Especially not in Chicago.

Wow! That might be enough to make me start watching hockey. Thanks for the supplemental pictures.

Liberace wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing that coat. Looks like something designed by Nudie in the midst of a bad mushroom trip.

Is that Don Cherry in the pimp jacket?

In addition to the Mississippi conviction, Martin had been arrested six times in the Aurora Police Department, including once in 2008 for a domestic matter. He was also arrested in 2017 in nearby Oswego, Ill., for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.

Okay— thanks for the update. I will retire this particular line of criticism. As a longtime Kentucky fan I am genetically compelled to troll Duke grads at every opportunity.

I recall what Edwin Edwards said about how the only way he could lose his re-election bid was to get caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

The laws vary from state to state but a domestic violence arrest is an automatic flag on a gun permit application. It may not preclude you from eventually getting a gun legally but it is one of several things they ask when you apply for a license, along with questions about addiction and mental health treatment. This…

A couple of years ago we had a similar incident here in Louisiana where a Muslim girl claimed to have been assaulted on her college campus by some guys driving a pickup and wearing MAGA hats. It also turned out to have been a fabricated incident. I certainly understand the frustration people of color feel about how…

I thought sure one of the answers here was going to be “quit smoking so much weed”.

I am all for more stringent gun control. I am not for giving up my right to defend my home and my family against crazy people.

Since you know the area you might appreciate the irony of this— I moved to Lafayette ten years ago and got sober here. Love the geography, the food, and the music... just hate local politics.

I was zipping back and forth between a live game and another window during timeouts. And yes, because of some personal family history with Baylor and their being the hatching ground for Texas AG Ken Paxton, I was quick—-TOO quick— to leap to a conclusion. So I am wearing the idiot hat, but... Baylor still sucks.

I should have read better. I will wear the dunce cap for the rest of the day for all other posters to mock me. 

Never. Gonna. Happen.

She’ll probably demand that all foreign-born players be banned unless they pay their own way to the game.

He’s a Baylor coach— his reputation is already tarnished. Their athletic department has raised institutionalized fuckery to an art form.

It’s actually pretty scary how easy it is to acquire guns legally here in Louisiana, and to acquire a concealed-carry permit. But it’s like a chainsaw or any other dangerous tool, I guess... it may be a thing you hardly ever actually need, but when you DO need it it is indispensable. Life was so much simpler when I…

The ‘rationale’ will be that it’s unreasonable to expect the police to take a person’s gun away because the Second Amendment is a right that ‘shall not be infringed’. And this creates a huge dilemma— I am a gun owner, with two pistols and a shotgun in my house. I would dearly love to feel safe enough in my home to get…

The article also mentioned that the guy had been arrested SIX TIMES by the local PD in the last ten years, including a domestic violence arrest. Hard to see how this gets through the background check.
