    This isn't the only thing that makes me ashamed to be a Texan.

    Of all the states I've been in, (Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky,) Texas takes the cake when it comes to being proud of ignorance and violence.

    I can't wait to get out of here, and get to a place where people aren't stupid on a massive scale, and where the weather is at least somewhat tolerable.

    I'm so ashamed of Texas. No wonder Pearl Jam skipped this shithole last time around. I would have too.

    Oh fuck yeah...

    I would just like to say that the incident had absolutely nothing to do with the Juneteenth celebration like the national new reported. The celebration was blocks away from where the incident happened. Yes, the national news reported false information...surprised?
    Also, they didn't just run over the child, I believe the car they were in looked like a car that had run over a child, so they assumed it was the people who ran over the child. Either way, it's fucked, I know.
    Now everyone's bitching because the paramedics stayed back until police made sure it was safe for them to help the guy, which is what they do in all violent situations. I guess they think they could've saved him if they rushed in right away, which probably isn't the case.

    Just thought I'd throw some facts out there for you guys. I know it's a horrible story, and I'm ashamed, and surprised it happened in our city.

    Oh, yeah, and to all the people shittalking Texas(especially Texans), get over yourselves. I'm sure more violent things happen in cities like New York, Boston, etc. The only reason this got national news attention was because it was thought to be Juneteenth related. Seriously, Austin is a safe city. If you don't believe it, go somewhere else and try your luck.


    Ok, I'm done for real now hehe

    He was born in Connecticut, actually. He's as much a Texan as I am, and the only time I was ever there was the hour or so I spent at DFW Airport.
    Don't threaten me with a good time.

    I love how the media is trying not to make this a race issue when it is. This the problem with violent inner city thungs ganging up on those they don't like and blaming all of their problems and rage on other races.

    I second! It always makes me feel better when people say "steers and queers come from Texas" because it shows me that that person is way more ignorant than any Texan I have ever met................and there are some pretty ignorant ones out there, I will not deny that lol. Congrats to the people that make dumbass generalizing remarks for winning the stupidity race, though. :)

    Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

    Seriously, police believe 3 or 4 people were involved. Judge a whole city on the actions of 3 or 4 people? Dead man's family members say the support from the community "has been overwhelming".

    From Austin, high of 85 degrees tomorrow. End of June weather. Not so bad. Actually the only bad thing I have to say about Austin is that it's too damn crowded. So, go ahead and leave.
