imo. I think she knew him and the whole open door, dark apartment tale is bollocks. If you came home and your apt door was open, lights out and someone inside - why in God's name would you leave the lights out and walk into the darkness?

They have got her and his door locks which apparently store the most recent 200 lock/unlocks. If her door was unlocked minutes before this all happened then she's for the chop. If his lock was locked, then unlocked from the inside minutes before this all happened then she's for the chop.

I think this is being investigated earnestly.

It's coming out that she'd made noise complaints against him and there'd been arguments; I think you're right.

Mind, what kind of a country is it if she's looked at the situation and thought that she'd probably get away with it if she said she walked into the wrong apartment to find a black man there and so she shot him.

Wait, he wasn't protected from guns by virtue of having a gun? That makes no sense
