UPDATE: Found and safe. Texas A&M Reporter for Rivals Goes Missing, Possibly Abducted
Obviously OT, but related to college football... a female reporter for Rivals covering Texas A&M was on her way back from a football camp when she texted her roommate that someone was following her. Her car had been broken into some time prior as well, making her nervous. Her mother received this cryptic and horrifying text from her phone: "hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad."
I hope she's found safe. This is weird and scary stalker stuff, it sounds like...

She was found unharmed in Houston. There is no word on why she was taken, or even if she was taken.

Waiting for more details so my next comment is not "shot from the hip"

"Police said Roland was last seen wearing a Remington hat and camouflage."
Wish she had a Remington on her when this guy was trying to take her. Scary stuff as an mgoDad of a girl. Prayers for a safe return.

All these accounts created by OSU or MSU trolls seemed to start around Sept/Oct 2017 or later. MgoBlog users need to step up down voting them if they aren't going to get banned.

It's about time you just admitted you really miss FranklinHatchett, "brah!".

If I believed marijuana caused people to behave in the same manner that I've been led to believe people under the influence of PCP act, there is no way I would support legalization. Fortunately, that is not the case.

You have obviously never smoked a nice indica strain. Highly recommendable, Abe. And if you're in the mood to spice things up a bit, a nice sativa will do the trick.
It affects everyone differently, but I can tell you - if the world smoked more pot, there would be less crime. "Acting violent" is certainly NOT a side effect of marijuana.

Also, bad drivers don't obey traffic laws. We should stop having traffic laws.
January 8th, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
So stupid. There are gun laws in place, just like there are traffic laws in place. The 2A community isn't saying get rid of all gun laws. They're saying increasing the gun laws aren't going to help prevent bad guys from getting them, in the same way that increasing the traffic laws isn't going to help bad drivers obey traffic laws.
January 8th, 2018 at 1:25 PM ^
... you guys are on the same side. And I'm there with you both. More gun laws isn't going to change that the current ones don't work. It's like trying to re-build a house that collapsed without clearing the rubble first

dudes (and dudettes) on PCP are a handful, to put it mildly. it is a different kind of high and frequently violent and very difficult to deal with on the street.
January 8th, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
A busted clock is right twice a day. Honest Abe/WD doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. PCP may be nasty shit, but the scare associated with it has always been overblown. No dealer goes out and purchases large quantities of PCP in order to spike the marijuana they sell. Just...no. For anyone else, PCP is not exactly freely available. Everyone here either does or knows someone who drinks, smokes herb, snorts coke, has eaten mushrooms or acid. Has anyone ever told you they've done PCP now or in the past? Have you ever been at a spot where you have seen or been offered PCP? I think you mentioned that you have law enforcement experience, so the answer may be different for you XM, but for Abe Devotee, me, Koala dude, whomever, the answer there is no doubt a firm 'no'.

I am a college professor. I'm also from the Bronx. The South Bronx. I grew up there in the late 70s and early 80s, and lived there again in the early 90s. I've been in plenty of dangerous situations. You post under a variety of accounts on MGoBlog to upvote yourself. Oooooo, your life is so dangerous! Who's living in a bubble, kid?

We all have our moments of idiocy. I just hate to see an entire profession (professor, lawyer, farmer/law enforcement guy) stereotyped that way!
