Times are different now. Schools have active shooter drills. Heck, Oxford happened a few weeks ago. Kids know that they aren’t allowed to have a gun if they are a minor and they damn well know not to bring it on school property. My 10 year old knows she can’t bring a gun on school property. This is also not jay walking or going over the speed limit. I’m also not sure why you seem to be more concerned about the kid incriminating himself.

I'm just saying if it was me I would have kept my mouth shut. There are lots of rules/laws that get broken that cause no harm to anyone. No reason to get yourself in trouble over it.

I would say he needs to not break the law. 

Not saying he should be doing that,  but in high school, unless someone told me what the law was I would have had no idea.  

We are all innocent until proven guilty. No reason to self incriminate.  

The average American breaks 3 laws a day unknowingly.

Literally just received a notification from our High School that a kid made a teacher aware that he had a hunting rifle in his car this morning.  

There was no threat and nobody was hurt. But again, why is a minor carrying a gun in his car that is parked on school property?

Stupidity.

When I was in high school I either had a bow, shotgun, or muzzleloader covered up in the backseat of my truck depending on the season.  

I parked off of school property and didn't say a word to anyone about it. I do believe the laws for possession by a minor were different then 

As for this kid, it's not general firearm season so who knows.  He needs to learn to not volunteer information.

I will be playing for and finishing 7th.

I thought Bob Marley said that. haha. 

Bigger mind warp: nobody agrees what category they fall into, or has an ego to handle the notion that they are the ones being fooled. The human psyche is flawed in the sense that we believe what we want to believe, not necessarily what is true. 

This of course is not anything new, but when loads mis/disinformation get pumped out into the ether every second, people find new theories to grasp on to, which furthers that divide. I fear a day is coming when we are numb to all objectivity and we resemble the society in Idiocracy. 

What if a person, thinking someone else is being fooled, is being fooled into thinking their not being fooled by some other fool?

Sometimes going through life like Frito from idiocracy seems like alot easier way to do it. I like money too after all.

The Chinese manipulate us only because we allow it to happen.  We need to look inward, not outward, at solutions for the issues before us. 

Parents have responsibility to teach their kids right from wrong.  Yet, 90% of the time a juvenile commits a serious crime in this country, mom, dad, aunt, uncle are on the news pleading for forgiveness and talking about what a 'good boy' Jr. is.  

Parents know bad things come from media like Tik-Tok, yet they dont talk to their kids about responsible behavior when using social media.  

And, dont get me started on the irresponsible media, with virtually every outlet being agenda driven instead of simply reporting the news.  Yet, we latch onto the bias that comes out of these outlets (noth ends of the political spectrum) and refuse to understand we are being manipulated.

And, finally, as it specifically relates to this thread.  A society that allows juveniles easy, unsupervised, access to any type of gun is broken.  Again, that typically falls on parents.

I had access to just about anything I wanted growing up.  Obviously things are different now and if I had kids would not allow the access I had. Maybe part parenting and part of me just being me but I would never have imagined doing harm to anyone. 

And not being a parent I don't know but most of these kids that commit these acts are weird. Do these parents not notice their kids are weirdos?

I think we need to look at anything involving the Chinese and their government...

I saw yesterday where DJI drones went on the US blacklist...makes you wonder how far they are into all of this, including the pandemic...

Agreed. I think people seriously underestimate or don't realize how deeply embedded the CCP is in US government, tech and education.  It is beyond me why we allow them to be educated in our universities.  

Should have let MacArthur bomb them into the stone age when we had the chance. 

Dang, all I have is a Samsung sound bar from China mart. I might need to upgrade. 

Remember when Sherron Wilkerson punched Harris Mujanovic in the face?  I do. 

Wife is going to harness train a cat. Ha! Good luck. This is our cat Tyson she wants to train. I named her after Mike Tyson because my favorite animal is a tiger, Mike had tigers, and she kind of has tiger stripes. 

She doesn't look thrilled. 

This is one of 2 we kept from the litter we saved. This thing was once no bigger than my thumb.

Ha, we can’t. They are a package deal and we can’t have three dogs. But, we will keep them safe and happy until someone wants them. 

Yeah, that's alot for a small big city apartment.  I don't have that much more space than you but do have the luxury of a yard.

Don't forget PU 1979 NIT runner up. 

The 1979 NIT Champs IU 53-52. 

Thank you Butch Carter. 

And if we are talking final fours. IU was there in 1973 too.

sorry @Stlboiler23

Thank you Butch Carter. 

I like it.  Although we haven't played them very many times IU beat them in 1940 and 1953 NCAA Championship game. Most of the rest of the meetings have been in the tournament.

uk(undercase for lack of respect) is our traditional rival.  But I respect KU and wouldn't mind this becoming an annual home and home. Want to be the best play the best and win!

Just to make a point in regards to the narrative that climate change is fueling the increase in tornadic activity and severity this is another case of agencies wanting more government funding changing data and manipulating it to make a problem seem worse. NOAH tells you that since the 90's tornadic activity has skyrocketed....well of course because before then we didn't have the technology to even track all the activity....then even more recently we started to change the definition of what a tornado was on these scales and started sending people out even when there was no structural damage to homes etc to count tornado damage to even uninhabited areas by measure tree and other things effected when no one even counted these things many years ago. So of course the numbers seem to skyrocket because now we have the technology to count everything that happens and nobody bothered to do so in the past going off those old newspaper records if no one was effected by it. Heck if we look at EF3 and more severe the numbers are actually going down. Don't get me wrong our weather and climate is always changing etc but to try to tie everything back to global warming is just getting old. Now we are finding out we have a bunch of cuckoo heads out there in California arsonists starting more and more fires....well maybe they are right about one thing....it's definitely man's fault for it!!

Anyone who thinks global warming is responsible for tornadoes in any capacity is foolish.  Like you said, technology plays a major role. Did they have amatuer weather spotters 30-40 years ago, or tornado chasers?  Or satellite images that are hi res? I remember watching channel 2 with those grainy radar images trying to track storms. 

They obviously have no understanding of the weather conditions that create tornadoes.

Fortunately they didn't come close enough but in 1990 I was at my Dad's house in Ireland, IN in the path when 2 F4 tornadoes passed through, one of which drilled Petersburg, and in 2005 was at USI when an F3 in November took out some trailer parks on the south side of the I-164 bypass. 

Have also seen a few funnel clouds, and my last job almost had one touchdown right on top of us.

How are you enjoying it? 

It tickles more than I thought it would and the water could be warmer but overall, not bad.🤪

Testicuzzi, yeah it's real.

That looked creepy as hell. And while watching that car suddenly appears...

It looked like something out of Wizard of Oz ....just crazy.

I just looked up where Sacramento, KY is. It's close to Owensboro so the video is toward the end of the tornados path. Just insane. 

I'm going to post one more video because I find it interesting.  

Mayfield, KY seems to be similar to the town I grew up in. About 10,000 people with an immigrant population. 

Have seen multiple videos from the Mayfield factory where people say we just had a hurricane.  

I wonder if any of these people ever experienced a tornado. 

In the following video the kid says hurricane and corrects himself and says tornado. 

Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to not know what a tornado is? @3:03

I know we like to give Kentucky alot of shit, deservedly.  But saw somewhere where the Eville, Henderson Ohio River Bridge had alot of Hoosiers, linemen, first responders crossing the river to help. I'd volunteer if I had any PTO days left. 

America first. We take care of our neighbors, even if we don't like them sometimes.  

I was at USI in Evansville for this

and my birthday earthquake on April 18, 2008!

Video of the tornado somewhere in Kentucky
