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...

Now with Facebook and Twitter, one can find thousands of fellow morons who agree and, ergo, one must be right!

the answer is yes, for years. usually in the varrio, and usually the most wild of circs. most common form was cigarettes dipped in PCP, called sherms. but we would occasionally come across it in liquid form in jars, etc. the eyes of PCP users are different, their pupils are wild too, almost twitching but called hippus. it got so i could smell it from a distance, same with meth. i should've been a bird dog....

Far as I'm concerned, the creep that finds it okay to take someone against thier will, is the creep that nobody would miss when he's gone. Removing that from the gene pool doesn't seem like a large problem, to me. Especially if the 'remover' is the attempted victim.

Care to share your magical alternatives, Cool Guy? You can teach women all the self defense techniques under the sun (which I think is great to do), but it will still fall short when a woman is attacked by a much larger and often deranged individual....who, by the way, will most likely be armed himself.

Da fuq are you talking about? I didn't offer any solutions, ideas, or alternatives. I stated my opinion. If you don't like it, that's perfectly acceptable. But at least make your comment clear and understandable...

If someone is threatening my family or me, then yeah, I'm in favor of killing them. I'll do the job and I won't blink once

But just once, I would love to see someone making that choice admit that statistically, owning a gun makes you either no safer or, more likely, less safe.
Just ask Jamie Gilt, gun ownership advocate and proprietor of "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense," who almost got offed by her 4 year old a few hours after a gun advocacy meeting in the clear winner of "Most Ironic and Probably Karmically-Deserved Shootin'" of 2016. LINK

this weekend. Going home after an attack is what got Will Smith killed (spoiler!)

January 8th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
Yup, always a police station. Not even a lot crowded public places are as safe as people think...
January 8th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
faux mo. you're just trying to throw the cops off the trail.
busted!

I worry about her - but also my daughter, who often walks alone heading back to her dorm.
January 8th, 2018 at 9:34 AM ^
I think a lot of schools have volunteers to walk people home, don't they? Might be worth looking into.
January 8th, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
Not often enough, from my point of view.

It's worse when they don't recognize they are sick, and our society doesn't have more safegaurds in place to address said sicknesses
January 8th, 2018 at 9:30 AM ^
She has been found and is with police.
January 8th, 2018 at 9:39 AM ^
do you have a link? The latest I've seen is that they found her Jeep.

Looks like they founder and she's safe

It's an issue. The Katy Mills Mall by me in Katy has had some woman attacked in the parking lot with the one person distracts move and another comes from behind a car. My wife and kids won't go to a mall without me now.

Just to add, this was a really strange disappearance and may have been voluntary. She was seen at the Galleria just before 6:00PM yesterday by herself, after all her belongings and vehicle had been revcovered. Not to speculate, but she may have been having a mental breakdown of some sorts. It will be interesting to see if any more details are released.
January 8th, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
UPDATE: Our officers have found Ms. Roland in the Galleria area. She appears unharmed. She'll be taken to an area hospital for an evaluation. We are not providing the location where she was found or hospital at this time. More info to follow. #HouNews

I think that the comment section of just about any widely-read, free website is going to have pretty much the same ignorant, stupid comments. Fox News is no different. Plenty of crazies out there, and they all love to comment on the internet - check out Fox, CNN, MSNBC, or even a non-political page like ESPN or M-Live. Lots of crazies out there.

My favorites are the Dr Saturday comments. I've never had the misfortunate of stumbling upon a stupider and more racist bunch than the crew who read Yahoo Sports apparently
January 8th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
It's all of Yahoo. The commenters at Stormfront and Breitbart think Yahoo commenters are over-the-top racist.

Sounds like the Baylor crowd has turned its attention away from thier own football team...

Sounds like she's been found.
