Random Friday Morning Thoughts




Bridgeport Index, 1954.  Crime stories back then were action packed. 


  •  I presume there was more to it last night than just "smoke showing from the chimney."

  • Thanksgiving gone awry: 
    • On Wednesday evening:

    • "Two people are dead, another critically wounded in a shooting along Broadmoor Drive in Fort Worth" last night. Fox4Terry was there.

    • Also last night.  This was an argument between two guys "who knew each other" with the shooting happening in a residential neighborhood.


  • Legal stuff with a local flavor: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals threw out the confession of a juvenile on Wednesday due to the investigative techniques of a former Texas Ranger who used to be assigned to Wise County.
  • I found the best paragraph for you. 


     
  • At the Hilton Garden Inn in Houston on Wednesday.

  • He's now officially gone.  Alternative headline: Man Ends Cushy Job, Panics Over Loss of Outrageous Salary:

  • Elon Musk sitting by Trump at Thanksgiving while "YMCA" is blasting.  Painful video.

  • I first became aware of her because of this video showing her typing up Trump's tweets as he dictated them.  But I didn't know she also funneled what was going on in social media to him unabated, Gift link



  • The Business Second™. Not far from Wise County.



  • Legal stuff: Actual notice under the glass at the counsel table at the Nebraska Supreme Court.  Incredible. 

  • Oh, my.

  • Micah Parsons double dipping his turkey leg after taking a bite out of it is a crime against humanity.

  • Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 5 years and 147 days.
