I’m a born and bread Texan, proud of it. Don’t hold it against me. I‘m not a redneck, don’t drive a truck, wear a cowboy hat or own a horse and until this whole thread started had no idea what roll coal even meant? Do believe in the 2nd amendment and for those of us who have passed some training and background checks to be able to carry on my body while away from my house. The little s*it bag messing around in his truck and hitting folks, accident or not should have some consequences so he learns something. If he is connected, hopefully a DA will have some balls and still see this through and its not just swept under the rug. My dad taught me there are no real accidents, there is inattentiveness, being stupid and plain just having ones head up your ass. Yes, seen plenty of diesel trucks blow black smoke before and figured most had the engine chipped. Not sure how they pass state inspection though? Yes, Texas has made the news far too often lately for our governor is a dick on all kinds of issues (Covid as example) and even though I’m republican, do not agree with new laws that recently took place from the Texas legislature. Don’t hate on Texas for some of the stupid stuff being done for no state is perfect. We still provide more oil and gas to the country than any other state so we do carry our on weight. When hurricanes happen or other national disasters happen in the country, Texas is there to lend a hand. Texas Baptist Men is but one of many organizations you will almost always see helping. Many states step up so not dissing on anyone here.
