@AJS ... could you put an D/F/G next to the guys? I can't keep all the far prospects straight. Gracias.

He's still your father. EDIT: I just realized that's Jackson Blake's dad helping Dave Spehar find the bottom of the player's bench. SECOND EDIT: Just for @geaux_sioux ... look at all the fishbowls!

Fargo, 0600 hours, Fri Jul 14: Nine hours later ... And the public has been told next to nothing, and in one way the wrong thing. Were these two events associated or unrelated? Retaliation? Why were the FBI, the ATF, US Marshals, and ND BCI all at the shooter's apartment an hour after? Why was the entire complex evacuated for 12+ hours after law enforcement arrival? Why was Fargo Fire called in for a boom truck to look before entry? Why was a robot and a drone deployed before entry? We have a shooter's name, but no photo, 60 hours later? Yet the (weak press conference, weaker presence) chief says he was "known" to FPD? How are the civilian by-standers that were hurt in the events? How does FPD and Mayor Mahoney respond to the AM1100 The Flag Saturday afternoon question, "Is Fargo safe?", after this, and Jupiter Paulson, and a 16 year old in May. Are we going to let this be put down the "Vegas Route 91" memory hole also?

Been avoiding for some reason. https://www.wistv.com/2021/06/08/14-year-old-passes-away-after-brutal-assault/?outputType=amp This past week won’t improve the growing perception (reality?). FPD Twitter the last week is monstrous ending in horror. Fargo radio (1100) Saturday afternoon was openly asking, “Is Fargo safe.” If I do go, it’s licensed and not empty.

That’s one of our nattering nabobs of negativism being protected from learning Chaves gets important work done.

With the Amazon expansions in Fargo that retail will be killed off as well.

And you do not put out the name and image of the officer that stopped the criminal. Period.

Weakest press conference by a chief with a fallen officer I’ve yet to witness. He’s lucky I’m not mayor of Fargo.

Lowering requirements for pilots? How about for neurosurgeons too? They can only < bleep > up and kill one at at time.

I'm guessing the timing is no accident or coincidence.

... and is less likely to be found in non-compliance with NCAA rules.

The NCAA sent out a Q&A to members clarifying some NIL activities are impermissible. Here's a sampling of them: "It would seem, at this moment, the definition of NIL has different interpretations around the country," Chaves said.

Someone tell me again how Chaves and Martinson are not doing things.
