I moved to Austin 35 years ago. At that time the culture was “cosmic cowboy.” IOW, laid back for sure but still recognizably Texan. It now has a generic west coast culture with nothing unique or creative to offer. Fortunately, we live outside the city limits.

OK, that’s funny.

San Francisco and Austin are also known for other, similar things. The contrast is more shocking, as it’s only a 3 hour drive from Houston which even as a blue city, is still America. Austin is way over the line.

Austin is going to doom spiral. Just because Austin is in Texas, doesn't mean TEXAS conquers the stupidity of the average Austin voter who belongs in. another. state.

Now, conservative Texas leaders should be quietly promoting Austin's downfall, and given the Rangers withdrawal earlier this year without objection to the garbage that was thrown at them, that is what. is. happening.

And that is exactly what it will take to stomp out Austin as a Soros 'enterprise zone' -- the rest of the state has always had ghetto 'corners' but never a neo-Marxist 'enterprise zone', and that shit has GOT TO GO. If I never get the opportunity to applaud the sunset at Oasis again, I can live with it.

I have a better idea. Always be armed. Shoot the robber and move on

And this sentence was in response to a BLM attacker set on shooting Sgt. Perry. Luckily Perry shot first in self defense. Yet HE was convicted of murder.

“Yet HE was convicted of murder.”

Which is the reason for the move on part. Unfortunately, he was caught where he could not escape without being identified.
