What you’re failing to understand, is that when you do it with trucks’n’gunz, it’s not a crime in texas. If that penne ante arsonist had simply strapped a glock to his thigh before chucking his homebrew molotovs, he’d be a free man today.

Who’s this “we”? Got a mouse in your pocket?
It was either political violence or domestic terrorism, take your pick for the terminology.
I guess there’s always a chance it will be written off as mental illness.

According to the article, we need more than that. Can anyone explain this?
Law enforcement said that the implied threat of future attacks spurred officers to move quickly.
“In case this suspect was planning further attacks, we could go ahead and get him off the street to prevent that,” Captain Jeffrey Deane of the Austin Fire Department’s arson investigation division said in a press conference.
Otherwise they were going to slow-walk it? Makes no sense!

The last one was new to me, God what an asshole, well all of them Katy. Each one in their own way dismissed woman, and the right to agency over their body. And I bet all of these rape apologists are against wearing a mask.

Faircloth also offered a confession, according to the affidavit, admitting to assembling the Molotov cocktail and confirming “his participation in the events described above from the surveillance video.”
Obviously not the brightest bulb in the box. Hard to think of how he could make his conviction easier for prosecutors.

I just started to post that Antone’s is long gone, but it’s like a cat with nine lives. And obviously I don’t ever go to Sixth Street, the location of its current incarnation.

Actually, it’s on 5th street now, near San Jacinto. The new old building is so much better than the last old building, which had terrible acoustics. Have never seen a country act at the current location, but lots of good funk, soul, rock, and Latin music.
