Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling saw his life blow up in a matter of days, and he would be ordered to sell the team by week's end. There's actually a new movie about it starring Ed O'Neil which looks pretty good.
- "The shooting occurred in the 3600 block of Las Vegas Trail, near Camp Bowie West Boulevard, the Fort Worth Police Department said in a post on X. Those shot were outside the location when a vehicle drove by."
- The number of DPS troopers involved in this yesterday afternoon at UTD was silly. And am I losing my mind, or does no one one realize that campus protests are about as American an apple pie? And the kids back then, whether the were protesting against Vietnam or in favor of civil rights, turned out to be on the right side of history.
- And police are cracking down on UCLA protestors this morning.
- A play involving two acts about the Columbia protestors:
- Act I: We had some outside terrorists on our hands!
- Act II: Campus police had actually encouraged students to buy that exact same lock to secure their bikes.
- New this morning from WFAA: That's a Northwest ISD school in Haslet right off 287.
- I found a Bridgeport connection in this story. "Hutchinson still faces a personal injury lawsuit in Dallas County brought against him by three women . . . . Each are seeking at least $1 million. Michelle Simpson Tuegel, an attorney representing the three women, told The Orange County Register she is 'heartened' a victim came forward in the California case and that it resulted in a criminal conviction."
- News from the bridge collapse situation in Baltimore.
- The national weatherman for ABC got booted off the set of Good Morning America last year and went to doing occasional segments for World News Tonight. Now he's doing nothing after being fired for his temper.
- There's a story about this very fast freshman from Northwest High School in today's Messenger. He's qualified for the 5A state meet in three running events.
- Incredibly legal nerdy stuff: Yesterday the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals decided a rather unremarkable case over whether a defendant was entitled to a certain "voluntariness" jury instruction. What is notable is that the case had been pending in the court since March of 2020 (!) when it agreed to hear the case. There were no dissents. So what exactly took so long?
