    Yes there is.

     

    Throw a pick and it gets returned? You lose.


    Fumble and it gets returned? You lose. 

     

     

    There is no world in which a FG for Houston would come into play. Any play that gets them into field goal range would take all the time off the clock.

     

    Exactly right.

     

    Just take a knee. 


    They already had a punt blocked.  An XP block returned does the same thing. 

  2. I’ve volunteered with groups that help the homeless. 
     

    The sad truth is most of them don’t want to be off the streets.  
     

    The even sadder truth is that many of them have severe mental illness and/or drug addiction. 

     

    States like California allot tons of money to NGO’s for the homeless, with no accounting on where it goes and no results to speak of. 
     

    What Kilmeade said was absurd and dehumanizing.  
     

    And if our elected leaders don’t start keeping people safe, his comment.. as callous as it is.. won’t sound so crazy to a growing number of people.

    Our strength n conditioning staff suck


    It’s more the players we choose to rely on. 
     

    Taron Johnson is constantly banged up and now nearing the end, likely 1-2 more good years.  
     

    Matt Milano is hurt all the time. 
     

    Ed Oliver was just bad luck. 
     

    We shouldn’t be shocked when guys who are constantly injured, get injured.

    We’ll have to disagree on the numbers but there is no way to believe that trans community has a disproportionate number among shooters, and even if they did, it would be what?, 1.5 or 2 shooters out of 1000?  

     

    What about the other 998 - or to make even better for you, 975?  If you deported all the trans people it would barely make a dent in our mass shooting problem. 

     

    The same is for so-called trans sex crimes against kids. There are fewer trans sex crimes than then the population. Yet, you wont hear the right try to outlaw religious institutions or sports organizations.  Sure, the right would like to eliminate public education but at the moment all the blame is on the trans community. 

     

    What accounts for the psychotic fixtation on the trans community?

     

    Moreover, what the right thinks as “threats” certainly hasn't translated into actions - while actual crime AGAINST the trans community have increased expodentially - not to mention credible threats of violence and economic harm and verbal harassment. 

     

    The Trans xommunih just want to be left to live their lives but the community is under constant threats, prejudice and very real physical harm. And that's from our government, not to mention right wing media and the very people on this board.  

     

    Would you be surprised if they all felt threatened? 

     

    Noe of this information is true. Libs of Tick Tock. Are you joking. Find anyone with a shred of credibility.  Why don't you just say you Dad said it was true?

     

    BTW, you missed the entire point and didn't provide anything to prove that trans people are disproportionately violent. We’ll assume the rants against trans community is based on hate. 


    If the trans community just wanted to be left alone, I’d say leave them alone.

     

    I have no issue with an adult trans person who feel their true identity is that of another gender and acts as such. 
     

    I wouldn’t discriminate against them, and I think you’d notice in my posts, I also refer to them as they wish… for instance, I’m not purposefully calling the trans gf of the killer a man.. she identified as a woman, and I’m pretty sure if you look at my posts, that’s how I referred to her. 
     

    That said, as a movement, they don’t want to be “left alone”.  We have drag queen story hours for children antagonistically thrown in our faces.   We have children, who don’t know any better, making irreversible choices for their body.  We have biological men playing women’s sports and in women’s locker rooms. 
     

    80% of America does not like any of that.  So it’s not just “we want to be left alone” … a lot of conservatives, like me, would have zero issue with the community if that was the case.

    I appreciate the thoughtful post, but the numbers are not correct. There have been two verified trans “mass” shooters, both were at a school.  

     

    They make up .11% - that means that statistically, in 2000 lmass shootings”over the past 10 years, two of them were committees by trans people.  

     

    Depending on the survey, trans people make up .5% to 1.1% or the population over 12 years old. 

     

    Either number means that a trans people are far less mass shooters than its population. 

     

    The question is, why is the right wing and GOP so fixated on trans shooters and not the rest?


    I disagree with your numbers.. I pulled mine from the AP, which right wingers dispute, but it’s a number to go off of. 
     

    To answer your questions about RW fixation on trans shooters, probably because of Covington Catholic.   Most mass shootings have simply been angry, loner kid shoots up school.  Covington Catholic was a targeted attack on the faith most RW hold, and to top it off, the authorities and media played games with the investigation and transparency due to the nature of the shooter .. which incensed the right.  
     

    Theres also a ton of violent threats from the far left trans community towards the right on social media.  The RW certainly takes notice of that.  Specifically death threats towards conservative leaders… like Charlie Kirk.

    I the past 10 years, trans people have accounted for POINT one one percent of mass shootings.  

     

    That's it. What about the other 99.89%? 

     

    Why concentrate is all the focus on trnas people?  It makes no sense at all. Unless safety is not the motivation.  


    Yea, the others are a problem too.  White people shooting up schools, black gang violence… we have something seriously wrong in this country. 
     

    I won’t sugarcoat or absolve any of that. 
     

    I will say there has pretty much been a trans/non-binary mass shooting per year over the last 7 years, culminating with what is probably going to a very difficult national conversation once the details of the Kirk assassination come out. 
     

    Trans/non-binary identifying people are exploding in numbers and we have a clear trend of violence over the past few years.  It needs to be addressed.. and it likely will be once the details of this story are fleshed out.  
     

    1% of the population can’t be committing a mass shooting per year since 2018 and nobody notices.

    Holy Sh!!t, dude! Are you that stupid?

     

    It’s the exact opposite. 

     

    Bring your numbers. Go on. Put up your proof other than your hate filled made, “if feel this is true” nonsense. 

     

    All you facists Klan-like haters are all the same. Just make it up if the facts don't comport to your feelings. 


    There have been 5 verified mass shootings (debatably more, but I’ll acquiesce to that number) involving trans/non-binary people, since 2018. 

     

    And based on what’s floating around X, you’re really not going to like where this investigation of Charlie Kirk’s murder goes.  
     

    That’s an obscene number for 1% of the population in such a short period of time.

    There is NO evidence to back any of your claims. “Trans” shooters make up .11 percent (for you math majors, that’s “point one one percent) of mass shooters over the past decade.  

     

    Even if you want to bend the stats and narrow the incidents to very recent school shootings, its not even one percent of shooters. 

     

    Lets say you supported Trump’s idea of banning trans from owning weapons - or better yet - deported them all, how do you suggest stopping the 99% of school shootings?

     

    Of course you wont have a viable answer, because it’s not about protecting children from trans citizens, it’s about formulating hate.

     

     


    Hard to take your math seriously when trans people make up a minuscule amount of the population, yet have committed a very disproportionate number of shootings in recent years.
