If Texas is like most state then an officer actually has to witness a traffic violation. Hence the metric ton of crazy stuff on youtube that never results in traffic tickets. They can wag their finger all they like but they can’t do anything to the riders if that is the case.

So the deal is we work on instant deadlines now due to live blogging during the game. When this went down I was shooting for a large daily that needed photos of impact plays ASAP. So if the guy runs it back 100 yards and you don’t have the frame editors are going to want to know why.

Also there is a HUGE difference…

I actually don’t have to work with CRC but another company. I never said anything about the company. Just that these types of “security” employees are jokes. I have no problem with the companies or the idea of security just execution. A school I cover fired the private security company after they were fined 50k plus…

Patrick, What is the average fine for storming the field at NCAA these days? Find that out and you will find that the NCAA rules have basically helped create this monster by pushing pretty extreme penalties on schools that don’t control the crowd which in turn has forced schools to resort to the lowest bidder to…

In most cases there is in fact a very very large “real” security contingent on hand at major events. I have covered tons of events and always felt secure and it has had nothing to do with the guys wearing the yellow vest.

If anything these “security” guys are a security threat. At most places they are not vetted and…

The guy was keeping me and several other guys from doing our jobs. We don’t go to games for fun. We are paid to be there. A three minute delay puts me behind my compeitiors who now may be going to transmit their first take.

The frustrating thing is that 99% of the schools and teams have media relations crews (all who…

99% these guys are jokes. I actually saw one almost arrested by the real police for carrying a flashlight taser into the stadium. The state I live in does not require them be bonded or certified as actual security guard so they honestly are people who just answered a craigslist ad or got assigned to it at a place like…

Just no... One were not going to EVER intentally give away the position on a SSBN as a show of force. Those boats are not that fast or quite. The Russans would have hunter/killers pinging them the entire way back to their home ports.

The US might use strong langauge if Putin strikes Turkey but what will happen next…

They were running ground attacks. The same could be said for our A-10’s They are pretty much bomb trucks. They get the job done and I wager the Turkish pilots knew what type of aircraft they were engaging. I highly doubt the Turkish pilots would have tangled if it was a Mig or an SU-35. I would expect Russian attack…

Most newer Sam's have a proximity trigger. If you have seen Behind Enemy Lines they have a screwed up Hollywood rendition of a double digit Eastern Block sam taking down an F-18 with a frag warhead.

Bigger version of that photo and a few more. There is a couple of before and afters below.

This was the scene when the US scored a few minutes before.

I was actually covering this at the Keg and Barrel in Hattiesburg when this happened (top video)

UFB.... I guess owning a nice pen and note pad makes you as good of a writer as Matt Hinton......Go try to shoot a photo that is even remotely usable with no experience or talent and let us know how that works out for you. ...
